10 year old minister?
Video
* Sorry, I'm not sure how to just put the video up on the post.
Does anyone else have a problem with this?
Made me laugh at first but it's actually kinda pitiful to me.

Why....because he has more charisma and greater oratory skills than you?

Because the 10 year old can't comprehend what he is saying.

According to who?
Just because you struggled to spell your own name at that age...doesn't mean he is not more than capable of delivering a fairly basic sermon.

#1, cut out the insults. That is not even addressing my point.
#2, I highly doubt this 10 year old heaven sent instrument has read the Bible.
#3, the "sermon" is just a bunch of rhetoric with no examples from text that simply says "believe in God."

#1 + #2 + #3 = brainwashing at it's highest level.

Nah, you have a shit point...it is doing no harm and let us be honest, the kid will really benefit from this.
Neither have many people who give sermons.
Like most black-church sermons.

Well, you can enforce a very specific set of ideas to your children, or you could allow them to make up their own mind in many areas, using less strong psychological implications....this kid, probably exposed to the first school of thought.

How many black church sermons have you attended? The three churches I was a part of when I used to go all the time actually quoted scriptures and stuff and didn't just use rhetoric and "God is good, I fear God, praise the lord, etc."

Of course raising a child to think for him/herself is brainwashing all the same. The parents are just washing their hands of responsibility for it.

No, I'd say it is a different.

Ah I see, where is the evidence that people actually make up their own mind? We are all simply subscribing to prepackaged ideals mostly.

Many actually... to be honest I was not impressed with the quality...although it was later explained to me that most of the congregation were so well versed in the Bible they didn't need explicit references to illustrate points, as they would know what the preacher was talking about.
It should also be noted this boy is not giving a sermon really in this clip- I have seen him give some though and he does point people to read their bibles.

You however do not seem to know anything about the subject at hand. You have just been programmed to see what this boy is doing as wrong and conclude he is brainwashed.
