How well did this preach Christianity?
>>
It was one of the key components of my indoctrination as a kid. Even after I managed to escape christianity, I can't help but have a soft spot for veggie tales despite it being pretty shitty on most fronts. It wouldn't be so popular if it didn't work so well.

It wasn't so much about ingraining christian ideology as it was normalizing open discussions of god and shit, which made you all the more receptive when it was time for your parents or the church to forcefeed you. It's nothing particularly special when it comes to religious propaganda, but it gets the job done. The music is damn catchy.
>>
>>91447865
I remember a comic I did when I was a kid. In it, Bob the Tomato was sliced alive with a knife and Larry the Cucumber was crushed alive under a spiky pair of boots. Their bodies were used in a salad that was eaten by Donald Duck, who then on the next page exploded from within, with Bob and Larry being miraculously saved. "We're alive Bob!" "It's a miracle!" Then they got sat on by a really fat lady.

I was a weird kid.

shit but the music was fire

Pretty good, if only because it managed to pull off being enjoyable in addition to being about Christianity.

I think it's fairly normal. In elementary school me and my friends had a whole cast of cartoon characters we came up with called "Uglies." We would make flip books of them getting killed in funny/violent ways.

Having grown up in a conservative Christian household... I remember really enjoying the original Veggietales stuff purely for entertainment purposes. Waaaay better (and more self-aware) than any other kids' propaganda.

Never watched anything post-Jonah, though.

I never really thought so but at least everyone wanted to see the songs. Pretty decent watch when you're in a christian elementary school and the substitute rolls in the tv. Not as good as Prince of Egypt but it could be worse.

I don't even believe in God anymore but Veggie Tales deserves respect because it didn't feel like indoctrination, it felt like life lessons about how to be a good person.

Veggie Tales had some pretty genuine humor and fun songs. Even when it utilized Bible stories and Christian ideology, it didn't preach it in a condescending way. It was more of "These are good morals that Christians believe in," rather than "Everything you hear in this is how you should act exactly with everything taken literally."

I'd show it to my kids and not care about the religous aspect, it's a good children's show. If my kids wanted to learn about Christianity on their own because of it, that's on them.

Also, personal soft spot for the Promised Land song.

I remember the 2D Larryboy cartoon pretty fondly from when I was a lad, although I don't really know if it actually holds up or not.

From what I remember of VeggieTales itself, it seemed pretty non-aggressive with it's religious overtones. At worst; it just conveyed the gist of various Bible stories to children, and sometimes did other adaptations with a kid friendly morals tacked on (I distinctly remember one Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde parody that actually followed the book's narrative surprisingly better than most adaptations, and even included a Mr. Utterson expy). It was decent and watchable enough in it's own right, but relative to other forms of Christian "entertainment"? It was fucking Citizen Kane.

it wasn't particularly "preachy" in the distracting sense. As a kid, I paid less attention to the words and just liked the cartoons and jokes.

As someone whose actually studied theology with Jesuits, I thought it did a pretty good job.

The creators of the show are actually quite chill dudes and very affable.

Their ability to adapt biblical tales was actually quite entertaining, along with some of the pop culture references that I only noticed as I got older.

The music was pretty well done, as were some of their side skits, like the silent film one where "The piano must go up!"

Heck, I'd show vegetales to my kids if I had any, simply because I had a lot of fun with it.

I still find myself humming tunes from Silly Songs with Larry when my mind wanders.

They even had the gall to adapt the old testament story where good guy David sent his best friend to die in a war just so he could literally cųck him.

They replace the wife with a rubber duck and make it a pie throwing war. That was weird but not as weird as replacing 'rape' with 'slapped each other with fishes'. It's like they were saying the three stooges were bad.
The friend still came back with literal PTSD in the David story.

>How well did this preach Christianity?

It didn't.

It wasn't remotely about Jesus. The Bible stories it retold were all from the Old Testament. And half of the time it wasn't even a Bible story but a goofy story with a moral about manners or doing the right thing.

The stories were mostly pretty tight, the visuals were clever, and the music was outstanding. Mine isn't a religious family, but I bought those DVDs for my kids, and they watched them plenty, and I thought they were great.

In all the videos we had, and we had most of them, not once did it preach that you should believe anything in the Nicene Creed, I don't remember any stories from the New Testament, and it explicitly played the Old Testament stories as fictional fables with a moral. The little Bible verse at the end was usually incomprehensible, so that was not exactly effective indoctrination. And the "God loves you very much" never came off as "you need to love him back."

(When the new series came out recently, I sat with one of my kids to watch it, both of us happily expectant. We turned it off within minutes. It was awful.)

It actually has some clever writers and has great comedic timing. As for the Christian stuff it's pretty okay. Most of the time children's Christian media has to suffer at the expense of getting some shitty Bible story told. VeggieTales manages to actually make it work though.

It's fun but if you want to actually learn about what Christians believe then you shouldn't be watching cartoons.

No they really aren't, the actual midwest has a shit ton of christian enclaves that really do go full cult. Hell that's where they keep all the "pray away the sin" camps and shit still for the most part too, you know, the ones where parents can basically have some motherfuckers straight up abduct their kids and keep them locked up there until they're "fixed" and in reality they just get mentally/emotionally tortured and physically abused but that's good enough for long gone fundie moms and pops.

