‘like Big Brother’ …
‘like Big Brother’
lol, that’s so true! Not to mention the whole idea in the Bible that it’s wrong to think certain things (eg. lust, anger) sounds a lot like ‘thoughtcrime’
I can imagine them saying ‘be careful little minds what you think’. How creepy would that be.
Tracy rules, btw.

She’s a wonderful and intelligent woman. There’s no need for insecurity on her part, as far as I’m concerned. . .
Tracie’s voice is …
Tracie’s voice is shaking and she let a tear out during the reading of this “song”.
You can really tell she is shaken and sorry for her childhood spoiled with such abomination of people which thought her this crap.
If they made me read this when I was 6 years old, I would find them and make them eat a bible through their ass.
She seems intelligent, honest and incredibly tolerant. Tracie cures my misanthropy.
@armelix73 Mark …
@armelix73 Mark Twain said (paraphrasing): “The secret source of humor itself is not joy, but sorrow.”
And I think we are all afraid of being rejected all the time. Especially when millions are watching you. And if you do something really stupid, they can watch you over and over again. Makes everyone insecure.
But I agree we all love her. I love her exactly the way she is now.

@Groggy1981 it scared my borther the first time he heard about god. he hid in the closet for 1 week and wouldet eat because he thought he was a bad kid just because he dident know about god before. and he was 3!!
yes childens song …
yes childens song are quit violent
@Satanbaphomet True …
@Satanbaphomet True that
True story: i went to a religous event for a week or so and there was a adoration (smoky incense ahoy) and i stayed at a low ground elevation for 1-2 hours and i got a lung problem after that event.
Christian adoration stinks for me.
I got a song for …
I got a song for you. “Jesus Christ was brutally murdered because I’m a loathsome worthless pile of sinning shit!” Great for all children.
@peteq1972 I …
@peteq1972 I remember singing even more messed up ones at the Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints, aka LDS, aka the Morons-er Mormons.
I was lucky enough to start questioning at a very early age, leaving the church buildings and going out behind to read Roger Stern’s 500 page The Life and Death of Superman. At age 6, I was fairly impressed with myself. Thank goodness for comics, Superman>Jesus
the fact that you …
the fact that you now think of it as weird. is because of your change in consciousness. most people never get past the indoctrination. they never question their belief, part of their belief is never to question it
I remember …
I remember listening to that when I was little… hearing it now is weird
The worst part of …
The worst part of this is that there are actual adults that still believe this nonsense. Adults that have never gotten over what was brainwashed into them at a young age. This destructive cycle completes itself when these adults put those irrational fears into their children.
this is the …
this is the distinction, science wants to know to uncover mystery ans (some, not all) relig wants you to ” be careful” wat u hear go see…its de facto tunnelvision. dont listen to reason , cling to ur god despite wat anyone/thing sez
Why is Tracie …
Why is Tracie always acting in such a insecure fashion!? It’s kind of annoying and non-sexy. She’s always filling in with a laugh, regardless of what she says. Is she afraid of being rejected and unaccepted?
Tracy! Your opinion matters, regardless of other people’s opinion! Don’t be afraid, just shoot! Nobody’s judging you! We love you as you are!
Those who judge you doesn’t count!
I can`t believe …
I can`t believe they make the kids sing this stuff, they know full well what they are doing to them.
Those songs remind me of a billy collony clip talking about religion. funny clip.
“Little Ears be …
“Little Ears be careful what you hear” ?????
Unbelieveble !!! what a stupid thing to teach children.
Sounds like Jebus Camp.
I lover her …
I lover her explainations towards the end. It’s like Christians, or theists in general, claim to have faith but hold so much fear that there is no way they have faith. I’m not convinced they even have respect for themselvs to fallow a religion/God that contradicts faith with fear.
You are a sinful …
You are a sinful boy says the catholic priest. “Now you must take my staff and give it a good thrashing against your ass”. Lets hang those bastards!
Agreed
Agreed
Tracie is …
Tracie is awesome!
Matt and Tracie is the best team
-l- I LOVE THIS …
-l- I LOVE THIS SHOW, CAUSE IT SHOWS HOW STUPID IS THE ADORATION TO A EMPTY GOD, AND I MEAN ANY GOD, (NONE OF THE EMPTY GODS SHALL EVER STAND ABOVE ME, NONE OF THY WEAK BROTHERS SHALL EVER SHARE MY BLOOD – BEHEMOTH) -l-
“Little Ears be …
“Little Ears be careful what you hear” has to be the most hypocrite line ever.
first off it’s just perverse to tell a young child not to listen to what other say, and the worst thing about it is that they are actually saying what the children in fact should be careful about.
i hate Christian Extremists.
omg best episode

omg best episode
thankyou Tracie
The good old days – …
The good old days – when the priest told me I was a sinful boy, despite the fact that I’d never actually done anything bad. Good old Christianity.
Also, I can recite …
Also, I can recite all of those songs from memory.
It’s a wonder that I have any shard of sanity left in me.
Maybe I don’t….
