- In an interesting twist that was at times humorous (It’s funny because it’s true!) while at others insulting, HBO’s hit comedy Silicon Valley flipped the script on gays and Christianity and admitted to the hatred Christians endure, especially on the left coast, by having a gay character come out of the closet as a Christian.
The show is set in the Bay Area and revolves around tech guru Richard (Thomas Middleditch) and his equally eccentric and nerdy friends as they try to create a new internet, called PiperNet. On Sunday’s episode “Tech Evangelist,” Monica helps Richard get a meeting with K-Hole Games, a huge gaming company that might be looking to make a deal.
At the meeting, Richard introduces his developers to K-Hole CEO Colin (Neil Casey). When he gets to Deedee (probably based on Peter Thiel), he announces that Deedee is creating a gay dating site called 1stSight, but also declares that Deedee is “very gay and also a Christian,” which is a big no-no. Being Christian, that is.
Richard just doesn't shut up. Ever.
Problem with Richard is, his mouth is busy due to unstoppable shit storming words.
“that’s dumb” in lowercase
2:17 jesus jared wtf. how the fuck does jared know this?
i need to watch this show lol. i’m missing out
So did you watch it
Yes you are
Did you watch ?
Be careful what you get yourself into. Only in San Francisco 400 miles away from Los Angeles
nice product placement of the gtx 1080
Great clip
The point isn't that christians are being persecuted, it's about the double standards. Imaging for a second if someone threatened to not work with someone else because they were Muslim, people would be up in arms.
Elementary Watson, it's not correct. In previous episodes and seasons we've seen several 'religious' satanist acts including satanic 'baptism' and noone reacted like 'satanists suck'. Double standards in their worst manifestation.
And buddhism as well. Noone was scared to declare he's a buddhist.
Ok, you took only one sentence from two. What about another one?
@Elementary Watson So I strongly recommend you to watch it. You're gonna see how diverce and tolerant they are to any religious or moral concept... except Christianity. So it is no more than double standards and hypocrisy.
If you are truly tolerant, there may be no exceptions.
@@petros_ru2104 exactly!
I enjoy watching this show, but until they outed Christians.
All other groups and social interests are confirmed, verified and OK, save for Christians. Very disappointing!
What's wrong with Christians?
No one else interested in the computer simulation thing?
They are so focused on Christianity that they don't focused on other important, evidence based things. Of course, Christianity wins again, even when hated.
So, you can be a Muslim or Satanist. Maybe even Scientologist. But not Christian?
That's the joke.
@@yegmeshjwp except that its not a joke but reality
@@gillsejusbates6938 I don't really care. There's a lot of bad things in the world and the supposed persecution of Christians in a majority Christian Country ranks low.
The background looks likr a green screen
This is a clear flip on being gay, using the cultural group in America most likely to discriminate against them as the foil.
Why being Christina is weird in the valley
@@bonniesalads3150 also I think it's them trying to relate people being afraid to come out as Gay to people coming out as Christian, so it's just a joke
But definitely unholy
Is this true? Although I know that this is a comedy show, many of their narratives are spot on and true of what is happening in Silicon Valley. But they don't like religious group there especially Christians? Why? Will that affect their work?
It's an exaggeration, playing on how gays are actually treated in some cultures.
Norman Valiao Christians are mostly frowned upon on the west coast because majority of the people there are leftist, especially in the valley.
funny thing is if he would be any other religion then nobody would give a fuck, its a Leftist self-hating fetish...hating Christianity, hating america, hating the west...these people are sick in the head
Don't listen to these far right nuts. Im a Christian and work in silicon valley. I have plenty of Christians friends that live there as well. This episode is an extreme exaggeration. I have personally never seen or heard of any negativity here and I've worked here for 25 years
Listen to Heeter, Jesus you guys are dumb
oh man the product placement in this show... unreal. gtx 1080, macs and dells and what have you
Take it easy Abdoulaye
Crazy that they use computer stuff in a show called Silicon Valley
@@taninmoores4943 of course, but they're usually shown as generic unbranded products.
They mention brands and company all the time. What about it
Richard is just annoying.
Right.. I had to stop watching the show, which I otherwise loved, but I just can't stand seeing that disgusting face, let alone hearing that thing speak..
How tf can you be both Christian and Gay? It's blatant hypocrisy.
the bible doesn't actually say anything about homosexuality IIRC
@Grady Whitman Romans 9 is quite explicit in condemning same sex relations, and even then I feel like homosexuality is thrown under the bus a lot, any form of sexual perversion is condemned in scripture, be it homosexuality, adultery/fornication (even amongst heterosexuals), lust of others etc.
@Grady Whitman *"Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing. But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go." (Judges **19:24**-25)*
There is a lot of fucking picking and choosing going on friend. I don't see you raping underage concubines or selling your sister for 100 shekels? You're a fucking charlatan.
Andrew Sulivan is a gay Christian.
@Biafran Nationalist Actually since the Bible not originally in English they didn’t say gay no allow they say pedophilia not allow but the translation was not correct
WAS THAT SOME DYING LIGHT 2 GAMEPLAY . I THINK I SAW A AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN . HOLY DYING LIGHT BATMAN 😲 WHY ISN'T ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THIS 😠
Richard is being dumb. Just let the guy go
Yeah! Especially when the evidence supports that we live in a computer stimulation.
@@vicsyy332simulation theory is a tech version of Christianity
I loved this episode so much.
The role switch on gay and christian.
That's how we should view these in reality since we can be born with a genetic predisposition to live gay, even medically, while Christianity is the choice (any religion), there is no birth defect that can force a person to be christian, apart from being born in a christian idealistic family.
Point is, *while i am not gay* , i do know people who are and some did not wake up to a choice like going church on Sunday, they woke up to a factual self realization that arises with consciousness and the reality of their existence (not like enlightenment since there is no not knowing prior to the awareness of self).
Such individuals can exist and NOT be christens but to exist and not be gay is self denial, a denial of their very genetic design and manifestation of their soul's expression in this life, since it is just who they are, in mind, body and soul (DNA most importantly).
We all went through a "same sex fixation" as a child (as with oral and genital fixations) by the fact that we were born, genetic dispositions and/or other factors can influence the overcoming of these fixations, but none of us went through a religious fixation (prior to or after a christening) until we were inducted y others. You can be born gay but you cant be born christian, its genetically impossible.
*THIS GOES FOR ALL RELATIONS*
*Not just Christianity.*
Rodric Montique tend to agree with all you said. Well said. According to Chadler Burr we all born gay :) But my personal believe is that being a gay is a techinal chemical malfunction of H-Y antigens. Or that malfunction is by design here to keep whole sex ecosystem in balance.
@@5hort5ubject So ur saying god's grand design is not see perfect after all? Of maybe the imperfection is a form of perfection in itself, to be accepted for its purpose not its misuse. Wisdom can cure and it can harm. Christians have spilled more blood coming only third below Wars and Hitler. I mean, head still roll over being or not being Christians, i think religion is dangerous! right up there with politics and greed. In reality there were 8 deadly sins, blind-faith/ignorance being the last.
romans are letters written by leaders of the faith at the time and are not the word
of god
which makes the term "born-again Christian" somewhat of an oxymoron
