Jesus was brave, did I mention he was really brave, while invulnerable to the darkness being made of pure light he was as brave as brave could be. Currently partway through Bart Ehrmans' Heaven and Hell a fascinating look at the evolution of the concepts in Early Christian thought, so far no mention of Our Lord having three finglers.
The idea that "people who disagree with me will be tortured forever" explains a lot of the lack of empathy from fundies. "It's okay to hurt you now because we're saving you from our God later"
Works perfectly, because then the other half who believe and have empathy follow like cowering sheep thinking, "I have to do what this book and the person telling me about the book say or I and my loved ones will be punished forever."
It’s funny, in a very sad way, how some religious types live their lives in terror of whatever “h*ll” their pastor/priest type describes to them yet they don’t spend any time at all worrying about the h*ll of other religions…what if one of those was the “true” h*ll? Sigh. They never think this far…
I think a lot of Fundies also have ASPD (psychopathy / sociopathy) because one of their main 'arguments' against atheists is, "if you don't have a god that gives you rules to obey, what's stopping you from going out and committing atrocities?" The answer is morality / empathy / the ability to feel guilt. Lacking those is a symptom of ASPD
@@Peace_And_Love42 To be fair, that "everyone who disagrees with us is actively trying to manipulate and control you" is a mindset that exists not only in religion but in many political camps as well. Sartres idea of right-wingers arguing in "bad faith" was terrible for the debate climate. Same with the feminist concept of "internalized misogyny" used against any women who disagree with the feminist agenda. Meanwhile, conservatives tend to blame things they don't like on decadent culture brainwashing the youth, whether it's 1880s French decadent literature or 1980s metal music and Dungeons and Dragons. "You're just brainwashed" is sadly just a standard coping mechanism for anyone who has trouble accepting the fact that sometimes, people just have differing opinions.
I have legit heard fundies claim that “the hottest fires burn black” to try to explain this away. Don’t ask me what their source for this info is, it was never provided.
I’m nb and often freak people out when they first meet me bc they can’t tell “which one I am” This inspired me-Now I’m just gonna start introducing myself with “be not afraid”
okay im sorry this has nothing to do with your comment but i misread nb to be short for "nightmare beginning" (the sonic.exe series) instead of "nonbinary" and I was like "you seem like an exetior i sure hope so at least" and then i was like "OH. AS IN, GENDER." hilarious idea tho, good for you
Depending on the theology angels could also be considered non-binary so maybe that's why even the human looking messenger ones say "do not be afraid". Bros in ancient Jerusalem saw an androgynous person and were like "what the FUCK is THAT"
I can completely nutshell the Bible, and not in 3 minutes and 40 seconds. Old Testament: Don't fk around or I'll fk you up. New Testament: You better fkn love each other or I'll fk you up.
The difference between 'mythology in a nutshell' and 'religion in a nutshell' is that 'mythology in a nutshell' is actually 'other people's religion in a nutshell'
There was a beautiful quote by author Joanna Maciejewska: “I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.” Kinda sums it all up.
As far as the people... that's what most people look like, in 2024, when you can see into them. There are more people alive now, than there were from the beginning of the human race up thru 1900. Your human population has grown so quickly since hygeine, medicine, industrialized food production, refrigeration and transportation became a thing. So, in order to fill all the bodies, we had to, err... dip into the pool of demon souls. And of course, demon souls would be attracted to their king, YHVH. That's why the Abrahamic faiths are so popular. As far as why the demons in this animation look "pixar cute"... demons are rhetorical creatures created to explain and personify humans' worst urges as some kind of outside agency. They're anthropomorphized excuses, IOW. However, in the prior art that the AI learns from, demons have been drawn as boogeymen to scare little children into believing some nonsense that will make them easier to manipulate. But if they're TOO scary (to a sheltered 5 year old), it'll backfire. The goal is to make the children compliant, and to feel safe as long as, and only if, they stay in that specific church community. So, in the church mindset, "their" good guys (the non-Christian good guys, IOW) should be scarier than "our" (the Christian animation's target viewers') demons... the faith is instilled thru these types of presuppositions, even more than by the overt messaging. It's good of you to notice and point it out, so that people can become conscious of the manipulation. Sometimes even the preachers don't understand what they're doing - they're just copying what was done to them, and doing it to the next generation, because it provides the comfortable lifestyle and popularity that they crave. Just know that, deep down, many of those smiling happy people are miserable inside, and some very dark shit happens behind closed doors.
