For what it's worth they said once that they find it fun y when people take it seriously and get upset, like it validates the criticism their satire set out to make. Granted, that was 10 years ago but I'd like to think they feel the same. I wish they would've gone on to make more content, I'd be really interested in seeing where they are now, and what they think about those old videos. "Going Green for God" is my personal favorite.
@@shrimpymcfatten1540 An obvious joke? It really wasn’t obvious to a lot of us because a lot of us have been affected by religion in a very similar non satire way. Maybe rephrase that “Ugh it Was Soooo obvious” because it comes off as smart arsey instead of criticism. I get the other criticisms but there are literal brain washing channels out there that do these thing for real with no satire attatched to them. Can you really blame us for thinking it was real?
if this video was actually satire it'd be cool to do a follow-up about their channel since they've got other really crazy videos? to clear their names and because it'd be entertaining
@@Soapcookies oh yeah no, straight up. It's immensely soul-crushing hearing some be that confident with their ignorance, I think we've all believed our side of things a bit too much at one point or another but hopefully never to this extent. I just home the two girls tryna convert their friend have grown to be better since this 😭😭
@@HamiltonIsLife black as well, heard the same thing regarding my noes. Which is strange since a broad noes isn't necessarily just a feature in black people, one of my white friends growing up had a bit of a broader noes, but oh well 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
As an indian, ive faced the whole "but you aren't light skinned nor do you have sharp eyes!!" my whole life in school, with a sprinkle of "eww what is that stinky food!" Istg what rarely gets talked about is the assumption that asia is just east asia.
«The cross wasn’t the only thing that was hung» made me subscribe to you. Some of the funniest shit I’ve ever heard! Loved your energies throughout the vid, but that bit killed me!
As a lifelong atheist who grew up in the US, I had sooo many conversations like this with other children in school and life in my childhood. The most common question when I said I don't believe in any gods was "what keeps you from stealing and killing people?". It's alarming to think so many of my peers thought the only thing stopping them from killing each other was their religion..
fr mfs really think i don’t have a moral compass just because there’s no god in my life 😭 like you do you honey but some of us are just better off without a sky daddy 💀💀
I find it so surreal how Saraa was literally just explaining basic geography and the other girls were acting like she was crazy... I have no words what in the Kentucky did I just watch
Saraa is a fucking queen omg, she handled this absolutely amazingly. I’m genuinely so proud of her for holding her own, and the way she just got up and left at the end is absolutely iconic. We stan
She handled them with the sort of grace we should expect from public figures, especially those in power. I hope she's made her way well up the ranks of whatever career she's chosen.
I'm Jewish and I cannot tell you how many times i had conversations like this growing up. It was deeply aggravating. I can't even imagine how much worse it was for poc students.
as a Jewish guy I feel you on this one, but yeah from what little I was able to see around school middle eastern & south Asian students were constantly hassled and put down
Tbf a lot of people with longer names, use a shorter nickname. Also some cultures barely ever use people's first name and use relationship terms instead, so when in a culture where people use first names, they choose to change it. It isn't always just to make life easier for white people. I know that isn't India specifically, but a lot of Indian people shorten their names in India too. I mean a lot of people called Robert, will only go by Rob, or Elizabeths often go by Liz. It happens in most cultures.
@@punkybrewstar83 Indian here- wanna drop in and say that nicknames may have little to no correlation with legal first names- someone named Debashish can go by Babul and no one will bat an eye about it
I, a brown person, was adopted by white people and I grew up around kids like this. Now as an adult I converted to Islam and my Christian family cannot comprehend… when I tell you this video has me switching back and forth between rage and amusement so fast it’s giving me whiplash. Could not survive this cringe without you two 🙏🏽
@@jamstahjam what? The mom says she spent a bit too long in the “oven” which is why she looks different. It’s not a bad joke if the adopted kid thinks it’s funny
@jaydengarcia close minded and ignorant for sure, but I feel like there was no actual *hatred* here. Just a lack of understanding and consideration of how different other people's lives and beliefs may be.
@@jaydengarcia I was raised in a Christian church and it really indoctrinates you and warps your mind. I was lucky to come to a realization once I was a teenager and leave. These kids are raised to think this way and genuinely don’t realize what they are doing, I used to think this way too. Its awful
my brain went 100% instantly when i saw the box “oh hell yeah cookie crisp” but when i googled it i had doubts, i no longer have doubts, thank you for this confirmation
I feel so fricken bad for Saraswati, as an Indian. But at the same time I have crazy respect for her, for getting through this. I mean I’ve lived in India my whole life so I can’t imagine moving to a new country and be treated this way. And I am sure, like Gabi said, it’s not just a one time thing.
@@Leftistbreakfist I hope so cause they don't seem old enough to have meta thoughts such as doing a believable dry skit about how middle America perceives Indians...js
I can relate to Saraa so much, my Christian friend once tried to explain Christianity to me for FOUR HOURS. My little hippy brain could not comprehend it. Looking back she was just spewing what the adults in her life had told her, but at the time I did not handle the situation as well as Saraa
Bruh I literally told my friend that kept trying to convert me during high school that if all she was going to talk about is religion she could stfu 😅 "You're lost, I'm trying to save you" No, I have my path- it's just not in the "main" road. We get along fine now, she knows better than to bring it up around me now😆
Me too. To make myself feel better I remember the respectably brutal yet justified ass beating that Europeans got when it was time for India and several African nations to become independent. 💪🏾
I'm from Kentucky and actually graduated in 2009 and my junior year I and two other classmates spent an entire class period one time trying to explain to another classmate of ours that all Chinese people are Asian but not all Asian people are Chinese. And she never really got the concept. The idea that Russia and parts of the Middle East are considered Asia was really mind-boggling for her. That conversation still haunts me lol
I am also from Kentucky and just 3 years ago me and my Japanese friend had to explain to a white man that Japan is infact part of Asia despite it being an island 😭😭 he was telling my friend that she wasn't Asian she was Japanese
Hello I’m an Asian from Kentucky! I’m half Filipino specifically, and I’ve had so many conversations like this. I was like 8 tryna explain geography to kids 😭
my best friend in catholic high school was the valedictorian and raised in hindu tradition, but was a young man of science and an atheist, and gradually, very slowly over the years, de-programmed me out of theism altogether, at a time when i initially wanted to be a priest. i slowly grew to notice all the bullshit he went through at my school and began to love his unique way of trolling proselytizers. i chose a musician life and he chose a scientist life, so we grew apart over the years but i hope he's kicking ass and knows how grateful i am for him opening my eyes. this video takes me back to what it was like for him all the time
That poor girl though, i feel so horrible for her! That feeling of people treating you like your this abnormal being just because your not white, is honestly so disheartening and offensive! As a brown person living in a predominantly white country, I have experienced people acting like I’m this being from out of the world and it made so embarrassed of my culture (when I was younger, thank god I got over that stage of my life and now I embrace my culture completely)
Just so awful. It’s so simple to accept everyone as they are - instead of trying to CONVERT people, why don’t you try to understand their religion and keep your mind open? It’s that simple and it’ll have so many better results.
She seems so self assured and knowledgable so I hope this interaction wasnt difficult for her, and after she got new and better friends. Those girls couldnt even be racist correctly 💀
The conversation these girls are having with their "friend" is a perfect picture of how most adults think today. Most people just cant understand why or how someone could live a different way then they do. And somehow, that's wrong.
