1. To get RID of them, you must BECOME them. (nt)

9. If you got rid of them then it should be no problem now.
Good for you. I'd like to make a documentary about people who've completely and utterly lost their faith in the god they were sold as children. It would be great to collect the various stories. My dad, for instance, dropped God like a hot potato after his own father died at an early age when my dad was young; others, I'm sure, simply wake up one morning and, apropos of nothing, dispense with their beliefs as one would a pair of soiled briefs.

10. My mother's death when I was 14 helped me toward the door
but it wasn't until a friend lost her fiance when they were struck by lightning as they sat in a boat on a lake planning their wedding that I finally slammed the door behind me. There was nothing that hollow religion could offer me to explain the complete randomness and cruelty of life.

There were certainly other factors, like being unable to accept the misogynistic components and the idea of a god that would let his children suffer in hell for eternity because they didn't believe in him.

But I still suffer from PTSD 20 years later as a result of all of that nonsense in my childhood. I feel really sorry for these kids. I consider what these people are doing to them to be child abuse.

4. Me, too.
Those freakazoid kids are scarier than evil clowns. I've got Firefox. Can I zap them to get them off my DU page? I'm starting to have nightmares. BTW, they're even more frightening in video form. Have any of you seen the youtube video yet? Yikes. The director of Jesus Camp says she's *training* (read, "brainwashing") them to become jihadists for christ. She wants them to "lay down their lives" for jesus, in the same way middle eastern religious extremists do.

Get adblock for firefox.
Then right click on the offending add and chose to block ads from that url.

6. don't blame
my Christ for the behaviors of some of his supposed "followers". LOL

Ya know, I really believe the devil is a right wing conservative who calls himself "religious", and he takes form in all these wack job televangelists, politicians and talking heads.


well, do you have a better answer for them???? ha..

8. Rosie O'Donnell spoke the truth that dare not speak it's name
She was right when she compared these people to the radical Muslims, and she got trashed for it. Everybody knows it's the 800 pound elephant in the room. These Jesus Camps aren't all that different than Madrassas to me.
