The problem with youth ministry today: God’s Laxative? Because every Christian needs a spiritual bowel movement?

Here’s yet another perfect example of the dumbing down of holiness to “Christian” youth, and the blurring of the lines between right and wrong. This church produced this childish and even crude video to advertise a summer event for the youth where one of the actors acts like a homosexual.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

And if you thought that video was done in bad taste, you should (if you can bare it) see the following video this same church produced. In this particular video they somehow thought flatulence, diarreah, and other bowel movement issues was just what a lost and dying world–going to Hell–needs to hear. The name of the video alone should be enough “fruit” for you to “judge” that there is NOTHING Christian about this. (That’s right, I said judge. And inevitably there will be some people more upset about that, than the content of these videos).

The title of this awful video is: “G-Lax: God’s Laxative. If you’re one of those who actually needs to taste the “fruit” before making a judgment, then watch the video.

  1. I do believe you are being a little too closed minded. While I agree, they went a little too far with the second video, I saw nothing wrong with the first video. You say that the guy was acting like a homosexual. Are all male hair stylists homosexual? Are all males with feminine characteristics homosexul? If you say yes, then you are guilty of prejudism and clearly are a liar, because I know several male hair stylists that act a little feminie but are clearly not homosexual. No where in the video does the guy do or say anything sexual or inappropriate. It is called satire; maybe you should pick up the Canterbury Tales and learn about it. Maybe if we didn’t have people like you trying to find everything wrong with everyone else, more people would come to Jesus. As a youth minister, one must reach teens in a different and creative way. Although there is a line that one must not cross, you are not the judge of anybody but yourself. The Bible clearly tells me that.

  2. Yea, and Canterbury Tales was so Christian, so let’s base our argument on that. The Bible tells us to judge ourselves first, then judge each other righteously. If you think the Bible tells you that you cannot pass judgment, or say that something is wrong or unbiblical, to or about anyone else but yourself, then you are clearly in need of some good old fashioned Bible Study.