Totally. My experience was different but it was basically along the same vein. I am from Asia (third world country) but studied abroad in another Asian (developed) country and there is the same attitude too. Mostly colourism and being looked down for coming from a poor country. Since people from the same continent can't even try to understand each other, it's no surprise people who are ocean apart would would have trouble looking pass the differences.
My best friend growing up was indian. I never even THOUGHT about her anything like these girls. I was so interested in learning about her culture and way of life. I was Christian growing up and i would ask her about Hinduism and we would tell eachother about our theologies. Idk if its because im half latina but i was always more interested in learning about others. And my mother put a huge emphasis on respecting other people especially in their homes and when eating their food. I never saw her as weird or other.
SAME HERE. I might be white as hell, but I've also grown up with a lot of Mexican friends. One of which being my best friend since middle school who lives in a very traditional house with her mother who's also religious. And sure, the sheer amount of Jesus dolls in their house was more than a little jarring at first(mostly because I had a mild fear of dolls in middle school) but it was never anything that I felt was "wrong" or needed to be changed. Same thing with all other cultural practices. Learning about other cultures and traditions has always been a privilege, especially being able to be invited into a space that reflects that so heavily. I could NEVER imagine disrespecting someone like that so openly for something that makes them so unique.
I had to deal with this conversion shit growing up. 7 years old, told I couldn't be friends with someone because "My parents won't want me being friends with a Jew. You killed Jesus and we love Jesus." Interrogated about whether or not I believe in Jesus and how Jesus plays into Judaism (including by an employer), a so-called friend setting the ultimatum that I convert or we aren't friends anymore because she wants to see me in Heaven someday , INSANELY stupid questions... I cannot *imagine* dealing with all of that PLUS the racial aspects. The religion part is hard enough, but to straight up be told that you're wrong about what race you are, to be generalized and dumbed down, is infuriatinggg.
believes that a Jew is the saviour of humanity… also doesn’t want to hang out with Jews. Also for some reason thinks that the Jews killed Jesus? Man these kids need Jes- uh an education.
I don’t even tell strangers I’m Jewish anymore lol. I pretend to be a nice Catholic boy cause I’ve been surrounded by the culture and mannerisms for more than enough to mimic them. In the past I’ve had strangers figure out I’m Jewish and then suddenly their whole demeanor changes like they just shit their pants. Can’t imagine how it is being visibly identifiable. Not being able to “pretend” sounds hard as fuck
This channel is one of the OG troll channels of RUclips. They go on to take her to church, baptize her, debate people online... and it's all a pretty brilliant troll for its time.
Any more info on this? I remember these 240p poorly lit comedy skits being what everyone and their younger brother was doing around the time this was made. The cringe is so bad it hides it pretty well, but some of the interactions seemed kinda stiff and acted. I thought I might be getting those vibes, so I came down here specifically to see if anyone else thought so too. edit: checked out the rest of the channel and yeah, I'm pretty sure you're right and this is almost certainly a troll. no one got it ten years ago, either
I remember seeing this back in the day and it was clearly some well staged satire. If I remember correctly they even had a prominent satirists name in the tags.
So it's really hard to tell, but this is actually satire. These girls are making these videos on purpose, and the other videos get wild. I highly recommend checking them out, and I'm only bummed we didn't get more. It's a pretty scathing take on religious thinking and pretty on point. They all did an interview once, a long time ago. They're all in on it.
@@genericname8727 I get that by this video alone it's hard to tell, but it's actually part of a series that's pretty hilarious. I discovered them years ago and really wish they all would've kept posting. Grew up in a cult and they almost perfectly capture that type of thinking. Their other videos are even better, and if I remember one of them went on to make some more sketches years later.
@@gypsylee333 it's been so long I don't remember the channel name, and they blurred it because they didn't realize it was satire. I'll try to find it, but honestly it's probably been over 5 years since I last watched them.
as an india person im literally just internally sobbing but also laughing because gabi and annamarie actually make this video entertaining to watch lmaooo
I love that Saraa showed them that she just don't give a f about their opinions but in the most polite way possible. I hope she never let anyone get her down and keeps slaying to this day! I stan her.
As a theology teacher, Saraa is my new hero. I think I saw this video some time ago, but it was only enraging because I didn't see the conclusion. I still hate the sort of ideology and polemics within and the way they were weaponized by children against another child, but that "I have to go eat my rice" troll is PRICELESS. I hope her parents saw this - that is something to be proud of.
My parents both grew up religious and still believe in god but they don’t think church is a good way to show and practice that. So I grew up atheist my whole life and two of my friends couldn’t comprehend that I didn’t go to church and kept asking “Surely you’ve gone once, what was the first letter in its name?” So at some point I just said “I’ve gone once it’s name started with a v“ (because v was the most random letter I could think of) and then they said “Oh the church of xyz” They knew the names of ALL the churches in our area, IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
Those girls asking "why are you dark skinned if you're Asian" gave me flashbacks of the white girls at my school asking me "why are you light skinned if you're Mexican"
something similar happened to me. I'm half white half black, on the white side it's mainly Irish. this man did not believe me because I have dark skin and the only thing that made me Irish were my freckles
'If you're from Africa... why are you white...?' ' OH MY GOSH KAREN! YOU CAN'T JUST ASK PEOPLE WHY THEY ARE WHITE!' I am disheartened how this is apparently accurate to real life 😭 edit: just learned that the girls Gabi was reacting to were doing a skit on oblivious racists
yeah im half puerto rican and half white, and puerto ricans have lighter skin already, but whenever i say im hispanic its always “oh you dont look mexican”
How do you think Afro-Mexicans of any shade/darker-skinned Mestizos feel lol (Colorism and featurism are deeply entrenched into Mexican culture is what I'm saying. Not to dismiss you or the annoyance/inconvenience experienced from ignorance. Mexico has a multi-racial history and people unaware of that fact will racialize/impose racial groups to try to make sense of what they don't understand.)
@@nah4437 🤣 Latino = Mexican I'm from Guatemala, but my mom is white as f*** (french), making me a light brown, we moved to Norway at age 8.... after 21 years I still get asked Them: "where are you from?"

Me: Latin America Them: "Oh, you don't look Mexican, I though you were from Pakistan" me who grew up in Norway, lived 2/3 of my life in Norway: (👁👄👁)👍🏾
Went to a Christian camp when I was younger and it was strange. I brought up pronouns and a counselor pulled me aside and told me to not talk about that, and I got pulled aside AGAIN by the same girl for joking about divorce. She tried to explain to me how it was just a social construct. I looked her dead in the eyes and told her so is marriage…She didn’t talk to me after that 🥰
Knowing now that it was all satire and trolling and seeing their other videos it really reminded me of how me and my friends sometimes cope with our religious upbringing living in very conservative catholic country by also acting like hyperbolic stereotypes of people that we grew up with that hate us and want us gone or converted. It is enraging behavior that makes us scared and frustrated but it is hilarious and kinda healing when you can satirize those behaviors making fun of these conservative baboons heh
In 12th grade, we were all introducing ourselves to the class on day 1 saying our names and hobbies, and this dude stood up and said, " My name is Araz, I'm Muslim, and my hobbies include video games and blowing up the twin towers.' The teacher didn't find it very funny but the rest of us did!
Absolutely! Imagine the convo beforehand, like "hey dude wanna talk about race in front of a camera, don't worry, I'll only degrade you and your culture!"
