			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m back from Egypt, and I haven&#8217;t had the time to watch any interesting YouTube videos that I could share with people, however I just watched one that I have to make a comment on. It&#8217;s called &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvVAV09-dQ8">Converting an indian to christianity -- don&#8217;t let the devil win</a>&#8221; by some YouTube newbie, and it is either a display of outright ignorance, or a hoax.</p>
<p><!-- Smart Youtube --><span class="youtube"><object width="552" height="415"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JvVAV09-dQ8&amp;rel=1&amp;color1=d6d6d6&amp;color2=f0f0f0&amp;border=0&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D18" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JvVAV09-dQ8&amp;rel=1&amp;color1=d6d6d6&amp;color2=f0f0f0&amp;border=0&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D18" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="552" height="415" ></embed><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object></span></p>
<p>The video is a discussion between two American kids and their friend &#8220;Saraa&#8221; who is Indian. In it, they discuss Indian culture and the Hindu religion, before attempting to &#8220;convert&#8221; poor Saraa to Christianity. If you don&#8217;t have time to watch the video, here are a selection of face-palm quotes you might want to peruse:</p>
<p><strong>This is just an epic fail in geography.</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Molly: [Saraa's] Indian. It&#8217;s like&#8230;an African country in Asia.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>This is plain ignorance, not to mention quite racist.<br />
</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Molly: Do you consider yourself Asian or African?</p>
<p>Saraa: Asian.</p>
<p>Molly: Because you look African&#8230;but you&#8217;re Asian.</p>
<p>Rachel: Why are you so dark then?</p>
<p>Saraa: Because I&#8217;m from Asia!</p>
<p>Molly: Why aren&#8217;t your eyes pointy&#8230;or slanted?</p>
<p>*pause*</p>
<p>Molly: It&#8217;s ok, I know you can be what you want, but it&#8217;s not what you look like.</p>
<p>Rachel: Yeah, I think she&#8217;s lying to us.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Yet more ignorance regarding race.</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Rachel: It&#8217;s like, if an African and an Asian had a baby.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Then they move onto religion.</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>(After Saraa explains she is Hindu and doesn&#8217;t believe in Jesus)</p>
<p>Molly: But why don&#8217;t you change if you&#8217;re wrong? You know that believing in multiple gods is a sin?</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>No amateur discussion of religion is right without one mention of Pascal&#8217;s wager.</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Molly: Ok, how about this. There&#8217;s a chance&#8230;well, a very good chance that Christianity is the right religion, and that&#8217;s the religion that has a hell, so if I&#8217;m wrong in your religion I don&#8217;t go to hell, but if you&#8217;re wrong in my religion then you go to hell.</p></blockquote>
<p>So why do I think the video might be fake? It&#8217;s just an inkling I get when watching it, perhaps because I&#8217;ve seen so many Poe&#8217;s in videos, but it doesn&#8217;t come across as how actual conversation goes. Especially at the end when Molly tells Saraa that she can&#8217;t be her friend because she&#8217;s not Christian, and Saraa sort of just accepts it and says &#8220;I need to go home to eat rice&#8221;.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll leave it up to you to decide.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/CapnOAwesome">CapnOAwesome</a> shows us how to make a sandwich that can only be enjoyed by people who don&#8217;t follow the doctrines of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, or Hinduism. If you are an atheist, you can enjoy this sandwich!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2LC5uaREr4"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/_2LC5uaREr4/default.jpg" width="130" height="97" border=0></a></p>
<p>If anyone wants the ingredients, there they are:</p>
<ul>
<li>French Bread (because France is a very secular country)</li>
<li>Alcohol (for drinking whilst you cook, but it&#8217;s also forbidden by Islam)</li>
<li>Bacon (forbidden by Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism)</li>
<li>Cheese (when used with meat this is forbidden by Judaism)</li>
<li>Beef (forbidden by Hinduism and Buddhism)</li>
</ul>
<p>Finally write &#8220;Fuck Jesus&#8221; or some other sort of blasphemy against Jesus on the sandwich using mustard or mayo, and you&#8217;ve offended Christianity :D<br />
