Good on you!
Dear gods, how I abhor proselytizing Xians.

[(Anonymous)]

Proselytising atheists are a ok though,huh?

[tabaqui]

How'd you get there?

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT They exist. Richard Dawkins and his ilk.

Anyone's religion can be obnoxious if they don't also live by live and let live.

[tabaqui]

Oh, I know they do, just wondering how Anon got there from what I said.

Hah, this is great OP! Is Veggie Tales like really Christian or something? Sucks he backed out of the deal though, Power Rangers is awesome, he totally missed out!

[(Anonymous)]

it's animated vegetables telling bible stories so.........yeah.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh, I guess that vague memory of seeing some veggie tale version of the birth of jesus wasn't some fever dream and actually real?.. The more you know I guess.

[(Anonymous)]

alas, not a fever dream! it is, or was, quite real. I was in college when it was a thing (like OP I guess?) so I was actually pretty amused by Silly Songs with Larry, but over time they got less entertaining and more straight-up bibley, I think the original creators had less and less control over the writing. thankfully I was getting more and more atheist at the same time so win-win.

[erinptah]

It's part Bible stories with Important Life Lessons, part modern-day stories with Important Life Lessons, occasional fairytale/book takeoffs with Important Life Lessons. Explicitly from a Christian perspective, but the Lessons are (or were, it's been a while) mostly general nice/inoffensive things like "sharing is good" and "it's okay to make mistakes" and "help other people." Not exactly converting-the-unbelievers material...

(And then there's Silly Songs With Larry, which are just good comedy to bring fun and joy into the world.)

[(Anonymous)]

Interesting! I always had a distant memory of the show but knew nothing about it. I was expecting some serious bible-school show based on the secret, so that's good to know.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd argue that its general niceness is what makes it converting-the-unbelievers - though not in OP's case. After all, who can argue with those lessons? They're universally helpful and positive. Not all conversion is in-your-face, some of it is subtle because it's more effective. See: missionary work overseas where religious programs offer food, education, and other services in third world countries.

[(Anonymous)]

LOL! Good for you, and I hope you ragged him for going back on his word.

[juniperphoenix]

I have this icon. I couldn't not reply. :)

As a fellow PR fan who also spent a big chunk of my teenage years being proselytized to, I salute you!

Obligatory chance to drop this Veggietales/Evangelion podcast made by the only people I'd trust to make a Veggietales podcast. http://www.audioentropy.com/let-me-tell-you-about-evangelion

[(Anonymous)]

Just popping in to say that Veggietales is rad and I still listen to the Silly Songs playlists on Youtube every year or so. Veggietales was bought out by a non-Christian company now I believe, but even their older retellings of Biblical stories were fun first, with a light sprinkling of basic morals second. Grew up in a Catholic household and there were much worse cartoons you could be forced to watch.

[epicurean]

Lol dang, OP.

I remember watching PW when young (dropped it when they changed Pink Ranger's actress because she was my favorite and I was butthurt) so this is hilarious. Poor dude, didn't know what he was getting into.

[(Anonymous)]

As a non-evangelical, non-American Christian, I am deeply bemused by Veggie Tales anyway, and the idea of them converting an adult atheist is just o_0