Because I’m pretty sure it’s planned and intended as satire. Even just the way it’s got a satisfying conclusion makes it feel like it was all deliberately done as satire. I can’t know for sure, but I’m pretty confident they were acting. Obviously there are people that ignorant though and that’s who I think they were satirising.
@@genericname8727 Dude it's 2009 and they're like 13. They probably wanted to record it to show their youth group that they tried to convert an Indian. So that they could all pray for their ex friend and get church clout. Have you ever been to a church? Pastors always pull out made up anecdotes about converting atheists and helping them find God. I think most people are aware it's generally made up so they probably tried to do that but recorded it to show that it happened.
@@yukikanegawa7470 they posted multiple other satire videos to their channel. There’s more to the series of trying to convert Sara too. It’s confirmed satire. I guess sometimes 13 year olds are pretty creative and clever. Trust me though I’m aware the kind of people the girls are parodying exist. I’ve had to deal with them personally. I’ve been told I have demons inside me and all that by a former-friend who tried to “convert” me in high school. I find the satire quite funny and relatable, but it is definitely satire.
@@yukikanegawa7470 channel name is YouLoveMolly. You can find their channel and more of their videos by just typing the video title from this thumbnail into RUclips search.
As an Indian, i can't tell you how funny this video was. This video just made me roll on the floor. Poor Saraa was just trying to explain basic geography and how not everyone believes in their religion. Props to Saraa for having so much patience with them. I grew up wanting to live in America and when i grew up and saw these videos i regretted wanting to go there so much. I'm not saying that it is a bad country but i really don't experience this irl. I'm so glad that i grew up other people who are from my own countries. This scares me tbh and i'm so glad that she just defended herself and her culture. Props to Saraa man, love from another Indian ♡
@@KoreyThatcher The channel is "YouLoveMolly" and her other videos really looks like a satire channel. She's either a brilliant satirist or just amazing at being unintentionally funny. If anything, Saraa is in her other videos and I highly doubt she would even continue to talk to them if they were honestly this insane
Yeah, I don't think it's satire lol, I grew up like this, I didn't know a single person who wasn't Christian, and I was taught that if I met someone who wasn't Christian, to try to convert them. Also, these girls probably aren't outliers in their community, Saraa probably didn't have a lot of other girls who would even talk to her, so she was probably stuck with these two
This video is definitely fake, their other videos on their channel are basically skits with these same characters. Still not far off from what a lot of people really experience though
It’s so crazy to see how all of us who are colored got treated so differently but all terribly in school. I’m Native American. Growing up I was called “Sacagawea” or “Pocahontas.” It was a fun guessing game for people to come up to me and say “What are you?” Around Thanksgiving was the worst. Everyone dressed up as us and made war bonnets, not realizing the cultural significance of what we wear. My people were just a costume to them. The boys who were Native always got bullied for having long hair and were always misgendered, not realizing the significance hair plays in our culture. When it came time to doing research that we’d have to present on famous people I always got Sacagawea so they could dress me up. The worst one though was when they taught us about the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889. Where white people, Sooners, fought over the land they took from us and claimed it as their own. My school did a weird mock of it where the kids got to run out and claim land for themselves that were all marked and separated. The kicker, they didn’t let me participate because I “wouldn’t have been allowed to back then…” Even though we are all from different backgrounds, we all got treated like “others.”
Thats actually so insane, im sorry you had to experience that. I dont know much about native American or indigenous cultures in general, but like all cultures, yours deserves to be respected. As a black person, i understand how strange cultural appropriation can feel and the casual racism that takes place in America. I hope you're doing well and that you know your culture is beautiful and should be taken seriously no matter what others may say.
Amen Saraa! I had a girl in high school do something similar to me. She asked me to tutor her in algebra, so I went over to her house on a weekend and she AND HER MOM launched into me. About how being gay is a sin, and that they love me but hate my sins, and that I should really turn my heart to Jesus. I noped outta there SO fast. I was flabbergasted. I knew she was Christian but I didn't know she would pull that unhinged shit!!
Seeing a child who understands there is no right or wrong when it comes to religion is so refreshing! I can’t imagine how frustrated and confused she must have been interacting with these narrow minded girls lol Like “why does it have to be one or the other? Why are you guys obsessed with right or wrong?” Just genuinely confused ab how small minded Americans are and can’t understand it, amazing
Them saying "So you... wanna go to hell?" Is just so telling. Sounds to me like the main reason they even believe is pure fear of going to hell. If it's scary enough why not believe in it anyway to be safe, right?
As a christian, whenever I see people like this I'm thinking what do they think the outcome of going and telling a person "you're entire belief system is wrong" is going to be? That just drives people away. Also, it's crazy how all of their talking points are surface level and they do not have any deeper or more nuanced understanding of their own belief system to actually be able to have a productive conversation with anyone about belief systems.
totally agree. this isn't what following Jesus looks like, this is kids regurgitating what their parents' say and parents who don't fully understand Jesus either.
It is a very surface level way of thinking, but these are literal children. I’m sure some adult in their life encouraged them to evangelize and this is their honest and incredibly bad effort. I was raised Lutheran and my dads family is Jewish, which are both faiths predicated on asking questions and critically analyzing your own faith, so maybe I’m too optimistic that kids like this would eventually go through the same reflection and uncertainty about their own faith. But hopefully they did, and they found Saraswati and apologized to her!
I was the first openly gay person in my town/school and I got dragged into these conversations a lot. And as a child I was always so polite and thought they are just worried about me, but now I'm like shut up Carol you are ruining religion for everybody.
The video was actually a really well done parody... It's not obvious from this video alone but they posted two follow up videos that were pretty obviously not serious.
If you believe this was a work, you played yourself. I remember when this video came out, and they were slammed!!! Even then… they released a follow up video claiming “it was all staged,” just to avoid anymore backlash. They were mitigating the damage they did to themselves. These two ignoramuses literally believed they were “saving” their friend. And thus, posted it on RUclips for their “youth group,” or some bullsht.
I obviously can’t talk for the Indians or any race other than Caucasian/white but as a nonbinary and lesbian teen (as well as a neurodivergent), I feel for Saraa in this situation. Having to explain basic human rights and empathy to another person is such a frustrating thing and it’s honestly exhausting most of the time.
Bless you and stay strong, as a fellow trans person I can tell you it can absolutely get better when you grow up and get to decide what to do, where to live and all of that. I'm so sorry you gotta put up with bs though.
“I’m Indian. India is in Asia.” - “I mean, you can believe what you want to believe.” At least now basically everyone has a smartphone and can pull out a map real quick to shut this down.
My grandparents have lived next door to an Indian couple since my mom was in her teens. When I first met them, it was 1992 and I was about 3. I think the second or third thing I said to them was, “so are you made of chocolate? Like are you chocolate people?”. Probably the nicest people in the world, but I get more embarrassed with age & damn do they still let me have it. First thing they say every time I make it over there. “Hey, still chocolate. Where’s your grandpa? I’m gonna melt out here.”
i’m pretty sure that this video is actually completely satire and ahead of its time. i don’t think that they would’ve recorded and posted this otherwise lol. anyway all hail saraa
1:40 is pretty much like saying "So yeah today i had a regular edition friend and a special premium limited time edition friend come over." Like GURL DID SHE COME IN A GOLD PACKAGE TOO 😭😭
"These are the kids of girls that would have bullied me in highschool for having hairy arms." I identify with this remark. Hairy arm brigade stand up!!!
