'Hannah Montana' Star: I Do Everything for Jesus
“Hannah Montana†star Miley Cyrus and her best friend Mandy Jiroux have dedicated their Easter installment of "The Miley and Mandy Show" on YouTube to Jesus, saying everything they do is for him.
In the video, Jiroux, 20, who performs as a back-up dancer for the popular teen star, reads a question from a fan who asked if the girls were Christian.
The squeaky-clean duo emphatically respond, "Yes!"
"Yes! We love Jesus!" says Cyrus, 15, as she nods her head in agreement. "Happy Easter, by the way. He died for our sins. That's how awesome he is.
"Jesus rocks! That's why we do what we do," the Hannah Montana star adds. "She (Mandy) dances for Jesus. I sing, dance and act for Jesus! ... Now that I think about it, I do everything for Jesus. We make the YouTube videos for Jesus. We’re all about it."
Her comments should come as no surprise to fans who have been following her career.

123. I await the day when she does omething illegal
I know it's in poor taste but...
Political Heretic
146. It's sort of sad that in this community no mention of religion can escape becoming a flame fest
Someone might suggest that reflects a certain level of "intolerance" :shrug:
Ava
147. there is absolutely nothing wrong with that
and for anyone to assume there is, is extremely close minded.
my little sisters love hannah montana, and quite frankly i think she is a great little role model for them.

Is Ava growing up before our eyes? :-)

i wonder if any of the adults are going to take her on? surely she needs a re education about now about being a good progressive? :popcorn:

She's getting dangerously 'fundy' in her outlook. Someone will be along to set her straight I'm sure. :lmao:

Hey I used to be as liberal as they come. People change once they get their grown up brains. You never know, little Ava could be the next Ann :bow: <3 Coulter.

159. WTF have you done besides bitching about celebrities on the internet?
I have stood beside self-described born again Christians in soup kitchens, and park cleanup days. I have marched alongside them in Pride Parades.
They are not all Robertson-esque hate machines. With maturity comes the realization that there is good and bad in every group. I had a massive hate on for born agains for a long time because of the shit they put me through at the megachurch my family went to. I will not get into it, it's really not relevant, but I will say I am probably the last person on earth with anything good to say about that particular belief system and really generally not one to defend it.
That said, there is good and bad in every group. Every group has its share of hypocrites, slanderers, and outright freaks. I have no issues with born agains until they start expecting me to get born again (been there, done that, got the haterade), or they start trying to make their religion the law of the land, infringing on my rights to worship as I choose, marry, and so on.
It takes a special kind of insecure, douchey asscarrot to paint an entire group by the most batshit insane members, and be offended by its very existence.

Damn, Ava said something rational! Maybe there is hope after all!

I am a Baptized Christian and I have worked in a soup kitchen. I have also counseled a gay person. I told him "You yourself are responsible if you get AIDS". Does that count? Well it's the truth, and it is counseling.
And I don't "apologies" for it either.

When was the last time you gave $500,000 to a cancer charity? :whatever:
