  All right, where is everyone? We meet at the same time every
• 0:08
  day of the week and still they're late.
• 0:16
  Am I late? Is the Hulk green?
• 0:20
  Of course. You're late.
• 0:21
  Where's everyone else? Not coming, What?
• 0:24
  Do you mean not coming? Why not?
• 0:27
  Well, Snake was in the middle of shedding his old skin, Jezebel
• 0:31
  got bit by another dog and Farrell was getting his body
• 0:34
  wrapped again. So it's just me and you again,
• 0:39
  OK, What's the latest on God's Savior?
• 0:42
  Well, Isaiah prophesied something last week that I think
• 0:46
  you might find interesting. He said something about a virgin
• 0:51
  giving birth to a son. His name will be Emmanuel, which
• 0:55
  means God with us. That's impossible.
• 0:58
  Virgins can't have babies. They have to get married and,
• 1:01
  well, you know. Anyway, Isaiah really missed it
• 1:05
  this time. He's obviously been eating too
• 1:08
  many pepperoni bagels late at night.
• 1:11
  Yeah, you're probably right master.
• 1:14
  You've never been wrong before. What are you trying to say,
• 1:17
  Damon? Just come right out and say it.
• 1:21
  You won't hit. Me.
• 1:23
  Of course not. This is a board meeting.
• 1:25
  Board meetings are for speaking up and saying what's on your
• 1:29
  mind. Oh.
• 1:30
  I thought they were called board meetings because everyone is
• 1:33
  bored at these meetings. That's why they don't come.
• 1:35
  You know, you're boring. Boats.
• 1:40
  I thought you said you weren't going to hit me.
• 1:43
  I lie Now tell me what you think about Isaiah's prophecy before I
• 1:48
  hit you again. Isaiah is a prophet of God, and
• 1:52
  he's never been wrong before. I think there may be something
• 1:55
  to this virgin thing. If you kill me, it would take a
• 1:59
  miracle for a virgin to have a baby.
• 2:05
  Oh, what am I laughing at? I believe in miracles.
• 2:09
  I don't like them, but I believe in them.
• 2:11
  We've got to stop this from happening.
• 2:14
  Would anyone like to volunteer to head up a task force to
• 2:17
  prevent the virgin birth of the Savior?
• 2:20
  Who? Are you talking to I'm the only?
• 2:24
  Oh, I guess I will. Very good, Damon.
• 2:27
  Now remember, the key to keeping the promises of God from
• 2:30
  happening is to keep people from believing them and speaking
• 2:35
  them. Believing and speaking is faith
• 2:37
  in action. I hate faith, Damon.
• 2:40
  Faith is their victory. What you're really saying is,
• 2:44
  number one, I have to keep people from believing that God
• 2:47
  is telling the truth and number. 2.
• 2:50
  I have to keep them from praying in agreement with the truth.
• 2:53
  Yeah, that about sums it up. Can you handle it?
• 2:57
  Do I have a choice? My only problem is how do I keep
• 3:01
  people who already believe in God's word from believing God's
• 3:05
  word? It's OK if they believe God's
• 3:08
  word. As long as they don't speak
• 3:10
  God's promises out of their mouths, they're too good to be
• 3:14
  true. That's it.
• 3:16
  Convince them that God's promises are too good to be true
• 3:20
  so they won't believe them when they pray.
• 3:23
  This meeting is now adjourned. Another great meeting.
• 3:27
  I'm the greatest. This will be the last time I
• 3:31
  ever point out a problem. I always get stuck doing all the
• 3:35
  work. Damon, you're back.
• 3:50
  What is it? The bug?
• 3:51
  I hate bugs. Get it?
• 3:53
  Off there's no bug. I meant you've returned.
• 3:57
  You mean I had a choice? Just tell me what in heaven is
• 4:01
  going on up there. Master, I have some good.
• 4:04
  News. And some bad news.
• 4:07
  Start with the bad news. There was an Angel concert
• 4:11
  tonight. An Angel concert God has a
• 4:14
  rock'n'roll band. It wasn't really rock'n'roll.
• 4:18
  It was more like a choir recital.
• 4:20
  Singing angels? That can't be good, which is why
• 4:24
  it's bad news. Where was the concert?
• 4:27
  Please don't say Jerusalem. You was out in the fields near
• 4:30
  Bethlehem. Bethlehem.
• 4:32
  That dump of a town? Yes, that's good news.
• 4:36
  No, that's not the good news. But get this, The only ones that
• 4:40
  heard the angels singing were a bunch of homeless shepherds.
• 4:44
  Talk about the scum of the Earth.
• 4:46
  Now that's good news. Now that's not the good news
• 4:49
  either. You're kidding.
• 4:50
  All this time I've been worried about the Savior being born in
• 4:53
  Jerusalem any day now, and you tell me angels are singing in
• 4:57
  Bethlehem. That's good news.