@@minglou2019 Yes! Honestly. Why can't people just let people be hairy or not hairy. Ya know? I'll never understand how the amount of body hair a person has is supposed to be indicative of one's level of masulinity or femininity
As a gay and trans atheist, living in a VERY mormon conservative state, this is EXACTLY what people are like. I hears slurs everyday and racist/homophobic/misogynist comments. It's so bad. I have a Hispanic friend and HOLY SHIT the stories I hear are insane. People are so uneducated here it's genuinely unfathomable.
I'm so sorry u have to deal with that :( ur totally valid in ur sexuality and gender identity n I hope the community around u accepts that in time! U and ur friend deserve to live ur lives without being harassed 🫂💛
this is pretty representative of what it was like to be nonwhite kid in 2009 america lol. even though this stuff still def happens now, the degree of racial ignorance was def worse back then. i feel so bad for saraa but she handled it way better than i could and i hope she's doing well
14:47 Fun fact! The most used painting of Jesus was actually made by Leonardo Da Vinci, and the model was his gay boyfriend. Not really the most on topic thing but I thought it'd be funny to add!!
Just to give a loose background for this video they covered, this is from an era of youtube where a lot of channels were presented as vlog style channels, but were basically scripted shows or skits. Kind of like amateur The Office. While they are cringe, just remember it's all fake.
These two have so much chemistry in recording together I love it. It's the kind of content my friends and I think we could make successfully but only when we're zooted and confident xD
This reminds me of this time in college that my Hindu friend and I were talking to a classmate about winter break plans, and she was talking about working on Christmas. Our classmate was like “but it’s a holiday, why are you working?” And she told him “I’m Hindu, we don’t celebrate Christmas.” Our classmate was literally blubbering and in absolute shock. He kept asking what she celebrated on Christmas and absolutely couldn’t comprehend that she didn’t have an equivalent holiday.
Ughh I felt the struggle deep in my heart. I’m currently not religious, but the way my mom raised me is heavily influenced by the orthodox church (going to church every Sunday morning, I’m baptised, etc.). However, while most of the world lives by the Gregorian calendar, the Eastern Orthodox Church follows the Julian calendar when it comes to celebrations of any sort. And if you don’t know, the Julian calendar is 13 days behind, which means our Christmas falls on what is for the rest of the world 7th of January. Anyway, to sum it all up, people have hard time understanding why don’t I celebrate Christmas on 24th of December. And to make it worse, we don’t have a feast and give gifts like others do. We just go to church. Not quite the same experience as the Hindu girl, but pretty painful still.
After stalking the girls channel for a bit I'm pretty confident the video was just a skit, since saraa doesn't seem to have a problem appearing in a later, similar video like nothing happened What really is terrifying is that such conversations seem to be so common in the USA taht people find something so absurd completely believable
Hearing Christianity be described as a fandom and “not being a fan” had me DYING 😭😭 I recently transferred to a very Catholic high school and I’m struggling to adjust (since I’m not religious), thank you so much for this video lol
@@gilly_axolotl I’m honestly not sure. We wear uniforms and the dress code is very strict, and I’m taking a theology class that digs pretty deep into the Bible. It could just be me since I’ve been going to public school since 3rd grade so yikes lol
@@ashleypisarts ah I getcha. Didn't know if y'all still had nuns or something. Ahaha 😅 I did Catholic school k-12 so I got used to all that but it is a bit weird tbh
@@gilly_axolotl Ooooh We have one nun I think, and honestly I don’t understand how someone could devote their life to a religion that seriously, but it’s her life so lol
@@ashleypisarts lmao I agree. The funny thing about Catholic school is that people say the best way to make your kid an athiest is to put them through 12 years of Catholic schooling 😂. Hopefully your classmates are pretty chill
People used to try and convert me all the time growing up. This is a very accurate conversation. It's rough. The worst thing is that the other kids are convinced that you are going to hell and they feel like they have to save you or its their fault. It's such a weird position. For Saraa to handle this conversation so well with such dignity in a second language is truly amazing. Edit: if you think this is unusual, it's not. People used to tell my dad at our soccer games that he should leave my mom and us and marry a Christian woman and have children who could actually go to heaven with him. In front of all of us. While we were under the age of 10.
10:28 this gives me flashbacks to kids asking me if I, as a Jew, believe in Jesus, and also if "I even really believe in God." I feel Saraa's pain. Shit sucks. People also told me all the time I wasn't Jewish because "I don't look Jewish" which is a whole other thing (and I actually do "look jewish" anyway). And I live in New Jersey, where Jews live all over the place. Being Jewish in Ohio must be terrible, let alone being Indian in the US in 2009! 13:41 which is, ngl, literally how Christianity is. The trinity is three gods that are one god. That's what they are. They are not like the singular god of Judaism and Islam. edit: gabby talks about that literally like 5 seconds later lol.
As a former Christian I find trinitarianism so funny in retrospect, it's just a semantic trick to claim the monotheist label but also keeping Jesus as a deity
Even if you’re white with something else, you aren’t safe from assumptions. I’m white, Native, and Italian, but people still make some bold leaps guessing what you are so you can be categorized. These kids sadly aren’t far off from what I experienced in school because people would make a game out of guessing my race like I was Noel Miller. Even though I’d really just tell them if they asked, I hardly did because the opener was always “are you *insert ethnicity here*” instead of actually taking interest in my background. TL;DR: Assumption bad. If you’re curious about someone’s culture, you can ask without being gross.
I've met so many Christian missionaries in India who are just like this. They pay "poor" people money to convert. Happened to a few in my family. When I moved to the US, my friends and I were approached by some women who were trying to "spread the word of Jesus". Was hilarious cuz we flipped their script on them.
this is reminding me of that one quote (paraphrasing cause i dont remember) where a missionary spoke to a native american man and explained that if he didnt convert to xtianity then he would go to hell. the man asked the missionary if he would still go to hell if he didnt know xtianity existed and the missionary said no - "then why did you tell me"
@@Julia-tk2em It's fine. I am not that religious but basically there not hard and fast rules. There are hundreds of gods in Hinduism. There are many festivals. It's just good fun.
As a atheist living in the Bible Belt it’s almost impossible to explain my beliefs to teens my age without them making threats to me but some are understanding and those people I am so thankful for
I had a friend exactly like this as a kid and I remember I wasn't even allowed to say "heck" in front of her and we kinda stopped being friends bc of how religious and strict her parents were
I feel so bad for Saraa, oh man, the absolute blunt racism with full confidence that they think they're correct, just makes one physically recoil, like THIS is what people mean when they say psychic damage. Some people have said this is a troll channel, but like actual people hold these beliefs more than a decade later, so it kind of doesn't work as anything more than an effective method of exorcising one's own spirit out of their body.
I genuinely feel bad for those girls. I come from a similar background as them, and was very much like this up until around middle school when I discovered I was attracted to both boys and girls. It wasn't until then that I realized just how terrible the Jesus fan club can be. Still never told my parents, but gotta say, real eye opener, and I'm still extremely embarrassed from some of the things I've said as a kid due to having racist and homophobic parents. I can't really blame them just because I know from experience that they genuinely don't know any better and just haven't been exposed to much outside of their Christian bubbles, besides the negative occasional offhand comments their parents make. Hope these girls find their way and what they truly believe in instead of basing what their values are off of what their immediate family believes. Also, insanely proud of Sara and how she handled this whole situation, honestly don't think she could have handled that any better. So sorry she had to go through that, and really hope these girls look back on this and cringe
I found this channel and checked it out, the other videos are Really Funny! I'm pretty sure these girls are doing a satire of people they know, and their reactions to Saraa, going by the other videos' tone. My guess is they are atheist girls who grew up in a town with a lot of Christians, and Saraa was their actual friend, who was the foil to their kooky Christian characters.
