When Jesus met Google: the Xmas clip you have to watch

Most of us know the story of how Jesus was born. Or we’ve at least seen the Nativity scenes with the manger, stable and farm animals. But what if we wanted to … reinvent that story? What if, say, Jesus and Mary had an iPhone with which they could access the Internet?

Behold!

This video is very clever. How does one get a donkey? How did Mary let Joseph know about the immaculate conception … and where do you buy myrrh from anyway? Tune in:

Sorry to put a damper on things, but as a Catholic I actually find this offensive. I am open and respectful to other's beliefs and would like the same consideration. Doubt a twist on the Quarn (spelling!) etc would be considered entertaining. If we're going to push for religious equality, ALL religions shoud be respected.
Rant over- just had to put it out there. Merry Christmas!

So how will you reconcile respecting my belief (which is that this is cool and should be widely shown) with your belief that it is offensive?

Why should all religions be respected?
That makes no sense. So much damage has been done in the name of religion that questioning it seems to be the smartest thing to do.

I'm all for respecting individual rights but I'll be buggered if I respect every mad idea held up as *untouchable* religion.

I actually find your statement pretty offensive, this little show hurts no-one.
Let's look at the damage done because the Roman Catholic church won't allow the use of condoms. Talk about offensive!

I'm not demanding it be taken down, I am simply expressing my own opinion. Sorry you find it offensive.

This is not offensive! For God sake, get a sense of humour. Jesus had one. And God most certainly does. Remember, Christmas is a time of joy & celebration, but I know how much you Catholics love to wallow in misery. Is that really what you think God planned for us? No. Enjoy life & smile.
