I hope you don't actually believe any of this.
Shakyamunison-
If, by your question, you mean believing in persons like Benny Hinn--as true in their endeavors--I would say, "No." If, by your question, you mean believing that the majority of Christian congregations/churches have become apostate, I would say, "Yes!" This is nothing new, and it is only going to get worse. Whether Christianity is true or not, "biblical" Christians know that such movements do not conform/represent Christian theology. The video was disturbing, and I thought I would simply share it.

What does that have to do with anything? He's 12, he's 54...the discussion is the same, and his points seem to hold up better than yours for the most part.
If you want to be taken seriously, stop copy/pasting videos without any original thoughts or justification to them.
I remember watching a series of about 6-7 videos you posted previously....some evangelist spouting off on ID/Creationism, attacking atheists like crazy, and producing unfounded statements like "science points us in this direction..." I'm not wasting the same amount of time now, nor sticking around to respond.

What's wrong with posting a video that perfectly illustates what you're trying to get across?

The same thing that's wrong with the endless copy/paste bible verses of JIA.
Somehow I think ushome could get the same point across in 4-5 paragrpahs of his own thoughts, not an hour's worth of Christian rhetoric. I could post a movie on my beliefs too, and then just say "So...thoughts?" and I would also be (justifiably) maligned for not forming my own opinions and words, and for assuming that everyone can and should watch anything I post, regardless of length.
I don't have a problem with personal opinion on this forum. But there's a clear line between discussion between members and heavy-handed attempts to preach.

Because it could be condensed to a paragraph and actually have personal relevance to the poster.

How old are you? (also, its ironic you ask seeing as you're too embarrased to post your own. Play the hypocrite well, now don't we?)

I agree, but people post youtube clips in the GDF all the time to make a point, and I don't see anyone complaining there.
...not to metion its the GDF...

Single clips that are either newsworthy, are usually brief, and compliment the person's point....not replace the need for a point.
All this wasted energy discussing a video I posted; all the while, I stated a few posts ago, "The video was disturbing [The Dead & The Blind], and I thought I would simply share it." I thought members of the forum would enjoy the post, and the same applied to the video series by William Lane Craig. And many did! Is my posting "video blogs"--videos that I think people would enjoy and discuss over--warrant such negative feedback?!
