Crazy Christian Camp For Kids

[Archon68]

WTF, Christianity?

Crazy Christian Camp For Kids

Some quotes from the video:

"Let me say something about Harry Potter... Warlocks are enemies of God, and I don't care what kind of hero they are. Had it been the old testament, Harry Potter would have been PUT TO DEATH."

"This is a generation that will serve the lord all the days of your life."

"Y'all are gonna be radical! How many of you are willing to give up your lives LIKE JESUS!" *then cheering*

"We need to put God back in the government!"

"In order to be with God you need to cook a little!" (then they force the kids to sit in blaring sunlight for hours)

"MAKE WAR WITH THEM!"

"THIS MEANS WAR! THIS MEANS WAR! THIS MEANS WAR!"

The most disgusting and disturbing thing I have EVER seen.

[HungarianSupermarket]

Lol, Americans.

[gamekillereater]

It's in their nature to intrude everyone's life and psyche.

[Zouk]

Geez...Not very good at all indeed...

[amaterasu]

Just don't be ignorant and assume all Christians would support something like this.

[Sheizenhammer]

Ah, religion. Everyone's free ticket to spew whatever inane crap they like and call it 'beneficial' or 'right' because "God (read: they) said so".

[Paul-Thy-God]

Utterly Disgraseful

I know a few christians, and in fact went to a christian school, and some of the christians I know are really cool people that still go out, party and have fun, and don't get preachy about drinking and smoking (Hell I even know one that smokes weed). But its these extremists that are offputting to me, and ultimatley forced me into atheism, they brainwash kids and try to force it all down your throat with scare tactics of eternal damntation and outrageous principals.

Seriously, it's these people that give religion a bad name.

I agree with that. I thought You had to believe in christianity and that it was the truth cause if you did not you were Evil. Then i read the bible and learned how Contradictory it was. Like an Ex minister told me the bible contradicts itself 110 times. He stopped believing in chritianity when he saw a dinosuar skeleton being unearthed. They told him that Dinosuars never existed but right in front of him was a dinosuar. He stopped preaching right then and there.

From an objective standpoint, the contents of the bible were written by multiple people so you can expect contradictions. And that minister must not have had strong faith to begin with, especially considering nowhere does it say dinosaurs never existed in the bible.

Man, you only discovered this now?

This is ancient.
It's also from one of the most biased documentaries this side of Michael Moore.

I saw it, and it insulted my fucking intelligence.
It's like they don't even know what subtlety is.

It's freaky that kids are taught like that and all, but documentaries really shouldn't have horror movie sounding music if they want any credibility with me.

[Acid]

The christian's are becoming desperate. They're more like a cult now that there's only like 5 or 6 of them left.

[Snatah]

These camps must be banned.
Sometimes i think christianity may be worse then the islam.

All religion has its flaws tough.

Broad generalizations of what we see on Fox news FTW.

[MyTimeToShine]

Religion = Retarded.

Amen.

[EvilerBowser1001]

This thread is full of astounding stupidity, broad and idiotic generalizations, and just overall failure.

[LeroyJ]

I'm a christian and even I think she's stupid. People like this give religion a bad name.

[Rottenberry]

HAH I watched that movie years ago. Fucking HILARIOUS and I recommend it to everyone. There are times when it can get deeply disturbing however :|

[Tramps]

I love how religion can turn a normal person into a complete nutcase due to over-active faith. It's really sickening and saddening at the same time as these kids are going to be scarred with that thought for most of their lives. Lets hope they have the willpower to realise it's a wrong choice of lifestyle.

I hope you are referring to this particular example as a wrong choice of lifestyle, and not being religious in general.

[NeverHundred]

I remember when I used to care about this crap, but lately I couldn't give two squirts over what the brain dead are doing. Sure beliefs are dangerous, beliefs kill thought, cuase a brain to ciese functioning. And a non-functioning brain is clinically dead.

But really, they did it to themselves. They built their own fortresses, out of fear and hatred. They see themselves as a faith under seige... so they're trying to lock themselves in, trying to convience others of faith to join them. But many religious individuals know better. These are just the ones who take it too far. You can shake your head and ask yourself, "what are they thinking?" But that doesn't solve anything. I find it's easier, and probably better to do you're best to ignore their backward thought process.

As long as they think they're under siege they'll continue to try to wage war from their fortresses of hatred and fear. But you can't win a war of faith from that position, no matter how zealous you may be.

LOL. I agree with Tramps. I have seen a nice person just start treating people like garbage just because they started going to church. Apperantly you have not read The Age Of Reason By Thomas Paine or Luthers 9th theises on religion. I suggest you read them and put on the brakes of "it can only be a lifestyle choice" excuse. I have heard it for years. In my experiance none religious people are the nicesest,most caring and most open minded individuals compared to Religious people who are closed minded and believe that the words of a false prophet are true and fact.

[iateamexican]

The internet, nay, the world, would boring without insane fanatics like this.
As long as I dont start believing this shit, its just hilarious. Not my problem these parents want to ruin they're children.

[spluck]

If that wasin sweden were I come from It would be ilegal... >:(

But its only 1/50* that goes to Church nowdays.

*based on our class.

[michelinman]

Yeah dude, Jesus Camp. Excellent film. You can watch the whole thing online for free here.

Ok, but here's the thing, your life experience doesn't justify placing all religious people into that stereotype. And you really can't make that postulation about religious people today based on your fancy little books there. I can tell its due to bad experience with a particular religious sect due to you sheepishly calling out Christianity in your last sentence. I'd counter you by saying that some of the nicest people I've met have actually been Muslims, Christians, and Hindus.

Of course I've met my share of assholes due to religion as well. I used to go to a church that had a new pastor who, due to his denomination, firmly believed that women had no role other than housekeeping and raising children. They kicked him out once he started trying to act on his views by canceling programs held by female members, believe it or not.

The bottom line is, by stereotyping all religious as closed minded and uncaring individuals, you are making yourself no better than the zealots who believe stereotypes about all nonbelievers. How different is that from the racists, who have had a few bad experiences with [insert ethnicity] people in their lives and therefore accept all the stereotypes and prejudice, and make similar assertions? "All [insert ethnicity] are bad, screw 'em, my race is better.".

Utter stupidity.

[NeverHundred]

I've met plenty of christians who I should not get along with. But since my father went all born again and my brother started to go out with a girl who's family pulled her out of school becuase they thought that the schools had an atheist agenda... I have to put up with these people.

Some of them are funny, some of them are intelligent. I just think that what they believe in is idiotic. But that's okay, I can converse and talk and luagh with these people. Becuase while I sit there and smile and think, "This person is an idiot." I know that they're sitting there smiling and thinking, "This person is going to burn in hell."

I'm okay with that kind of relationship.

[Sh0T-D0wN]

I've an idea everyone!

Let's all generalize whichever side we're not on, label them as "retarded", and fool ourselves into thinking that we're any better! We'll reinforce our own views by making the opposition seem stupid and worthless.

Oh wait, you're all already doing that.

Old, for me at least. Someone on youtube made multiple rants about it before his account was banned.