As a religous jew i can say that questioning your religion is very important and a part of judaism and all religions should promote it in the same way.
I'm not great at eastern geography but something tells me 'an African country in Asia' made me burst out laughing cause I didn't know where to start in how wrong it was. Reminds me of 'I'm from every continent in Africa' vine Edit: It got worse, bless Saraa for having to deal with this
guys don’t harass or go to this girl’s channel we dont do that shit here. i shouldnt have to say this.
For what it's worth they said once that they find it fun y when people take it seriously and get upset, like it validates the criticism their satire set out to make. Granted, that was 10 years ago but I'd like to think they feel the same.
I wish they would've gone on to make more content, I'd be really interested in seeing where they are now, and what they think about those old videos. "Going Green for God" is my personal favorite.
Guys it’s like it can be satire and “slightly” disrespectful at certain points..
@@shrimpymcfatten1540 An obvious joke? It really wasn’t obvious to a lot of us because a lot of us have been affected by religion in a very similar non satire way. Maybe rephrase that “Ugh it Was Soooo obvious” because it comes off as smart arsey instead of criticism. I get the other criticisms but there are literal brain washing channels out there that do these thing for real with no satire attatched to them. Can you really blame us for thinking it was real?
@@shrimpymcfatten1540 So what you're saying is you've never heard of Donald Trump. Or you think he's an actor?

As a lifelong atheist who grew up in the US, I had sooo many conversations like this with other children in school and life in my childhood. The most common question when I said I don't believe in any gods was "what keeps you from stealing and killing people?". It's alarming to think so many of my peers thought the only thing stopping them from killing each other was their religion..

I think you mean "african" name. haha
Tbf a lot of people with longer names, use a shorter nickname. Also some cultures barely ever use people's first name and use relationship terms instead, so when in a culture where people use first names, they choose to change it. It isn't always just to make life easier for white people. I know that isn't India specifically, but a lot of Indian people shorten their names in India too. I mean a lot of people called Robert, will only go by Rob, or Elizabeths often go by Liz. It happens in most cultures.
It’s just a shortened version tho not the name “Sarah” it’s like Saraa I think

I can relate to Saraa so much, my Christian friend once tried to explain Christianity to me for FOUR HOURS. My little hippy brain could not comprehend it. Looking back she was just spewing what the adults in her life had told her, but at the time I did not handle the situation as well as Saraa
Bruh I literally told my friend that kept trying to convert me during high school that if all she was going to talk about is religion she could stfu 😅
"You're lost, I'm trying to save you"
No, I have my path- it's just not in the "main" road.
We get along fine now, she knows better than to bring it up around me now😆
"India is like, African, but in Asia, right?" was FRUSTRATING to hear. I think I broke my fist, punching a wall.
Sarah has to be the most polite and patient person I've ever seen. Every time they equated dark-skin to Africa, I was so frustrated.
Me too. To make myself feel better I remember the respectably brutal yet justified ass beating that Europeans got when it was time for India and several African nations to become independent. 💪🏾

They are right in the sense that Europeans royally fucked both of them up
I'm from Kentucky and actually graduated in 2009 and my junior year I and two other classmates spent an entire class period one time trying to explain to another classmate of ours that all Chinese people are Asian but not all Asian people are Chinese. And she never really got the concept. The idea that Russia and parts of the Middle East are considered Asia was really mind-boggling for her. That conversation still haunts me lol
I am also from Kentucky and just 3 years ago me and my Japanese friend had to explain to a white man that Japan is infact part of Asia despite it being an island 😭😭 he was telling my friend that she wasn't Asian she was Japanese

Good God bless you undereducated souls. At least you're not Mississippi.
my best friend in catholic high school was the valedictorian and raised in hindu tradition, but was a young man of science and an atheist, and gradually, very slowly over the years, de-programmed me out of theism altogether, at a time when i initially wanted to be a priest. i slowly grew to notice all the bullshit he went through at my school and began to love his unique way of trolling proselytizers. i chose a musician life and he chose a scientist life, so we grew apart over the years but i hope he's kicking ass and knows how grateful i am for him opening my eyes. this video takes me back to what it was like for him all the time
That poor girl though, i feel so horrible for her! That feeling of people treating you like your this abnormal being just because your not white, is honestly so disheartening and offensive! As a brown person living in a predominantly white country, I have experienced people acting like I’m this being from out of the world and it made so embarrassed of my culture (when I was younger, thank god I got over that stage of my life and now I embrace my culture completely)
And I can imagine this poor girl and anyone else in her shoes probably just wants a damn friend!
Just so awful. It’s so simple to accept everyone as they are - instead of trying to CONVERT people, why don’t you try to understand their religion and keep your mind open? It’s that simple and it’ll have so many better results.
I apologize for this behavior on behalf of all white people, seriously
She seems so self assured and knowledgable so I hope this interaction wasnt difficult for her, and after she got new and better friends. Those girls couldnt even be racist correctly 💀
@@TheGrossDemon no doubt in my mine that she was fine after that, the way she said "well, ok bye".
The conversation these girls are having with their "friend" is a perfect picture of how most adults think today. Most people just cant understand why or how someone could live a different way then they do. And somehow, that's wrong.
You reminded me of what Pocahontas said "You think the only people who are people are the ones who look and think like you". 💖
Totally.
My experience was different but it was basically along the same vein.
I am from Asia (third world country) but studied abroad in another Asian (developed) country and there is the same attitude too. Mostly colourism and being looked down for coming from a poor country. Since people from the same continent can't even try to understand each other, it's no surprise people who are ocean apart would would have trouble looking pass the differences.

My best friend growing up was indian. I never even THOUGHT about her anything like these girls. I was so interested in learning about her culture and way of life. I was Christian growing up and i would ask her about Hinduism and we would tell eachother about our theologies. Idk if its because im half latina but i was always more interested in learning about others. And my mother put a huge emphasis on respecting other people especially in their homes and when eating their food. I never saw her as weird or other.
That's so wholesome, thank you for sharing!
SAME HERE. I might be white as hell, but I've also grown up with a lot of Mexican friends. One of which being my best friend since middle school who lives in a very traditional house with her mother who's also religious.
And sure, the sheer amount of Jesus dolls in their house was more than a little jarring at first(mostly because I had a mild fear of dolls in middle school) but it was never anything that I felt was "wrong" or needed to be changed. Same thing with all other cultural practices.
Learning about other cultures and traditions has always been a privilege, especially being able to be invited into a space that reflects that so heavily.
I could NEVER imagine disrespecting someone like that so openly for something that makes them so unique.
Two legends have met and the world will never be the same!! also I had to mute the video half the time, 'cringe' doesn't even cover it

I had to deal with this conversion shit growing up. 7 years old, told I couldn't be friends with someone because "My parents won't want me being friends with a Jew. You killed Jesus and we love Jesus." Interrogated about whether or not I believe in Jesus and how Jesus plays into Judaism (including by an employer), a so-called friend setting the ultimatum that I convert or we aren't friends anymore because she wants to see me in Heaven someday , INSANELY stupid questions... I cannot *imagine* dealing with all of that PLUS the racial aspects. The religion part is hard enough, but to straight up be told that you're wrong about what race you are, to be generalized and dumbed down, is infuriatinggg.
