I know I'll probably catch some flack over this one because it's too close to home for some people. Note that what this video does is not to make fun of Christians, but to mock the hyper-religious actions of some Christians. Ridiculous, dead religion deserves to be mocked. (Think Elijah mocking Baal's prophets when they were trying to call down the fire or Paul suggesting to the Judaizers that they should just go ahead and castrate themselves.)
In my opinion, if you think this mocks Christians, you're missing the point. These sort of hyper-religious antics exist in the modern church world and insults authentic Christianity. Obviously, many believers express spiritual gifts in authentic ways, but there's a spirit of religious fanaticism that grips some people and disgraces the true work of God in His church.
To tell the truth, I just thought this video was funny. If you think so, we're on the same page. If it upsets you, oh well, there are other things you'll be upset with me about too if you knew me well. Just show me some grace. I'm not trying to offend anybody. I simply think that, for whatever reason the video was made, it does make a legitimate point.
