- berfmurret, on 10/12/2007, -23/+154little late for that homie.
- robert314, on 10/12/2007, -32/+108Disturbing to see how messed up in the head some of these Chrstians are... Let's hope they never get into power
- xutopia, on 10/12/2007, -35/+99Dude.... did you ever take a look at who your president was?
- aresef, on 10/12/2007, -14/+73People here don't bash faith. We bash people who use faith to divide the country, incite violence, or just spout *****.
- rarkai, on 10/12/2007, -32/+87NOT ALL CHRISTIANS ARE LIKE THIS.
I am getting sick of people generalizing the worst case for the whole. Not all Christians like G.W.B. and think he should run the world. Not all Christians are republicans. Not all Christians are against science. Not all Christians are racist extremists.
You just have a loud group of people who are idiots and use it for their own agenda instead of just being loving people. These people tend to get on the news faster than normal people. - merr, on 10/12/2007, -17/+68Digg: Where you can read sweeping generalizations about Christians based on a few crazy people.
Actually, you can probably replace "Christians" in that sentence with just about any organized group and the statement would remain true. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -13/+55Irrational faith of any kind does it for me.
- awm4, on 10/12/2007, -9/+47The lady speaking at 7 min. in should practice what she preaches.
She could stand to miss a few meals. - chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -14/+45The lady even says that Bush bought credibility to their movement.
- VeryAngryJim, on 10/12/2007, -9/+40Just because you disagree with someone's faith doesn't mean you can't respect it. I'm a flat out atheist and always have been, but if someone of faith requests that I pray for them in a time of need I'm not offended I just do it, it definitely doesn't hurt me to do so.
- DigDugDigger, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33A Fair Film.
Every time a Muslim does something wrong their religion is always mentioned with the crime on the news. When a Christian kills her kids because God told her so or blows up an abortion clinic, religion isn't specified 9 times out of 10. It's about time the Christians feel what its like to have a small part of your religion picked apart in the media.
Right? Maybe not. Fair? Yes. - jonpotz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+35This movie is so scary.
The part where the mom is teaching her home schooled boy through an informational video on creationism which showed a human riding on the back of a dinosaur!
Or the part where the kid is talking about how crazy is it that scientists say we are made up of protoplasm then proclaims.."...whatever that is!".
I am scared for the children whose parents subject them to this. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -15/+43bush isnt a good christian, he only claims to be to manipulate the masses
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+32Download it from Google while you can. Forgive me for the directions...but for the n00bs among us...You can either download the Google Video Player file, open it in a text editor, and copy/paste the gigantic URL into your browser to download the AVI file...or click the tinyurl below.

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+32Movie was absolutely incredible, what an eye opener. This is the exact reason why there is a seperation of the church and state.
- DeusMachinae, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25That video went down faster than a catholic priest on an altar boy.

