How NOT To Spread the Gospel: Epic Fail
I thought long and hard about presenting this here on the CF knowing how things are often misconstrued. This particular case was truly coercion injected with a little "new age" attempt at making her feel Jesus' presence. Yikes!~ And I'm not sure if people are aware of this which was first released August 1, 2009 on Youtube, but it's the dumbest attempt ever at presenting the gospel story. There is a lot of speculation as to whether this was a joke or not. I've seen her other videos and with her demeanor etc., I really do not think she's got the brilliance to pull it off as satire. She doesn't even blink with her opening statement. It is racist.
So, here's my question. How do YOU present the gospel to people of other faiths? And here's the vid. You will cringe...and I know these two are h.s. students. It's just that these opinions stem from the parents, backed up by their church environment (G-d help us all). They meant well, but oh well. I can feel Jesus cringing:

Lastly, if you know for cetain this was confirmed a joke, please provide the source. I truly do not think it is and this is why, I've experienced this first-hand. And has anyone christian ever experienced something similar with another who feels they don't know G-d because they are Black? My focus here is the infused racism. I've seen it with me own eyes several times.
Prime example for today, Caucasian methodist teacher at a catholic school who calls every single Black child by the same name lolol! L-rd knows how she refers to the Asian kids. She plays the piano for the school mass as well (music teacher) but she's clueless as to how to respect the RCC and it's congregants. For children's music?
"Jesus loves the Indian boy, bow and arrow for his toy, big Filipino, little Chinese, Jesus died for all of these." Whuh??? She sux, period. She used to stare at us in services. Eh.
How does one say, "epic fail!" As a child, I distinctly remember someone telling me that Jesus loved me, even if I were Black and if I realized that G-d existed and that He loved me. Whuh???? Well, geez, through your prime example, nope. LOLOL

And I've had to tell folks things like this at times. There's a mistake presenting the gospel and how it's changed your own life, then there's absolute ignorance, stupidity and racism (not a christian value) and coercion/proselytization. I *have* encountered people like this and they were much older. 
I disagree with the ignorance thing, tho...I'm not into coercion at all
