I think the Buddhists would laugh at something similar on Buddha and probably have a good laugh. Most of them any way. Don't think Islamists would though. Except for those that are more aculturated to Western society. They would probably snicker in private.
The irony in the clip is of the humor variety where the outcome is startling and different from what is expected and also what the faux Jesus is singing as he get slammed by the bus.(I will survive!")
Sometimes I wonder what is real when it comes to the meaning or purpose of life. Seems more like a really bad joke at times.
I found the clip very funny because I have a disgust of all in my life that I have learned about religion.
I have met some very spiritual people that are Christians, Islamists, Buddhists, Agnostics, Atheists and I don't have a problem with that.
In that sense I loved it when faux Jesus is annihilated by a bus just as he is singing "I will survive!".
I knew that JEsus because it is what i learned for the most part. a fabricated person who speaks thru perverts but I didn't realize they were perverts until broken down and getting out. But not without some damage. I am sure that is true for all of us that post even years, decades for some, after leaving.
