The only "hate" i see going on here is from you towards people with have harmless beliefs.


Harmless? Watch the Jesus Camp documentary.

You refer to a movie. An agenda- driven hollywood movie.


No, a documentary. Nobody put words into their mouths.

Even though that is your prize exhibit A, i still see NOTHING wrong in its portrayal. So christians raise their children in the faith? So what? they teach them to pray for others and behave well. Big deal. None of this amounts to "hate".


Its fine to have faith. Its not fine to HATE people. Judge not lest you be judged. Paraphrasing the big J here. Evangelicals seem to be the most judgemental people around.

I really think you should look into Islam and how they routinely stone women to death, if you want to get perspective.


Wow, well youve got that one won. Envangelicals are mot quite as bad as Islamists. Moral relativism at its best.

Truth is that you westerners are utterly spoiled by the fortunate history of christianity, freedom and tolerance that you've had for so long, that you've begun to pick holes in it out of boredom


Im not picking hole in Christianity because I dont consider evengelicals to be real Christians in the first place.

"jesus camp" is at first an insulting title for the faith that your nation was founded on..and held by the founding fathers.

This biased little documentary is agenda-driven to demonise christians as has been going on since the circus maximus.

the presentation makes out everything to be very creepy. if you'd studied the media you'd recognise a host of presentational techniques straight off.
There is already proof showing children from christian families are better adjusted, better students, more productive members of society.

But I see you'd prefer a whole generation to be raised in a meaningless drug-fuelled existence where crime and irresponsibility is encouraged?


I'm not saying you have to like it. I'm saying that if you are a reasonable person, then you can't condemn what is essentially a force for good.