Didn’t Jesus get killed by Romans???😵💫
believes that a Jew is the saviour of humanity…
also doesn’t want to hang out with Jews.
Also for some reason thinks that the Jews killed Jesus?
Man these kids need Jes- uh an education.
I don’t even tell strangers I’m Jewish anymore lol. I pretend to be a nice Catholic boy cause I’ve been surrounded by the culture and mannerisms for more than enough to mimic them. In the past I’ve had strangers figure out I’m Jewish and then suddenly their whole demeanor changes like they just shit their pants. Can’t imagine how it is being visibly identifiable. Not being able to “pretend” sounds hard as fuck
Also weird when you are only ethnically Jewish...
Ugh. The condescension!!! “It just makes me sad, because I want you to be in heaven with me…” 🤮
Sara is a saint. To put up with all that and just so casually be like, "Well, it was nice meeting you." She's my freakin' hero
This channel is one of the OG troll channels of RUclips. They go on to take her to church, baptize her, debate people online... and it's all a pretty brilliant troll for its time.
Any more info on this? I remember these 240p poorly lit comedy skits being what everyone and their younger brother was doing around the time this was made. The cringe is so bad it hides it pretty well, but some of the interactions seemed kinda stiff and acted. I thought I might be getting those vibes, so I came down here specifically to see if anyone else thought so too.

As a theology teacher, Saraa is my new hero. I think I saw this video some time ago, but it was only enraging because I didn't see the conclusion. I still hate the sort of ideology and polemics within and the way they were weaponized by children against another child, but that "I have to go eat my rice" troll is PRICELESS. I hope her parents saw this - that is something to be proud of.
My parents both grew up religious and still believe in god but they don’t think church is a good way to show and practice that. So I grew up atheist my whole life and two of my friends couldn’t comprehend that I didn’t go to church and kept asking “Surely you’ve gone once, what was the first letter in its name?” So at some point I just said “I’ve gone once it’s name started with a v“ (because v was the most random letter I could think of) and then they said “Oh the church of xyz” They knew the names of ALL the churches in our area, IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
Those girls asking "why are you dark skinned if you're Asian" gave me flashbacks of the white girls at my school asking me "why are you light skinned if you're Mexican"
something similar happened to me. I'm half white half black, on the white side it's mainly Irish. this man did not believe me because I have dark skin and the only thing that made me Irish were my freckles
'If you're from Africa... why are you white...?' ' OH MY GOSH KAREN! YOU CAN'T JUST ASK PEOPLE WHY THEY ARE WHITE!'

I grew up wanting to live in America and when i grew up and saw these videos i regretted wanting to go there so much. I'm not saying that it is a bad country but i really don't experience this irl. I'm so glad that i grew up other people who are from my own countries. This scares me tbh and i'm so glad that she just defended herself and her culture.
Props to Saraa man, love from another Indian ♡
genuinely
Not all America like this. Come to New York.
thank god this is satirical. she really said it felt so good to hold hands with two ladies, i understand
How did you know it’s satirical?
@@KoreyThatcher The channel is "YouLoveMolly" and her other videos really looks like a satire channel. She's either a brilliant satirist or just amazing at being unintentionally funny. If anything, Saraa is in her other videos and I highly doubt she would even continue to talk to them if they were honestly this insane
@@TheWorldsStage THANK GOD THE CRINGE FROM THIS VIDEO WAS LETHAL WHEN I HAD IN MIND THAT IT WAS REAL LMAO
Yeah, I don't think it's satire lol, I grew up like this, I didn't know a single person who wasn't Christian, and I was taught that if I met someone who wasn't Christian, to try to convert them. Also, these girls probably aren't outliers in their community, Saraa probably didn't have a lot of other girls who would even talk to her, so she was probably stuck with these two
I checked out the channel, and their other videos make it quite obvious to me that this is in fact satire.
This video is definitely fake, their other videos on their channel are basically skits with these same characters. Still not far off from what a lot of people really experience though
It’s so crazy to see how all of us who are colored got treated so differently but all terribly in school. I’m Native American. Growing up I was called “Sacagawea” or “Pocahontas.” It was a fun guessing game for people to come up to me and say “What are you?” Around Thanksgiving was the worst. Everyone dressed up as us and made war bonnets, not realizing the cultural significance of what we wear. My people were just a costume to them. The boys who were Native always got bullied for having long hair and were always misgendered, not realizing the significance hair plays in our culture. When it came time to doing research that we’d have to present on famous people I always got Sacagawea so they could dress me up. The worst one though was when they taught us about the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889. Where white people, Sooners, fought over the land they took from us and claimed it as their own. My school did a weird mock of it where the kids got to run out and claim land for themselves that were all marked and separated. The kicker, they didn’t let me participate because I “wouldn’t have been allowed to back then…” Even though we are all from different backgrounds, we all got treated like “others.”
Thats actually so insane, im sorry you had to experience that. I dont know much about native American or indigenous cultures in general, but like all cultures, yours deserves to be respected. As a black person, i understand how strange cultural appropriation can feel and the casual racism that takes place in America. I hope you're doing well and that you know your culture is beautiful and should be taken seriously no matter what others may say.
Amen Saraa! I had a girl in high school do something similar to me. She asked me to tutor her in algebra, so I went over to her house on a weekend and she AND HER MOM launched into me. About how being gay is a sin, and that they love me but hate my sins, and that I should really turn my heart to Jesus. I noped outta there SO fast. I was flabbergasted. I knew she was Christian but I didn't know she would pull that unhinged shit!!
should've replied with "at least I know Algebra" :P
so sorry you had to experience that
Seeing a child who understands there is no right or wrong when it comes to religion is so refreshing! I can’t imagine how frustrated and confused she must have been interacting with these narrow minded girls lol
Like “why does it have to be one or the other? Why are you guys obsessed with right or wrong?” Just genuinely confused ab how small minded Americans are and can’t understand it, amazing
it's satire by the way ,XD
Them saying "So you... wanna go to hell?" Is just so telling. Sounds to me like the main reason they even believe is pure fear of going to hell. If it's scary enough why not believe in it anyway to be safe, right?
As a christian, whenever I see people like this I'm thinking what do they think the outcome of going and telling a person "you're entire belief system is wrong" is going to be? That just drives people away. Also, it's crazy how all of their talking points are surface level and they do not have any deeper or more nuanced understanding of their own belief system to actually be able to have a productive conversation with anyone about belief systems.
totally agree. this isn't what following Jesus looks like, this is kids regurgitating what their parents' say and parents who don't fully understand Jesus either.
Hey, it's okay, your entire belief system isn't only also wrong but also the source of the oppression of millions of people worldwide!
when there's literally hundreds of religions and several hundred gods, believing in just one and hoping you're 'right' doesn't seem that logical.
It is a very surface level way of thinking, but these are literal children. I’m sure some adult in their life encouraged them to evangelize and this is their honest and incredibly bad effort.
I was raised Lutheran and my dads family is Jewish, which are both faiths predicated on asking questions and critically analyzing your own faith, so maybe I’m too optimistic that kids like this would eventually go through the same reflection and uncertainty about their own faith. But hopefully they did, and they found Saraswati and apologized to her!