Two unicorns walk away "No don't wave at them dear. The one with the dangly parts just laughed at me, and after I waited a whole god day to get my name."
FYI: the "double eyelid" is called the Nictitating Membrane. It's present in sharks, frogs, some reptiles, and birds. The little pink fleshybitz in the inner corner of each of your eyes is the vestigial remnants of a third eyelid.
So we are indeed the offspring of five monkeys reproducing with a ret***ed fish-squirrel... Ms Garrison was right all along! FYI, i didn't need to be convinced about the theory of evolution or anything... and the third eyelid stuff was interesting, never really payed much attention to that specific detail.
Surprisingly enough, some mammals have it too. Cats have it, although you don't normally see it because I think it only comes out once the eyelid we all know about is already closed. A long time ago my family put our cats on tranquilizers when traveling with them because that was believed to make traveling easier on them. Anyway some of the time during that trip I could see that membrane had come out a little ways and was just staying there when their eyes were otherwise open. And don't worry about the cats. Once the drugs wore off their eyelids worked normally again. It's just that for some reason when they were a little zonked out but still conscious that membrane tended to creep out a little bit, like the muscle that normally controls it got a little lazy or something.
Have you seen the description of angels or seen artist renditions of them? A Christian retelling of Doom through a Christian lens with Jesus as Doomguy could totally work
@@vogonp4287 I'm not saying that he does. Just that it shouldn't be terribly hard to turn Jesus into a demon slaying machine. Give him some biblically inspired weapons and the righteous furry of the old testament God, I'm just saying it could be a fun spin off.
@@stanleyhyde8529 I'm just imagining old testament God as a hardcore furry: "I just fwooded the earth OwO. Noah, save the animals UwU" and I'm all for it.
I was just thinking that hahaha. Jesus has overcome his rival, the crucifix, and now the two team up to sort out a bureaucratic misunderstanding in hell (but this is really just a minor filler arc before the big episode where he returns to the world of the living)
Its honestly fun to watch Fundies write fanfiction about jesus. Its like how we treat our oc's. But then they go on to talk about jesus in a way that no ome would talk about our oc's
Doing my best to remember my Catholic upbringing, Adam and Eve committed the first sin, so because of them, all humans were sinners and doomed to hell. Jesus's birth, life, and specifically his death was God's reset. Jesus is the sacrificial lamb for all of humanity, so he opened up the path to heaven for those who followed him. I assume all the good people in Hell would have been true believers had they been alive after Jesus. Jesus going into Hell was not part of my religious education, though. That's usually John Constantine in my experience.
@@BadPenny3and then compare this to Judaism which Christianity is supposed to be based on and you will find nothing even remotely close to this. It is really sad what the Christians did to Judaism. They really did turn it into a completely different religion
This is all a weird misreading of even the traditional Christian belief about what happened here, which is not that he descended to the same place that has the lake of fire and whatever. All the dead people were there because the place he went was literally just "the underworld", not all the other stuff that's associated with Hell. They weren't there being tortured or whatever. This is the problem with doing evangelism by AI, the AI might just make stuff up that literally isn't Biblically accurate. (I don't believe any of this, but I was raised evangelical.)
@@rossallan3585 she has sung before. i will not listen to that much content i would need to find it. but i recall it was passable before. this was very good. she has been taking lessons and practicing for a musical, clearly all that training has paid off. i expect soon we will have musical shorts from her singing about Baphomet. these will get enough likes that she will be persuaded to audition for Britain's Got Talent. she will succeed, become a pop star, use that to catapult into appearing in the next star trek movies of tv series, and abandon these videos.
Emmas Duck on a Swing earring is the saviour of this video. for all of the horrors, that jolly little chap swinging around having a blast on their little swing makes it slightly tolerable. So cute.
I always forget about Hell, it's crazy that there are people whose worldview is literally shaped by "There's a spooky haunted house that I am afraid I will have to go to if I die with like, goblins and ghouls and orcs and stuff." And like those people are real and they think about that all of the time.
