YouTube Calls Bible "Hate Speech"

Jesse Morrell of Open Air Outreach had a YouTube account. He uploaded over 500 videos of public gospel-sharing (mostly on university campuses across the United States) over two years. How did YouTube respond?

They deleted the account, calling the Bible “hate speech”!

Does this look like “hate speech” to you?

Mr. Morrell says:

My new sandwich board has a warning to a list of sinners on one side. This is very useful for discussions on universities. The other sides say, “The blood Shed of Jesus Christ substitutes Hell Fire for sinners”, “Jesus Christ Died For You because You Deserve Hell”, and “Follow Jesus, Stop Sinning, He that sinneth is of the devil”.

In his latest newsletter, Morrell explains how YouTube has persecuted him:

Dear Friends,

For two years I have had an account on YouTube (www.YouTube.com/user/JesseMorrell) and was able to upload over 500 videos of sermons and open air preaching. Just this week YouTube deleted my entire account, calling some of the videos “hate speech”!!! It is a sad day in America when preaching the truth of the Bible, out of love, is considered “hate speech”.

We agree, Jesse Morrell!

Jesse has started two new accounts on YouTube:

www.YouTube.com/OpenAirOutreach is going to be used for open air videos.

www.YouTube.com/BibleTheology is going to be used for sermons and teachings.

We’ve already “friended” these accounts and subscribed, eager to see what sort of witnessing Mr. Morrell will come up with next!

If you think YouTube is discriminatory, read this article about Digg!

[adsense:]

Andrew Barker embodies the average Digg user: a white male in his 20s, tech savvy, with a sense of humor that often pushes boundaries into the taboo. You can find him browsing the social news website a couple times a day, but you won’t see him at a church, synagogue or mosque.

The 27-year-old from Mishawaka, Ind., abandoned organized religion long ago and now describes himself as agnostic. For him, time spent in the house of Digg is not unlike a Sunday church gathering. Groups of like-minded individuals share gossip and stories, and they discuss such topics as politics, sports and, yes, even religion.

But you won’t find many links to Bible studies on the front page of Digg — unless it’s about the absurdity of taking Scripture literally. A 2-year-old survey of Digg users showed a significant concentration of atheists and agnostics. Because Digg’s content is submitted and voted on by the users, the stories promoted to the website’s homepage reflect the audience.

Poking fun at evangelical Christians, Catholics, creationists, the image of Jesus Christ and, well, anything remotely associated with religion is commonplace on the website.

A far better alternative is the Christian version, Http://www.diggChrist.com. Give it a try, and pray for the persecuting Hellbound God-mockers at Digg and YouTube.

You know we are!