Speaking of Skillet, holy shit their last album was bad. Worst of 2016.
I still like Collide and Comatose, and Rise was okay, but god damn Unleashed was bad.

You can't say everyone has a water buffalo when everyone most certainly does not have a Water Buffalo! We're going to get nasty letters saying "Where's my Water Buffalo?" "Why don't I have a Water Buffalo?" and are you prepared to deal with that? I don't think so! So stop. being. so. SILLY!

Honestly you don't have to go that far, the level of intensity varies from variation to variation of Christianity. I grew up in a Seventh Day Adventist family in New York where we took the faith pretty seriously.

If someone at BARE MINIMUM is forcing you to go to the same place every week and recite the same words well before you can fully understand them while promising you that your soul salvation is on the line if you don't say them and live a certain way of life they are indoctrinating you. You can argue whether it's good or bad, but it sure as hell is happening.

The problem is that the zealots focus more on the religious message than making a good product, where in reality the only thing the people they're trying to reach out to care about is the quality of the product itself.
The quality of the entertainment must be just as good as the message if it ever hopes to accomplish anything.

And Oklahoma is the Cousin Oliver of the United States, so who cares about what you think?
>>
>>91458553
No one fucking thinks that.

If people you're talking too rag on Christianity more than the other two, it's because it's the dominant world religion.

It is when you use buzz words like indoctrination and leaving it as escaping.

All I really remember about this show is that episode that was an allegory for Sodom and Gomorrah being destroyed

"Vegetable" can be used culinarily or scientifically. Culinarily, plants are defined as a vegetable mostly based on tradition. Scientifically, all plant matter is vegetable, including fruits, nuts, and grains.

In either case, tomatoes, cucumber, and squash can be called a vegetable.

I watched these when I was a good little Christian kid, and now I'm a gay heathen, so they didn't work very well.

Let me just say, despite a religious upbringing, I never force my religion on others and am totally down if you are an Atheist, or literally anything you want to be.

People often forget that religion or non-religion based groups are not inherently "bad", just the extremists follow that suit, much akin to how races are simply races, yet racists see what some extremists do and then go on to label the entire race as bad because of it.

Veggie Tales actually taught me some of that from an early age, and to be honest, I did not even know that Veggie Tales was trying to spread a message of religion when I was a kid, as I took away the morale context away from the series, more so than the biblical message itself, and I feel as if there were many kids that fell into that category.

So, if I could go back and remove any message of religion from the series, would I do it? Out of curiosity, yes, HOWEVER, I feel like the best method would simply be to have a version of Veggie Tales with the Religious references, and then make an exact replica, except take out the Religious references.

It would not be hard to do, would give more people more options, and could help introduce Veggie Tales to families of all kinds, not just those that bought it due to the whole "Well, the bible is mentioned, so it must be a good influence on my kids" mindset.

Could be a cool case study, and if it never happens officially, then maybe some video editor out there will eventually do something like that to the series.

This is surprisingly civil for a thread with religious content. Relative to other places on the internet of course.

And people made fun of VeggieTales for being a Christian show.
Niggas done got shoved into a fucking oven, yo. And then that Nigga K. Nezzar just fucking laughed while these young punks roasted to death like stir fry.

It's the only religious cartoon I can think of that wasn't complete dog shit.

It's not like any of the kids cared about the Christian messages, we just liked the fun songs and talking vegetables.

It's kinda weird isn't it? I wasn't expecting this level of civility.

Thats not a fucking argument and fuck anyone retarded enough to use it

Lol, I never watched Veggie Tales as a kid. But my exgf last year got some heavy nostalgia for it and made me watch this episode.
I didn't know the bible story, as I wasn't raised with any religion. Goddamn was it weird.

Kek. F ya'll Cerebal Palsy mofos. You'll never relate to the Lamb

>>91457759
This is why we need to let Kids decide if they want to follow a religion. "They" are afraid to tell the whole truths. They don't tell you the dark side of the person they're supposed to blindly follow.
>what does "don't commit adultry" mean

Crap I think I mixed that last one up. I meant the Noah Story, the Moses Story, Sodom and Gommorrah and Gog and Magog.

“And Lot's wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human. So she was turned into a pillar of salt. So it goes.”

Goddamn it was fantastic how faithful they stuck to the bible story in Jonah, in the sense that it was anticlimatic as fuck. Main hero learns his lesson and everything ends in a happy note? Fuck no. He wishes death on the entire city he was obligated to save and winds up pathetically alone in the middle of the desert. Fantastic.

This. I liked veggie tales growing up, it wasn't until I was older that I developed a bitterness towards Veggie Tales and all the other shitty Christian media due to missing out on stuff like Harry Potter.
>>
>>91447865
I never even remember Veggie Tales doing anything past Old Testament; I know it's evangelical but I don't remember vegJesus.

Jews secretly run all media.
Muslims get killed for trying to draw their own religious figures.
The asian religions get all their religious figures turned into cute little girls in anime.

Does anyone remember Messed Up Bible Stories?

My Nan shut this crap down for me, because she thought it wasn't Christian.
