My favorite bit in this is about what to do if your town wants to set up a creche on public grounds.

This link has now been tweeted, facebooked, and plastered across every blog on which I ever comment. Ever. Deep, deep love.

This is going on Facebook! I've always wanted someone to respond to my compliment of their Christmas tree with a compliment of my couch.

I finally saw it, is it supposed to be funny or satirical or am I just missing the boat?

I feel the same way. Aspects of it are actually quite interesting, but certain parts of it aare just kind of absurd in a weird way.

I mean, wtf is he serious?

I'm pretty sure all of it is meant to be a joke.

Ok lets go over the first statement.

"When referring to Jesus in front of non Christians, do not call Jesus, "Our Lord," "Savior," or "Mr. Perfect." Instead say "The Son of G0D or maybe not," "The Jew that got away," or "The Bachelor."

Telling Jews that Christ died of natural causes as not to cause controversy.

You don't see the humor in that?

No, I mean, I get the sheer absurdity of it, and rofl by the way, I just couldn't detect if it was supposed to be funny or if he was just an idiot or what...
It was funny, but I didn't know if it was supposed to be funny or what. He seemed so serious about it!

I have since gone back and I get the jokes and it's hillarious, I just didn't know if he was serious or not the first time. You know me, I can be inept at that stuff. Aspergers, NVLD, all that stuff.

Seriously, though, great video. Hillarious, finally.
