No one, no one, NO ONE... is going to get this joke.
Basically I read the Skeptic's Annotated Bible and found it to be a load of bullshit... I'm making fun of atheists, not religion.
How does this constitute Flint and Joe? Flint's in it. There you go.
I would give a long drawn out thing, but let me just say that I feel the SAB neglects interpretation and reason.
Songs used:
Bad Attitude by Meat Loaf
(The name of this song is HaShem, but it's the last song on How to Dismantle an Atom Bomb) by U2
Incident on 57th Street by Bruce Springsteen
Be-Bop-a-lula by Gene Vincent
Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen
This is just an glorified blog
I know that NG is the place for people to submit anything under the sun in flash format but when you know that absolutely nobody will understand what the heck you're talking about...why do it? Honestly this piece would be better suited for a personal website rather than a massively public forum such as NG. It didn't look bad and the audio was understandable but that's where the good points end. Sorry I can't give this a higher rating than 4/10.
I still haven't put up any of my April fools' day flashes on NG, just be glad about that.
Also, if the sound and animation was good, that should generally be considered a good, solid flash, regardless if you don't get it :P NG isn't just about comedy you know... although I will admit almost everything I've made here is comedy.
nope, don't get it
You were right, I don't get it. Never read the Skeptic's Annotated Bible so that may explain why I don't see how this makes fun of it. Still, I'm sure it is no more rediculous than any of the more traditional versions of the bible.
Ah, but the Bible is complicated and filled with mistranslations and things that need interpretation. Furthermore, From Samuel I on has been pretty much proven through archeology, as well as certain parts of Exodus, Genesis, and Joshua (although to be fair, some archeologists believe parts of Joshua have been disproven as well).
Yeah
Thought it was weird how you put in the first line of the description how no one would get it. But I guess what I don't understand is why you'd make a flash with a joke, that no one would get.
The flash looked pretty good, though. I just didn't quite get it. You did warn me though, I guess.
I make flashes based on my personal interests and experiences. I do not make flashes for public consumption. I hope for public consumption, but do not aim for it.
I guess it's been on my mind recently, the SAB is incredibly unfair, leaving no room for interpretation, misinterpreting themselves, taking parts out of context, and going as far as to try to disprove people who HAVE interpretations.
What did he say?
It's kinda unintelligible, either raise the voice, or lower the music.
Also, you can't make fun of atheists, there is not really such thing as atheists, just people who don't believe in god.
I noticed that no matter how low I made the music, you could still only hear part of what they were saying, but I also felt that you could understand the important stuff. If you want, I'll send you a transcript.
Also, an atheist is someone who doesn't believe in a god. I believe in God, from the Abrahamic religions.
