Jesus Camp.

Jesus, this is fucking disturbing. If you can watch this without being frightened, you're either not scared of anything or a fundamentalist. Or, in some cases of devotion, both.

Says:As a christian, even I think that is extreme. Laying on the ground twitching is not religion, it is a medical condition.

Says:I do not believe that screaming prayers or reaching toward the sky or even making a scene on the floor will make god hear your prayers any more than a silent respectful prayer.
This reminds me of when thugs roll (not drive, roll) down the street listening to rap so loud that it would cause a Boeing 747 to roll it's eyes in disgust at all the noise coming from their chameleon Caprice. Contrary to popular and accepted belief, this does not make me want go to the nearest FYE and buy the first CD I find in which the intro has dawgs barking in it or sound bits of a Glock being fired.
No matter how loud or obnoxious you make something, if I think it's stupid I refuse to don my lemmings hat and follow suit.

Says:(just watched trailer)
As an aside; One of the quotes the trailer shows is:
Provocative. A lightning rod.
Benjamin Franklin invented the lightning in the 1700's. At the time the primary cause of death to men of the clergy was lightning as the church was nearly always the tallest structure in the town with a huge iron bell atop it. Fire started by lightning was not uncommon.
To spirit the lightning away, the Church would ring the bell continuously, obviously putting the cardinal (? don't know christian army ranks) in the path of the lightning bolt. And since the church refused to allow Franklin to ground the lightning as it was interfering with god, or trying to control gods might, the holy man would often die.
So yes, I agree... "Provocative. A lightning rod"

Says:I don't need to go on a big thing about it. Two words: Fuck that.

Says:So what was it that Zeus would throw if lightning wasnt invented till the 1700's?
Trey
Says:B.F. was a genius. He also invented a time machine and went back to pose as Zeus.
Yeah, I was wondering if anyone would read that comment. I meant to write lightning 'rod' (obviously).
Irish
Says:obviously?
maybe you are just slipping
Sheesh
Says:So, holy shit, I just watched the trailer. I almost puked! Is it me, but how come every woman on that trailer was fat and white. I could feed AND HOUSE a starving family in Somalia with the carcass of one of those women.
This trailer shows why I may end up becoming an ex-patriot.
Irish
Says:Somalian fetish strikes again.
Trey
Says:Unfortunately for people who really love the states, this shit is becoming part of being a patriot. I prefer that separation of church and state that someone said... whoever it was must have been important.
BlackRob
Says:Yeah. It's a bit disturbing. Thankfully... there is very little of this horseshit going on in China. There are some folks here however that are trying to change that... but I don't see it happening. Chinese have too much sense... oh.. and the government won't compete with these swine. They'll throw their asses in prison camps.
