I was going to point that out.
Now I don't have to.

Not really. Now - knowing Kingpin to be a good guy - I cringe even more, because that skit sucks. Christian attempts at comedy are seriously handicapped by the fact, that comedy works best when it's aimed at authority and power. Christians are too afraid of their ultimate authority - god and "holy" people, which is why they can only poke fun at the weak and the unfortunate - like Adam and especially Eve, in this example. It's like watching comedians in North Korea - you can't shake the feeling, that deep down, the performers are less concerned about entertaining, than with potentially bringing anger of the supreme ruler upon themselves.
Yeah - it's really funny, that according to benevolent, loving god every woman's c*nt's supposed to hurt, because of something one woman supposedly did once. That was a brilliant joke - and wonderfully mimed, too...

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The straws are strong with this one.
