Mocking Theism

I came across this video from the Makers of the shows Family Guy and American Dad. It's irreverent and maybe even offensive to people like me who believe that the universe was purposely designed and not haphazardly evolved. For this reason, I'd classify it as not just anti-Christian but also anti-Theistic. Theism is the belief that there really does exist a God. However the mocking of Jesus dying for us is a swipe of Christianity. If you are offended by this video, then I apologize. I'm not posting it because I agree with it, but because it reminds us of the mindset, attitudes, and thoughts that we are up against. It is an awesome opportunity to do Apologetics. This video show Seth McFarlane's worldview. What does God have to say about it? What do you have to say?



Here are the three points and objections raised in the video:
1. Evolution means that we evolved from other animals, and Christianity say that God made us
2. How do we know God is a monkey?
3. How do we know God loves us?

The video shows a little boy coming to his father and asking legitimate questions. The humor is supposed to come from the characters being monkeys giving "religious" answers to good relevant questions. The answers are stock "religious" dogma that does not really answer anything and makes Christians sound like there is no reason why we believe what we believe. No where in the Bible does God entirely equate himself to be like us. It's like asking, "How do we know God is human?". To answer this you have to study what the Bible teaches about God's nature and identity.

The monkey is right. We know that God loves us because of Jesus' died for us redeeming us from sin and total death. It's just tossed out there, like only a moron would except it. However there are good reasons to accept this. You don't have to take the assertion at face value. You can research it for yourself.

Evolution does not answer some major questions. Like where does self-awareness and consciousness come from? Where does art come from. Did it evolve how? The Bible however does give an answer. It says that we were created in God's image. We make art because God is creative. We are self-aware because God made us so. There is no explanation for how the electrical impulse in a human brain give rise to personality or consciousness.
