No way is this comment stream open, it was moderated and used to further the propaganda aims. The whole thing looks pretty well planned and utterly dishonest and as someone who has actually read and studied the Bible I have to say that Jesus bloke comes out (!) fairly strongly against lying.

I missed the video the first time around before it was removed - but seeing it now was painful. The spate of newly registered user commenting has the scent of astroturf, though it could be a small campaign I guess, similar to 'Freeps' or Megaphone usage.Ugly, though thankfully a mockery was made of it.
