This is equal parts surreal, terrifying, and flat out hilarious. Not only does it pretty much sum up the ridiculousness of the Evangelical movement in general -- as Cesca says, this kid could be just about any right wing radio, cable or internet howler right about now.
I honestly challenge you to watch this without your eyes widening and your mouth involuntarily hanging open.

It's Glenn Beck's mini-me!
Honestly, he makes about as much sense as the rest of that bunch. Teach a dog a new trick...
That kid, he been touched by da lawd........
"Reach out, brother! Reach out!"
Absolutely hilarifying.
I know I should be terrified but the flat-out hilarious part is just too powerful.
Is that the second coming, baby gibberish grunted out in the rousing style of the church's preacher, or is the toddler working on a big dump in his diapers? Always worried about the impending cleanup when the girls started a grunting like that.
You're just jealous cuz Inara's not preachin' to the faithful yet!
The kid reminds me of Sam Kinison.
But, honestly, most church sermons are like that -- to hear the congregation "praise jesus!" and "hallelujah!" to a toddler screaming into a microphone is just more proof that it doesn't matter what's being said... oh, you already said that. :D
i lost your challenge
I mean wtf? Don't "they" know how incredibly deviant and sick this makes them look? This makes the cults of the 70's look rather tame, doesn't it?
Can a new Children's Crusade be far behind?
I think the GOP has found its leader.
"Ahhh Zaaa! Ahhh Zaaa! Ahhh Zaaa! Burble Burble Burble."
Makes as much sense as the adult preachers.
Children are masters of mimicry. That kid sounds like another Marjoe.
That's scarier than a giant cheetoh.
If I were his nanny, I'd stay away from his fifth birthday party.
At least there's now video proof that Barack Obama is not the Anti-Christ.
I actually thought the kid made some pretty good points... At least he made more sense than his dad.
The idea that the grownups can't tell this kid is mocking them is pretty hilarious.
WTF Chez, seriously. What baby did you steal and how did you manage to convince anyone this was real? And seriously, what do you pay for cable? There has got to be something more than the rightwing nut channel and the History Channel on for you to expose this baby to.
Seriously. I got flashes of a miniature bald Hitler while this kid was sermonizing. I don't understand German, so it was pretty much the same thing. Yeah, I know, I godwinned your post, but it's a legitimate question.
I'd say the kid is doing a dead-on replication of what he sees every Sunday in a very humorous manner. He will probably end up as:
* charismatic preacher
* terrific stand-up comic
* a typical politician
My gut is saying "comic," but that could just be wishful thinking on my part.
when my friend's kids acted like that in church they were asked to take the kid to the nursery and change their diapers.
I'm sure he's already stealing cookies from Sunday school and blaming it on "those thieving liberals".
well i think the kid channeled the Devil really well.
jesus be damned!
@ Cpt Clown: I rather share DragonIV's opinion, though I'd put it even more bluntly: "the kid is doing a dead-on replication of what he sees every Sunday".
This clip only makes me sad. I've seen child preachers before..screaming, pacing, arrogant, totally clueless as to what they're actually saying. This is not cute or funny even in a sardonic way..It's child abuse. Don't take this as a knee-jerk reaction..This baby is being exploited and paraded around. This isn't enthusiasm or spiritual testifying; it's manipulative and ultimately damaging.
My favorite part of this by far is the peanut gallery saying:
"I don't know what he is saying, but Jesus knows"
Just off the wall ridiculous.
KLS --
You're right on all counts. But you just can't save everyone. Sometimes you have to surrender and just sit back and laugh at the human flotsam.
Isn't scary how many preachers use Hitler's cadence and body language? And now we get the "Fundy Baby Children's Hour." Swell.
ANd these people are proud of this?
I'll bet if you play it backwards the kid is praising satan.
drater>>>WIN!
