Upcoming Documentary: Jesus Camp

Is drowning in case of sinking necessary for innocence?
Actually this is a perverted Babylonian not biblical scheme (the Codex Hammurabi declared swimmers innocent)

[mepper]

actually i was going for the monty python joke

J.C. IS IN DA HOUSE!!!! (I swear, I nearly wet my pants when I heard what they were singing; such high quality stuff).

I especially liked the fact tat taste in music was based on whether the music had something to do with Christianity. Ah, good times.

And that with the old saying that the Devil has the best tunes

it depends..do they float?

I don't know, do they weigh the same as a duck?

There's a documentary on Channel 4 (UK) at 20:00 tomorrow "God's New Army" about a place called "Patrick Henry College", which apparently supplies the White House with more interns than anywhere else. Fundamentalist, Creationist ones if the press reviews are correct.
Might be worth watching.

I only score 4/12 on their Honor Code, so probably be best not to apply.


Paging the Doctor...

I read there are 3 that I already abide by - but as for the rest, I try to violate'em as often as I am able to do so legally ... <heh>

Haven't got round to watching the video yet (for some of this stuff I have to be strapped in with my eyes propped open, Clockwork Orange style). I gather from the press reviews it was a fairly non combative documentary. One was disappointed the P.H. people weren't challenged to explain how helping squash compensation payments for asbestos victims was part of God's work.

She's a witch...she turned me into a newt...

Well I got better!

Rules are there to be broken...except the 'It's your round' rule.

Oooo! I want to kick it with Christ! Who wants to kick it with Christ with me?

You know what I would have love to hear? A kid stand up with that lady yelling about Harry Potter and say, "You know Harry Potter is a fictional book and magic is not real right?. Also to say a 15 year old kids would be put to death for saving his friends in the olden days does not make us want to live like the olden days."

But only with a good life and health insurance .

These people sound scary. *hides under the blankets on his bed* Mommy! Make the scary people go away!

Finally retrieved and watched the video.

Surprisingly (to me) I ended up feeling rather sorry for these homeschooled backwoods innocents being groomed for Washington. Talk about sending sheep out amongst the wolves. Also feel sorry for the U.S. if they do get into office. The average cynical EU bureaucrat or British career civil servant would run rings round them at international conferences.

On the U.S. domestic front, I got the impression they could do some real damage by being the acceptable clean-living, fresh-faced boy/girl next door face fronting some really vicious, nasty and divisive policies.

Works like rising children in a sterile environment. The moment they leave it they become dangerously sick. (same with scientists working in Antarctica. They get the cold when they come back!)
