"I'm a Christ-Follower" Videos

There are three more of these videos here.
I have these reactions:

1. What? I "get it," but is it really necessary to copy a corporate advertising scheme to get the point across? Are Christians that needful to look hip and cool?
2. They are to long. The originals are 30 seconds, and the shortest of these is over one minute. The scripts really needed some editing before "airing."
3. On the positive side, I have been striving to be a Christ-follower for a few years now. Being a Christian did not work out very well for me—it was a lot of work, and it left me feeling empty and... used.

There are a lot of comments in the various posts that I have listed here, I would encourage you to read them if you are interested by this. Here is part of a comment from Digg user Jeral the Digg post on the videos:

Abridged Version: Christianity is about realizing how much you suck and trusting in God to forgive you for being such a failure. It is not about elitism. It is not about works and showing off how "great" a Christian you are, because frankly, every Christian sucks at being one. It is not about the degradation of our fellow man. It is about faith and faith alone.

That sums up the point of both the videos, and Christ-following in general. I would love to hear what you think.