If we go by the actual text of the bible, hell is completely empty now because Jesus freed everyone from their sins. Also, I find it pretty weird how Jesus dying on a cross is used as the main symbol. Like, that's bizarre. Almost like saying they eat his body and drink his blood. Crazy stuff
@@jonnyblaze2692True! it's so deeply engrained in me that i actively try to forget about religion and fail due to it :3 s1 please get me outta amerihell
So...Jesus does hell missions? And it's possible to be *accidentally* sent to **hell** ? Setting aside the whole "eternal torture" thing, the idea the system doesn't even categorize properly is just some bad design.
It's known as Decensus Christi ad Inferos, 'the descent of Christ into Hell or Hades' mentioned in the Apostles & Athanasian Creed; was supposed to take place in the 3 days between Jesus Crucifixion/Death & Resurrection. Mentioned in The Gospel of Nicodemus and a strong tenet of the Christian faith (although we don't like to talk about it!) Jesus supposedly journeyed to Hell, saved Adam & Eve and whole bunch of other righteous people who died before he preached the Good News and then was miraculously resurrected on the third day.
@@karahughes7074 Not three days but about a day and a half. There's a strong Christian tradition of not being able to count the passage of time correctly.
@@karahughes7074 It's not that people don't like to talk about it, it's that it literally didn't even according to traditional Christianity go down like this. The place he went was supposed to be Sheol, and they're rendering it here like it's Gehenna. This is just AI nonsense supervised by people who really don't know their own religion.
@@Nassifeh I mean, let's be fair, they're making up nonsense about the nonsense other people made up on top of even more nonsense people made up that was mistranslated into other nonsense that was misinterpreted. So getting your religion wrong and making shit up on your own is kind of the most Christian thing you can do.
@@Nassifeh I mean, ik it was supposed to be sheol, but that's only cos I underwent the religious Jewish study and I dug that deep into the Bible only because I was baffled why so many people believe in it when God seems to be a giant jerk, to put it nicely I'm from Poland which is mostly Catholic and when they say Credo in church, they say "[Jesus] descended to the hell" ("zstąpił do piekieł") and that's what most people believe (if they even bother to think about it instead of repeating it brainlessly), the few educated people know (and they're usually non-religious ironically), but the vast majority of believers think Jesus literally went to a place with horned devil with pitchforks the same thing with Mary worship: yeah, maybe the church documents will technically say that you pray to God for worship while praying to Mary (or saints) is a completely different kind of "prayer" where you ask for intercession (aka that she'll rely your request to God, making it stronger with her authority - to put it in a very simplified way) instead of worshipping her, and that people pray in front of the statues, just as an visual aid, instead of considering the statues actually holy and praying to them… but if you ask any village person, they'll very openly say that they pray to the statue (or that they worship, rather than "venerate", some saint) because it has magical powers
1:25 "A part of hell where good souls had been trapped, and waited rescue". Wait, good souls get sent to HELL???!!! Even when they're good??!! Who the hell (pardoning the pun) is in charge of this?? He should be fired!!! 😂😂
That they would create a dozen animation channels all with "in a nutshell" in the name makes me think they are trying to piggyback off searches for Kurzgesagt.
@@StanleyKubick1it's not the best explainer channel, but it's pretty good all things considered. The researching is decent, the narratives are decent, the visuals are ...okaaayyy. I don't watch them anymore, I've moved on to more niche and high quality creators, but it isn't a bad starting point.
23:30 Those desperately euphoric faces throughout the song are just insanely unhinged. Reminds me of my evangelical cult days where we were pressured to rejoice even when unhappy and manifest gratitude even when we were going through pain.
Sounds like a Bible dungeons and dragons. Next we will have a "choose your own adventure" Bible. "If Jesus leads the faithful, turn to page 63. Otherwise continue on to next page"
I never really thought about this until just now, but the way the "Jesus goes to Hell" tradition rewrites all of Jewish theology is just... (Trump voice) "A lot of people actually don't know this, nobody ever went to Heaven before me. That's a true story."
Trump: And God appeared in front of me and said: Sir, you're not supposed to be here yet. And he bowed down to me. He was a big god. The biggest god. And he said: Sir. I will send you back to USA where you will get lots of money from Maga people. This is also a true story that people doesn't know. Only I know. Because my uncle was a scientist.

