Reviews for Haven't Got A Prayer, pt2

What is this?

I gave it a three because of animation, that's it. As far a the story ago it's terrible. Have you even talked to areal christian? Or have you just watch religulous and now think you are the authority on criticizing religions? Have you read the bible? Do you even know what Jesus Christ stood for humanity? I bet you don't, and I bet you also are one of the thousands of narrow-minded people who think everyone that carries a bible is Chrisitan, well that's not true. Maybe next time before you criticize the idea of God and religion, an idea that that's been around longer then arrogant humans crawled out of a cave, you should do your research.

I wish people would stop hate bashing Christianity.

Slackman responds:

I'll have you know that this was cowritten by a Christian. While I have seen Religulous, I didn't exactly think it was the authority on religion, rather that it had some interesting notes but it took some really obvious pot shots. I know what Jesus originally stood for, but I feel that his beliefs have been twisted to fit those of ultra-conservative hate-mongers and then enforced on innocent people.

I never said that everyone who carries a bible is Christian, and I'm not quite sure where you got that from. I don't consider this cartoon to be commentary on the bible, but rather the people who use the bible for their own means. I'm not criticizing the idea of God, but rather the human element that claims to speak for God. I don't know what that has to do with researching, especially because this has nothing to do with the origins of religion.

Call it bashing if you want. I call it satirizing. Unfortunately though, I'm not in the mood for a theological dissertation right now. I'm sorry you didn't like it.

what was that about

at first i thought it might be going somewhere but really it was just a shit storyline ending wasnt funny at all. animation and style was good but the story wasnt. also the composistion wasnt right in most of the scenes u need look at story telling and how to make a gag without boring the audience. your style though i think is fine

Slackman responds:

At least you appreciate my style. I'm sorry I bored you.

I was gonna right a whole rant...

but then I realized it wouldn't change anyone's opinion.

How about next time you make a cartoon, you actually write something original rather than picking on a religion or anyone's religion for that matter. Its not freedom of speech, its respect for your fellow man.

Slackman responds:

I'd call it freedom of speech and encouraging free thought, but that's just me.

I expected better

Your Author Comments stating how you were gong to "explore" different religions caught my interest, but I soon realized that you were simply mocking the aspects of Catholicism that you didn't agree with or understand, which undermined any persuasive points that you wanted to present towards Catholics or Christians (the ending sequence didn't exactly help either). If you were just making this to ridicule the religion, the jokes were rather hackneyed.

Next time, try presenting at least a couple valid reasons why such beliefs are ridiculous or wrong, because Jesus ranting in the bathroom "The gays are kind of creepy, but still!" does not constitute a logical argument for Catholics accepting homosexuality.

Slackman responds:

I apologize for having disappointed you. Each segment was a personal exploration of my own personal opinions as well as general perceptions of different religious groups.

I'm not about to get into an argument here, but points that I presented included anencephaly further exacerbated by pro-life initiatives (also, some people aren't ready for the responsibility of parenthood and shouldn't be punished the rest of their life for one mistake in my personal opinion), violent tendencies not being stopped by the cross and (often propagated by it) and a general intolerance and hate for anyone whose beliefs don't coincide with ultra-conservative religious-right people, which generally doesn't coincide with the golden rule upon which most (if not all) sects of Christianity are formed.

Sorry you didn't like the way I presented my arguments. Unfortunately, I've found that preaching in cartoons tends to drag them down under their own weight. I intended to encourage thought rather than argue against each of these points, as I think it would be hypocritical for me to tell people what to believe.

Not funny in the least...

Whoo! You've animated some obvious flaws in a religion that have been pointed out for years! There is nothing good about this. Not funny, not good looking, not good sounding.

The first one of these was pretty bad too.

Slackman responds:

Ouch.
