"Jesus Camp" Now Available on Google Video

Well, I saw the film. And one of the charismatic Christian instructors brought a life size cardboard cut-out of the Methodist Bush to the lecture and was praising Bush in front of the children. I would have to say that was an endorsement of Bush and his beliefs.

But they are most assuredly not the same set of religious beliefs.

And Thomas Jefferson making donations to ten different churches with his own money while he was president could be considered an endorsement of Christianity.

And it could be considered a good political move, an endorsement of charity work said churches were involved in, or something he did just to be nice. As I've mentioned earlier in this thread, I've donated to local mosques a number of times--as well as churches, synagogues, a Buddhist temple, and the UU congregation.

So tell me, DOC...Which religion am I endorsing?

A donation can be many things, but Jefferson's thoughts on the matter--again, unless he was a habitual liar, even in his private correspondence--are pretty clear.
 
I saw a couple of minutes of it on cable yesterday.

One of the counselors was going off on the evilness of Harry Potter and actually said, if Harry Potter had been alive in Old Testament times he would have been stoned.

I just started watching this on Netflix. This very fat woman was standing in front of a bunch of children denouncing fat and lazy Christians, how'd they be unwilling to do a few days of fasting. Umm.......
 
I want to be a cook, then, slicing up and spicing aborted fetuses and canning them for the troops at the front, 'cause that's what I did in the War on Christmas.

As for Jesus Camp, my favorite part was when the woman you've made an acquaintance with told Satan not to mess with her PowerPoint presentation.

When we begining training our 'Athiest' Army I want to be the one who hands out cookies. Kids will never kill the cookie HanderOuter.

To heck with cookies, we need candy. Kids these days instinctively run from strangers with candy. They'd work even better than the pig brigades we fielded against the Muslims in that other war.

They had marijuana over there in Old Testament times ? Curious, I would think they would have been much more relaxed then.

I imagine myself as a child in that crowd of kids, raising my hand for a question :

"Excuse me ma'am, when's the last time you fasted ?"

I was a smartass at that age. Teachers didn't like me a lot. :p
 
Loved it when the kid in the cap said about his Mom not wanting him to watch Harry Potter because of the witchcraft. Solution was to watch it at his Dads. The look on the faces of the other kids was a bit scary though.
43 minutes in.

Actually, I like the expressions. They're like, "Wait... what? That doesn't sound right..."

Which is true. They're being taught that it's "wrong", and he just says, "I watch it somewhere else instead". It does sound off, especially if it's your peer saying it, and not just a poor kid that's obviously growing up in such a sad situation.

They didn't look angry or the like, so it didn't register to me as scary.