@@lucky4d725 AI art is getting better all the time, and it's been capable of incredible beauty since at least a year ago. You can hate on it now because you can identify it, bit there will come a day when you consistently appreciate AI art, if that day hasn't already come.
Something about ai generated videos about non canon bible stories with a 300$ patron tier feels like literally exactly the modern day equivalent of the tables Jesus flipped in that church for trying to monetize access to worship.
If Ken Ham has taught me anything, its that the store is going to be filled with DVDs of content you can find for free on RU-vid. Not even Blu-ray, but DVD.
I know "Christians" have issues understanding how time work, but like jesus and knights are like 800 years apart... And that style of armour is even more later then that!
The idea of good souls being trapped in hell is not only heretical but also makes God sound pretty weak if he can't enforce the basics of his cosmic order
All souls went to Sheol before Jesus, aka the realm of the dead, not hell/gehenna. People's souls still go to Sheol to this day as long as they aren't horrible people like Trump or televangelists and aren't redeemed by Jesus.
The one blue fingernail... I know Penn Jillette (the magician) always has one red fingernail to remember his mother since she died. It's possible the AI has seen so many photos of men's hands and *some* of them had a single painted nail so every so often it does the same to one finger when drawing men's hands.
I don't think it's that. It starts reflecting a light on the fingernail, then gets confused. One of the major problems with AI images or video is the lack of ability to maintain consistent lighting direction/intensity. It doesn't start that color, it's just something that changes as the lighting shifts.
@@Nassifehyes, that would make sense. There is a kind of feedback loop and it could be that what it started as just a little reflection of the lighting ended up being treated as a light source in its own right. I suspect the longer you kept those animations going the weirder they would get.
The Harrowing of Hell was also part of the Corpus Christi plays staged annually across medieval Europe. “Fun” fact: the Coventry Carol, still well-known, is a remnant of 14th century religious drama. A lot of traditional “lore” survives from apocrypha, partly because denominations can’t agree what’s canon.
I wish everyone collected all traditions, including various apocrypha, barayta, midrash, Islamic Jesus etc. etc. and compiled it all into one lore book telling the entire story chronologically (and branching out whenever there are contradictory timelines)
3:37 Ah, Jesus when he found the first flame. And with it, he gathered his allies: The witches if Izalith, long lost in this age. Nito, first and Lord of the Dead. Seath the Scaleless, betrayer of his own kind. And the Furtive Pygmy, so easily forgotten. Together they struck down the eternal dragons, and ushered in an Age of Fire.
I'm glad that there are people in the comments of these videos pointing out the inaccuracies, and that it's not just a thousand people going "Amen 🙏🙏🙏" at Shrimp Jesus
I agree. But I'm also glad that almost all of those thousand amen people aren't people, just bots and other purely AI channels. AI reacting to AI, learning and stealing from AI, talking to AI, thinking it's people, but it's AI. Kinda creepy too though. 😂
@@lethfuil the early AI to AI conversations were hilarious, if a bit too short before they got to the repetitive stage. Also people using it to write bad fanfics purely for fun. My favourite is still one of the Harry Potter ones.
Heya Emma! Posting here since I just received my Pride Baphy Plushie!!! They're so cute and I love them so much!

A good sign a song is AI is if it's right around 2 minutes long. AI music-generating websites are improving the length, but for the time this channel came out, it was right around 2 minutes.
You're right @4:30ish, the fish symbol would've been a much better holy symbol to deploy. It's even thematic with the context of the fanfic where Jesus was collecting and pulling lost souls out of hell.
2:03 - Maybe the magic blue fingernail works similarly to Devil Bringer from Devil May Cry 4, it just glows blue when demons are nearby. Clearly Jesus, being son of god and all, has a angelic version of it. Clearly.
And now, we examine Emma 4:44 "And ye, did Jesus vanquish the dermatophytes, the fungus that leads to cracked, discolored, unsightly toenails. And Digger, the chief among them said unto Jesus, 'truly, thy power is even greater than that of the mighty Lamisil Cream (Terbinafine HCl 1%)' And with twice daily application as directed by a dermatologist, the dermatophytes did flee before him." This is the word of the LORD. Thanks be to AI God. (Dangit, I bet they didn't even have those creepy Lamisil ads in the UK, so, apologies if this makes no sense.)
