did i ever say anything about christianity? NO! i know its violent, most, probably all (not to sure about far asian ones) are violent. But there is no war with christian extremists at the moment. So the extremists of the day are Muslim
Whoever said this hasn't had to deal with anti-abortion nutjobs or even ID/Creationism fundies. People who will bomb buildings over medicine, and force their religion on children definitely qualify as extremists.
It is this movie about 'Jesus Camp' (hence the name) where kids are guilted into becoming missionaries or workers for Jesus (the Evangelicals). The entire movie is terrifying, especially the part where the director in charge- a woman- says that since the 'muslims start brainwashing their kids during infancy, we should be too.' The idea that any child can have a religion is absurd: young children aren't capable of making an informed decision about matters of faith.

Wait. Like "summer" camp, but centered around Jesus?
Like a camp where Evangelical kids are seriously indoctrinated to the point where the director said she wanted them ready to lay down their lives for the gospel, where they learn Creationism is 'scientifically sound,' global warming is a hoax, and how 'science doesn't prove anything.' They also learn their generation is key for the return of Jesus.
Frankly, it's a pretty scary look to the most extreme Evangelicals
But- But GOD says that its teh BADZOR!! if teh bible says it- then its true.
"But wait fellow logician, how do you know that the bible is the truth?"
"Because the Bible is the word of God"
"How do you know that the Bible is the word of God?"
"Because it says so in the Bible, which is the word of God. How do you not understand this?"
I had that conversation last week, and with luck will have it again tonight.

It's sad since I know so many religious people who subscribe to evolution, consider abortion wrong but a preferable alternative to other things and don't mind homosexuality at all.It totally bugs me how some seem to have this view that homosexuality is the worst sin one can commit...
It's irrational hatred. It should bother everybody.
My mother, for example, isn't comfortable with the idea of homosexuality because it isn't natural and where she grew up, gay people are considered freaks, but she treats everyone exactly the same way, regardless of sexual orientation or race; I respect that.
I was joking around by implying LS was gay, But yeah I get what your saying.
Personally, I don't care as long as I don't get some *** hitting on me.
Anywho, as far as the race thing goes, I'm a bang every-color-around-in-the-rainbow-then-I-can-die-happy type of guy.
On the flip side,
@LS
I understand what you mean with stuff like rape, child molestation, conservatism, hypocrtical Black Leaders(who are just as racist as there foes) and the extreme liberal, exist.
