Those are awesome.

The first seems like it will get the "mad at god" argument thrown at it. I like the second two a lot though.

They seem like spoofs of the current Scientology spots.

I like the third one best - it's a bit less militant.

... or maybe I'd like them better if he'd hired me to voice them

I think the approach to which you allude above (low production costs, maximum audience penetration) was really leveraged well by the wecansolveit.org campaign, which also pushed heavily through the YouTube market.