If it helps these girls are all trolling and it's satire, it's not serious. Check out the rest of the vids on their channel
I was the first openly gay person in my town/school and I got dragged into these conversations a lot. And as a child I was always so polite and thought they are just worried about me, but now I'm like shut up Carol you are ruining religion for everybody.
dude Saraa is a legend, and i hope that wherever she is now she's keeping this same energy and continuing to be the biggest boss ever
The video was actually a really well done parody... It's not obvious from this video alone but they posted two follow up videos that were pretty obviously not serious.
I wish I had been this creative and smart at 13. All we did was make parody songs thinking we were gonna make it big lmao
If you believe this was a work, you played yourself.
I remember when this video came out, and they were slammed!!! Even then… they released a follow up video claiming “it was all staged,” just to avoid anymore backlash. They were mitigating the damage they did to themselves. These two ignoramuses literally believed they were “saving” their friend. And thus, posted it on RUclips for their “youth group,” or some bullsht.
Sooo what was the parody about? Being racist and ignorant as fck?
I dunno, I feel you'd have to be a really good actor to portray that much cringe with a straight face
@@emilyb.8219And I’m more willing to believe that over the idea that these two are just THAT far gone and stupid.
I cannot stand telling a Christian that I'm an Atheist and them telling me they will pray for me.
It genuinely gets under my skin more then it should.
Me too, because even though it doesnt do anything, they believe it does something, and they know they are doing it without my consent.
Every time someone says they'll pray for me (an atheist btw), I just always think 'well, okay, go ahead and just talk to yourself about it, then' lol
@@oddiophile97 I feel like praying is basically goal oriented meditation. Anyway I talk to a whole audience in my head all the time so I can't judge 👻
@@phosphenevision fr i will talk to myself like im talking to a live chat or something 💀
@@Portlandporkpies stfu bc me too 😭😭😭i thought i was the only one, i feel a little better now 🫶🏻
I obviously can’t talk for the Indians or any race other than Caucasian/white but as a nonbinary and lesbian teen (as well as a neurodivergent), I feel for Saraa in this situation. Having to explain basic human rights and empathy to another person is such a frustrating thing and it’s honestly exhausting most of the time.
Bless you and stay strong, as a fellow trans person I can tell you it can absolutely get better when you grow up and get to decide what to do, where to live and all of that. I'm so sorry you gotta put up with bs though.
I didn't know "Indian" was a religion that you could just convert from
It's obviously a condition where an asian has a child with an african😌
The title of the video makes no implication of what they are converting her from, only that they are converting her and that she is Indian
“I’m Indian. India is in Asia.”
- “I mean, you can believe what you want to believe.”
At least now basically everyone has a smartphone and can pull out a map real quick to shut this down.
@@DaemonJerky my guy saying "converting ___ to ___" 100% implies the person is being converted from the first thing.
@@CampCounselorCeivn does "converting my money to CAD" imply it is no longer money? You're genuinely just wrong
"Why are you so dark then?"
Probably because you're wearing sunglasses in the dimly lit kitchen
lmao this comment wins
"yea i gotta go eat my rice" literally same
My grandparents have lived next door to an Indian couple since my mom was in her teens. When I first met them, it was 1992 and I was about 3. I think the second or third thing I said to them was, “so are you made of chocolate? Like are you chocolate people?”. Probably the nicest people in the world, but I get more embarrassed with age & damn do they still let me have it. First thing they say every time I make it over there. “Hey, still chocolate. Where’s your grandpa? I’m gonna melt out here.”
i’m pretty sure that this video is actually completely satire and ahead of its time. i don’t think that they would’ve recorded and posted this otherwise lol. anyway all hail saraa
I want to believe they’re just acting out an example where Saraa has a chance to educate them.. but idk they also might just be incredibly uneducated
eh you underestimate pre teens of 2009 (speaking from regretful experience over here)
1:40 is pretty much like saying "So yeah today i had a regular edition friend and a special premium limited time edition friend come over." Like GURL DID SHE COME IN A GOLD PACKAGE TOO 😭😭
HOW DOES THIS HAVE NO COMMENTS?! THIS COMMENT IS GOLD! I’M PISSING AT THIS COMMENT!! XD
mad respect for saraa, she kept her cool, stood her ground and fucking owned them
"These are the kids of girls that would have bullied me in highschool for having hairy arms."
I identify with this remark. Hairy arm brigade stand up!!!
Shaved my arms to make it better. You know how that goes 😂
I feel like they would also bully guys for not having hairy arms because thats not masculine or whatever. Smooth-armed dudes stand proud!!!
@@minglou2019 Yes! Honestly. Why can't people just let people be hairy or not hairy. Ya know? I'll never understand how the amount of body hair a person has is supposed to be indicative of one's level of masulinity or femininity
When they said “open up to god” my dog barked 😭 (the timing caught me so off guard)
Open up to dog
As a gay and trans atheist, living in a VERY mormon conservative state, this is EXACTLY what people are like. I hears slurs everyday and racist/homophobic/misogynist comments. It's so bad. I have a Hispanic friend and HOLY SHIT the stories I hear are insane. People are so uneducated here it's genuinely unfathomable.
I'm so sorry u have to deal with that :( ur totally valid in ur sexuality and gender identity n I hope the community around u accepts that in time! U and ur friend deserve to live ur lives without being harassed 🫂💛
Being trans in Utah must be actual hell.
this is pretty representative of what it was like to be nonwhite kid in 2009 america lol. even though this stuff still def happens now, the degree of racial ignorance was def worse back then. i feel so bad for saraa but she handled it way better than i could and i hope she's doing well
14:47
Fun fact! The most used painting of Jesus was actually made by Leonardo Da Vinci, and the model was his gay boyfriend. Not really the most on topic thing but I thought it'd be funny to add!!
It was hard to get to the end, but it was worth it just to watch Sarah going home to eat her rice, go off queen
"it's like an African country in Asia" continually blows me away
The American education system has failed…completely
What happens when you put a group of stupid people in a remote area with limited access to education….😂…I wonder how these people are doing today…
As an Indian I can confirm 3:28 it is an african country in asia
Guys this video is completely satire. Honestly super ahead of its time.
I hope it is my god
@@HamiltonIsLife Yeah they made a few other videos with Sara which are sort of easier to pick up on the humor lol.
Exactly, they are really funny girls and all in on the fun. It's more obvious in their other videos
what's there @?
i’m so happy to know this is satire
Just to give a loose background for this video they covered, this is from an era of youtube where a lot of channels were presented as vlog style channels, but were basically scripted shows or skits. Kind of like amateur The Office. While they are cringe, just remember it's all fake.
These two have so much chemistry in recording together I love it. It's the kind of content my friends and I think we could make successfully but only when we're zooted and confident xD
A collab that makes ur soul feel clean and safe again
This reminds me of this time in college that my Hindu friend and I were talking to a classmate about winter break plans, and she was talking about working on Christmas. Our classmate was like “but it’s a holiday, why are you working?” And she told him “I’m Hindu, we don’t celebrate Christmas.” Our classmate was literally blubbering and in absolute shock. He kept asking what she celebrated on Christmas and absolutely couldn’t comprehend that she didn’t have an equivalent holiday.
Ughh I felt the struggle deep in my heart. I’m currently not religious, but the way my mom raised me is heavily influenced by the orthodox church (going to church every Sunday morning, I’m baptised, etc.). However, while most of the world lives by the Gregorian calendar, the Eastern Orthodox Church follows the Julian calendar when it comes to celebrations of any sort. And if you don’t know, the Julian calendar is 13 days behind, which means our Christmas falls on what is for the rest of the world 7th of January.
Anyway, to sum it all up, people have hard time understanding why don’t I celebrate Christmas on 24th of December. And to make it worse, we don’t have a feast and give gifts like others do. We just go to church.
Not quite the same experience as the Hindu girl, but pretty painful still.
After stalking the girls channel for a bit I'm pretty confident the video was just a skit, since saraa doesn't seem to have a problem appearing in a later, similar video like nothing happened
What really is terrifying is that such conversations seem to be so common in the USA taht people find something so absurd completely believable
Hearing Christianity be described as a fandom and “not being a fan” had me DYING 😭😭
I recently transferred to a very Catholic high school and I’m struggling to adjust (since I’m not religious), thank you so much for this video lol
Oof how Catholic is very Catholic. I went to a Catholic HS but we learned evolution. is yours way worse?
@@gilly_axolotl
I’m honestly not sure. We wear uniforms and the dress code is very strict, and I’m taking a theology class that digs pretty deep into the Bible. It could just be me since I’ve been going to public school since 3rd grade so yikes lol
@@ashleypisarts ah I getcha. Didn't know if y'all still had nuns or something. Ahaha 😅 I did Catholic school k-12 so I got used to all that but it is a bit weird tbh
@@gilly_axolotl
Ooooh
We have one nun I think, and honestly I don’t understand how someone could devote their life to a religion that seriously, but it’s her life so lol
@@ashleypisarts lmao I agree. The funny thing about Catholic school is that people say the best way to make your kid an athiest is to put them through 12 years of Catholic schooling 😂. Hopefully your classmates are pretty chill
People used to try and convert me all the time growing up. This is a very accurate conversation. It's rough. The worst thing is that the other kids are convinced that you are going to hell and they feel like they have to save you or its their fault. It's such a weird position. For Saraa to handle this conversation so well with such dignity in a second language is truly amazing.
Edit: if you think this is unusual, it's not. People used to tell my dad at our soccer games that he should leave my mom and us and marry a Christian woman and have children who could actually go to heaven with him. In front of all of us. While we were under the age of 10.
10:28 this gives me flashbacks to kids asking me if I, as a Jew, believe in Jesus, and also if "I even really believe in God." I feel Saraa's pain. Shit sucks. People also told me all the time I wasn't Jewish because "I don't look Jewish" which is a whole other thing (and I actually do "look jewish" anyway). And I live in New Jersey, where Jews live all over the place. Being Jewish in Ohio must be terrible, let alone being Indian in the US in 2009!
13:41 which is, ngl, literally how Christianity is. The trinity is three gods that are one god. That's what they are. They are not like the singular god of Judaism and Islam. edit: gabby talks about that literally like 5 seconds later lol.
As a former Christian I find trinitarianism so funny in retrospect, it's just a semantic trick to claim the monotheist label but also keeping Jesus as a deity
Even if you’re white with something else, you aren’t safe from assumptions. I’m white, Native, and Italian, but people still make some bold leaps guessing what you are so you can be categorized. These kids sadly aren’t far off from what I experienced in school because people would make a game out of guessing my race like I was Noel Miller. Even though I’d really just tell them if they asked, I hardly did because the opener was always “are you *insert ethnicity here*” instead of actually taking interest in my background.
TL;DR: Assumption bad. If you’re curious about someone’s culture, you can ask without being gross.
“guessing my race like i was Noel Miller” omg i’ve never related to a statement more
That Noel Miller line got me
I am half black half white and its been my life too
why did you separate the italians from the whites 💀
"Assumption is bad" but you separated Italian from white, revealing that to you being white is the default
I've met so many Christian missionaries in India who are just like this. They pay "poor" people money to convert. Happened to a few in my family.
When I moved to the US, my friends and I were approached by some women who were trying to "spread the word of Jesus". Was hilarious cuz we flipped their script on them.
Saraa was so respectful for her age as well. She handled this situation so well and respectful, I'd have thrown punches
this is reminding me of that one quote (paraphrasing cause i dont remember) where a missionary spoke to a native american man and explained that if he didnt convert to xtianity then he would go to hell. the man asked the missionary if he would still go to hell if he didnt know xtianity existed and the missionary said no - "then why did you tell me"
Hey Gabi and annemarie,
Its not your fault.
-your hindu fan from India which is in Asia in Africa.
I am dark and not pointy eyed
I grew up very religiously sheltered, so if you don’t mind me asking what are the basics of Hinduism? Don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. 💛
@@Julia-tk2em It's fine. I am not that religious but basically there not hard and fast rules. There are hundreds of gods in Hinduism. There are many festivals. It's just good fun.
Also there is a book called "bhagwat geeta" that is kind of a bible. It has mostly facts of life and good morals and stuff
@@dhrwhoo Thank you :)
Astute and hilarious analysis -love yall ❤
24:18 IM SO PROUD OF HER. BEING PRESSURED BY CHRISTIANS TO BELIEVE HER UPBRINGING WAS WRONG, AND COMPLETELY SHUTTING IT DOWN.
saraa's exit was downright heroic i wish her nothing but good things
I'm a strong believer that every household should have a globe/world map.
“Pointy Eyes” took me out. The cringe accelerated from there…
And also amen for Saraa
props to saraa for keeping calm and collected and not stooping to their low
As a atheist living in the Bible Belt it’s almost impossible to explain my beliefs to teens my age without them making threats to me but some are understanding and those people I am so thankful for
I had a friend exactly like this as a kid and I remember I wasn't even allowed to say "heck" in front of her and we kinda stopped being friends bc of how religious and strict her parents were
I feel so bad for Saraa, oh man, the absolute blunt racism with full confidence that they think they're correct, just makes one physically recoil, like THIS is what people mean when they say psychic damage. Some people have said this is a troll channel, but like actual people hold these beliefs more than a decade later, so it kind of doesn't work as anything more than an effective method of exorcising one's own spirit out of their body.
I genuinely feel bad for those girls. I come from a similar background as them, and was very much like this up until around middle school when I discovered I was attracted to both boys and girls. It wasn't until then that I realized just how terrible the Jesus fan club can be.
Still never told my parents, but gotta say, real eye opener, and I'm still extremely embarrassed from some of the things I've said as a kid due to having racist and homophobic parents. I can't really blame them just because I know from experience that they genuinely don't know any better and just haven't been exposed to much outside of their Christian bubbles, besides the negative occasional offhand comments their parents make. Hope these girls find their way and what they truly believe in instead of basing what their values are off of what their immediate family believes.
Also, insanely proud of Sara and how she handled this whole situation, honestly don't think she could have handled that any better. So sorry she had to go through that, and really hope these girls look back on this and cringe
“It’s an African country in Asia” Private school facts.
The contrast of their rooms is amazing
Everyone: having actual conversations in the comments
Me: looking for the person who knows what cereal they have
I found this channel and checked it out, the other videos are Really Funny! I'm pretty sure these girls are doing a satire of people they know, and their reactions to Saraa, going by the other videos' tone. My guess is they are atheist girls who grew up in a town with a lot of Christians, and Saraa was their actual friend, who was the foil to their kooky Christian characters.
saraa is the most iconic girl ever . i just know she's slaying today
As a religous jew i can say that questioning your religion is very important and a part of judaism and all religions should promote it in the same way.
I'm not great at eastern geography but something tells me 'an African country in Asia' made me burst out laughing cause I didn't know where to start in how wrong it was. Reminds me of 'I'm from every continent in Africa' vine
Edit: It got worse, bless Saraa for having to deal with this