• 4:59
  And if I were going to send angels to announce the birth of
• 5:02
  someone that special, I would send them to every rich and
• 5:06
  powerful person on the earth. But you tell me they went to a
• 5:09
  bunch of homeless shepherds working the night shift.
• 5:12
  That's good news. So whatever has been going on up
• 5:16
  in heaven, it's not about a savior being born in Jerusalem,
• 5:19
  am I right? Well, technically, yes.
• 5:23
  See, I say that's all good news. But you say that's not the good
• 5:27
  news. So I am on pins and needles with
• 5:30
  excitement waiting to hear the good news.
• 5:34
  I don't see any pins and needles.
• 5:36
  It's just an expression. Tell me the good news.
• 5:40
  Christ Child was born tonight. What?
• 5:43
  It's true. That's what the Angel told the
• 5:46
  shepherds, he said. I bring you good news of great
• 5:50
  joy tonight. In the city of David, a savior
• 5:54
  is born. What's the City of David?
• 5:57
  I have no idea, but the shepherds were talking about
• 6:00
  going there right after the concert.
• 6:02
  Did you follow them? No, I came here to tell you the
• 6:05
  good news. That's not good news.
• 6:09
  That's more bad news. But the Angel said.
• 6:12
  I don't care what the Angel said.
• 6:16
  Why shepherds? The answer has to be there.
• 6:19
  Think why shepherds? Maybe a lamb was born.
• 6:24
  Maybe savior means lamb. That would make sense that God
• 6:29
  would tell the shepherds about a lamb being born.
• 6:33
  Come on, let's go to Bethlehem and find those shepherds.
• 6:36
  What do they look like? People.
• 6:38
  Everyone on Earth looks like people because they are people.
• 6:43
  How are we going to find them? They'll be easy to spot.
• 6:47
  Nobody will be anywhere near them.
• 6:49
  They smell like a stable. I knew it.
• 7:03
  I knew it. The Savior has come.
• 7:06
  I told you Bethlehem was the place.
• 7:08
  But no, you insisted it had to be Jerusalem.
• 7:12
  But master, you're the one that insisted on Jerusalem.
• 7:16
  Are you calling me a liar? I would never call you a liar.
• 7:22
  It may be in the Bible someday, but I would never call you a
• 7:26
  liar. Where are those scouts?
• 7:28
  Why haven't we heard back from them?
• 7:31
  Scouts. You mean those Girl Scouts that
• 7:33
  sell the cookies door to door? They don't usually come down our
• 7:37
  street. Not the Girl Scouts.
• 7:39
  The Demon Scouts, the ones that are out spying on Earth, the
• 7:44
  ones that discovered the savior, was born in Bethlehem.
• 7:47
  All them. There's a team of angels in
• 7:50
  Bethlehem again, so they're waiting in Jerusalem with Herod,
• 7:54
  where it's safe until those 3 Eastern guys return.
• 7:57
  Eastern guys. The ones that we overheard
• 8:00
  talking about the king of the Jews being born, they're wise
• 8:04
  men from the East. They were following some star.
• 8:07
  A star? What kind of wise men follow a
• 8:11
  star? I don't know, but they said
• 8:15
  they've been following the star so they could worship the Christ
• 8:18
  child. They said it first appeared
• 8:20
  about two years ago. That's dedication.
• 8:23
  Don't you think so, Master? They've been trying to find this
• 8:26
  place for two years. I guess this is the season to
• 8:31
  worship God, huh? I guess this is.
• 8:33
  A changing the wake. Of God.
• 8:36
  Well, what's taking those wise guys so long?
• 8:39
  Yeah. Bethlehem was less than a day's
• 8:41
  journey away. They could have been there and
• 8:43
  back 10 times by now. Do you?
• 8:45
  Think they're lost? How could they be lost?
• 8:48
  Bethlehem's just a little ways down the road.
• 8:51
  Maybe they're not coming back. Do you think the angels might
• 8:56
  have warned him about us? You know you're not as dumb as
• 9:00
  you look. You're Dumber, of course, the
• 9:03
  angels warned them. What are we going to do?
• 9:06
  We're not going to do anything. You're going to find the Demon
• 9:10
  Scouts and have them get Herod to send his troops into
• 9:13
  Bethlehem to find the Christ child and kill him.
• 9:17
  Yes, Master. What's he look like?
• 9:23
  What's who look like the? Christ child.
• 9:26
  Oh, let me check that birth announcement that God sent me
• 9:29
  the night the Christ child was born.
• 9:31
  I'm pretty sure it had a baby picture.
• 9:34
  If you got a birth. Announcement from God, How could
• 9:38
  you just now learn that the Christ child was born?
• 9:41
  Because I didn't get a card from God, how am I supposed to know
• 9:46
  what he looks like? So what do I do?
• 9:48
  Just do your job. I don't care if they kill every
• 9:53
  boy in Bethlehem. Just make sure he's dead.
• 9:56
  Well, OK.