Not all, but most. Protestant Christians who attend church weekly favored Bush over Kerry by 70% to 29%. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+32Extremely rare? You see those mega churches? 20+% of the voting block, which is Evangelical, in America is pretty damn powerful. That's not small by any means.
- bmauter, on 10/12/2007, -9/+31@aresef
I appreciate that sentiment. In the same way, I do not bash people who have different (or no) faith than me.
However, I too believe there's a lot of bashing my faith on digg. See posts by awm4, mattman59 (troll, btw), autotoxic, elbxmatatan and omglolzhaha for examples.
Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean I'm perfect. It just means I try to live my life by the example set forth by Jesus Christ. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+27I hate all these crazy Christians. They make us all look like that. Trust me, we're all not like that! We're normal people that curse, and sin, and lie.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -20/+40Apparently not enough times to convince people that organized religion is the devil.
- kingofthisnight, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Here is a fun little religion fact. A Jehovah's Witness literally just broke into my house 10 minutes ago to put a ***** flier on my table after I refused to answer my door. That kid apparently had a massive set of balls on him. He just strolled his merry ass into my house and put some of his ***** literature on my table. I chased his ass down to yell at him.
Anyone want to help me find some contact info on these people. I am pretty pissed about the whole situation and can't find much on their website. The website on the back of the flier was http://www.watchtower.org/. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+24anything is better than nothing my man. All of these churches preaching politics need to start paying taxes too. IRS should pull their tax exempt status immediately.
- akira117, on 10/12/2007, -8/+24Religious extremist in general scare me.....
- akaNerd, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19I'm just relieved that global warming doesn't exist! I suppose everyone's entitled to believe what they want. I myself believe that stop signs don't exist, and that everyone who does is an uninformed moron. (disgusted sarcasm). .
I hope this is sensationalized...it can't really be that bad, can it? - ejm508, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Actually "under God" was added during the cold war
- Somnolent, on 10/12/2007, -7/+23This was a horribly, horribly depressing movie.
- worthawholebean, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16It has been taken off Google Video; it is here, too.
http://www.dailymotion.com/visited/search/jesus%20camp/video/xqtjw_jesus-camp - warmonger48, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18Methinks she needs to fast for 40 days....
- Nodren, on 10/12/2007, -6/+19the guy made a valid point. 99% of your evangelical christians(evangelical encompassing almost all christian denominations) do not believe this stuff. I am a christian, and flat out disagree, i goto a large church(several thousand members) and i'd be hard pressed to find even one or two who'd agree with the themes brought out by the video.
just because its labeled christian doesnt mean everyone believes it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_denominations
go ahead, read that. read about some denominations, if you find this "scary" then learn about it, you'll realize we arnt making this up. - slackerbox, on 10/12/2007, -10/+22Well, an attempt at a separation. It doesn't always follow through.
- datastorageguy, on 10/12/2007, -19/+31Another example of anti religious groups attempting to portray all Christians as crazies. I would hope that most people seeing this would not fall for that trap.
The fact is that this is extremely rare and not accepted by true Christians. If anything, this video should show Christians how their own faith can be perverted. - typo180, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13@revansii
I used to think the same way (that's what I was taught). It seems like a nice ideal because some of the best people you and I probably knew growing up were Christians. Unfortunately when you look at history - the situation is far from ideal. Read Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan or take a look at the Holy Roman Empire or the Catholic Church - you'll think again about that whole separation thing.
Besides that - Jesus' message was decidedly separate from government. He called the church to bring about social justice and acceptance on their own, not pass the buck and certainly not to legislate morality. In fact he clearly says that the religious leaders of the time were placing too much of a burden on the people - requiring that they all follow their version of "god's law."
Besides, if Biblical principles are really right for a nation, then politicians should be able to support those laws without using the Bible for evidence.
Oh, and Bill O'Reilly's a douche. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+19So..how was I wrong? I simply said that many founding fathers were Deists. You helped to show that they were. I'm sorry if you have trouble following things like this.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+21@revansii
Many of the "founding fathers" were not Christians, but Deists. Do some research before you begin spouting ***** from your brainwashed, polluted mind. - jonpotz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15The best part is when Ted Haggard (the former pastor of Evangelical New Life Church) mocks gays only to find out a few months down the road that he in fact was ***** a gay hooker and snorting methamphetamine.
He says in the movie:
"We don't have to have a debate about what we think about homosexual activity. It's written in the Bible." Shortly after that, Haggard looks mockingly into the camera to say, "I think I know what you did last night. If you send me a thousand dollars, I won't tell your wife."
***** sick hypocrite. - NeoPlatonist, on 10/12/2007, -7/+19I think that the majority of Christians, Muslims, etc are useful members of society and pretty much harmless. It's the minority of crazies that make them look bad. I am not religious but I do think that believing in a god can be beneficial to some people.
- cazabam, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18"Either they are like this or they support people like this. By not condemning these nutballs, by not marginalizing the Pat Robertsons and Jerry Falwells of your so-called faith, you are as bad as they are."
I'm pretty sure that he was condemning their behaviour in the very comment you responded to ...
"Two of them, the Atlanta Olympics bombins and the OK. City Bombing were carried out by CHRISTIAN terrorists whose hate was fueled by the silent tacit approval of their extremist views by the Christian majority in this country."
Did you hear the wider Christian church call out in support or condemnation for the actions of these individuals? You seem to have forgotten to mention that.
"Let's be honest for once, shall we? Your extreme views that you are the "chosen people" of god leave little room for compassion or empathy with anyone who does not share your particular imaginary friend."
I think you're thinking of the Jews. The thing about Christianity is that it's followers (at least, the relatively sane ones) believe that it's supposed to be the religion for anybody. Other than some very dangerous cults derived from Christianity, the message is that it is a _good_ thing not to isolate and separate. - Crosshare, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12"We pray over the Powerpoint presentations" lmao, best line ever
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14I knew pillow pants was real.
- klawz, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16Not to dilute what you said - and yes, I'm being somewhat of a smartass, but let it be knowng that missing meals will not help you lose weight (well for long) - when you miss a meal, your body goes into a starvation mode, and well, the next time you eat, your body will compensate for your "lack of food" and start to store more (as fat). You're better off eating 5-6 smaller meals per day and never missing one.
- kudos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10You can still download the avi file direct from google:

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13@elfguy
So every time a person says they do something for faith you have the right to bash everyone for it? So every time a mexican does something illegal, I should bash all mexicans because that one did something illegal? Every time a black person joins a gang, I should bash all black people for being gang bangers? Every time a white person snorts coke, I should bash all white people for snorting coke?
Don't bash religion because some people use it as an excuse. Those people are extremists and aren't truly Christians. They twist the words to suit their needs. Don't take it out on the people who actually do follow faith and try to live the way the bible says. If you want to bash a religion, don't look at the people who claim to be a part of it, look at the doctrine that it teaches. Look at the values the doctrine is supposed to instill. If you have a problem with that, then bash it, but don't just bash it because of some extremists, that's just plain ignorant. - bmauter, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13@elfguy
Faith, for Catholics, is a communal thing, not just a personal thing.
@billyboobs34
Ha, bashing someone is a great way to convince them to switch sides.
-Brian - cocoamix, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12I love the fat woman in the opening scene complaining that there are too many fat, lazy Christians.
- revansii, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9and one can argue with you?
- etruscan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9That woman is dangerous - and I feel sorry for the kids, who are being poisoned, lied to, and are loosing their freedom of choice thanks to people like this. Religious beliefs should be chosen freely, not forced upon you. These kids are doomed, and will be forever lost thanks to this garbage.
I didn't realize how much of an epidemic this way until I saw Jesus Camp. The movie should be discussed, analyzed, and shown everywhere. -
