Amusing, in a Slightly Discouraging Way

This YouTube short posted by ConversationswithaCalvinist and uploaded just in time for Easter weekend captures … well, it captures something about the state of evangelicalism in 2025:

BAPTIST: All right, guys, I wanted to check in and see what everybody has planned for Easter weekend.

TORAH BROS: Well, last night, we celebrated our seder. All praise to Yahashua.

BAPTIST: Yaha- what now?

PENTECOSTAL: You guys heard that, he just spoke in tongues.

TORAH BROS: No, I didn’t.

PENTECOSTAL: Sure, you did, and I have the gift of interpretation. Everybody, he said, “Jesus”.

TORAH BROS: No, I said his real name, “Yahashua”. It matters how you say it.

LUTHERAN: Actually, it really doesn’t.

UNIVERSALIST: That’s right. It doesn’t matter what you say or what you believe, we’re all headed to the same heaven.

LUTHERAN: Actually, you’re more wrong than he is. Why can’t we all just be normal?

PRESBYTERIAN [wearing a sweater vest and smoking a cigar, clearly intended to resemble Doug Wilson]: Exactly. Why can’t everyone just be normal like us?

LUTHERAN: Okay, please don’t put us together …

PRESBYTERIAN: You cut me deep just now.

REFORMED BAPTIST: It’s okay, bud. I’ll partner with you.

PRESBYTERIAN: No thanks. It looks like superior theology will be riding solo.

UNITED METHODIST: Well, just so you all know, I’m willing to partner with anybody.

REFORMED BAPTIST: Trust us, we know.

BAPTIST: Listen, I just came to ask about your Easter plans.

BIG EVA: Guys, check it out. At the Big Eva Multiplex, Megachurch and Mini Mall, we have a huge Easter weekend planned. We have a fully operational roller coaster on our stage, where a man-sized Easter bunny is going to ride around during the service and throw Easter eggs out into the audience while our worship band plays Jesus, Take the Wheel.

BAPTIST: Are you really going to have a roller coaster on stage for Easter Sunday?

BIG EVA: Oh no, that’s on Saturday. We’re not going to have service on Sunday. We want to give our staff the day off so they can spend the holiday with their families. And if you love Jesus, you’re going to cancel church on Easter Sunday.

TORAH BROS: I’m telling you, it’s pronounced Yahashua.

LUTHERAN: Sure it is.

UNITED METHODIST: All I know is, if I come Saturday, I’d better see some rainbow-colored eggs.

That’s it, that’s all. Our regular reader WiC writes: “I don’t follow the guy or know him aside from this clip, which showed up on another feed. Found it amusing, in a slightly discouraging way.”

Yeah, that about says it. Happy Easter, all.
