Friends of God: A Road Trip With Alexandra Pelosi


I just finished watching this documentary and I encourage anyone who hasn't seen it to watch.

It was probably the scariest thing I've seen in a long time.

First of all Haggard is the creepiest guy ever, I can't believe people would follow this guy. He gave me the willies.

Also the part about evolution was unbelievable, simply unbelievable. They even explained the whole dinosaur living with humans thing. Had a song and a cartoon drawing of a dinosaur working along side of man.

All I can say is to watch this documentary, it explains/shows why so many in this movement are bat shit crazy.

cheers

1. Where can I get it?
Is it in the theaters? Or can one buy a copy?

2. It's on HBO

...and it will be shown 3 more times today.

I'm sure it will be on again later in the week.

Cheers :toast:

Might be a while before it makes it to DVD. Try to find Jesus Camp instead if it's been released yet.

4. I was sort of afraid to watch it....
I'll have to keep a barf can next to the sofa, I'm sure.

I don't think those people are bat shit crazy because they are in this "movement." I think they are in the movement because they are bat shit crazy. A bit of a chicken/egg argument, I suppose. :shrug:

5. Lol


...too true, which came first.

It was hard to watch, there were a couple of times I had to force myself, but I'm glad I stuck it out.

Cheers

7. The So-Called "Christian Comedian"
wasn't funny in the least bit. As a matter of fact, I would go as far to say...he wasn't a comedian, but another preacher asking for money.

8. Yes


That was my take also.

I also thought that if a "liberal" comedian said any of those things about Jesus, they would have had a fit.

cheers

9. It was excellent
She did a great job of letting them tell the story themselves, it's their own words so they can't hardly claim it was a biased hitjob.

12. Exactly

...and that was the best part. She asked a few questions and just let them run with it.



Cheers

10. Uh.. the part about the christian sex life?
And him saying Christian men have better sex- and then asking those guys how often they have sex and how often their partners climax? I puked a little in my mouth

....it was hysterical, if not a bit frightening. I couldn't believe Haggard asked the question, too creepy.

That one guy looked like he just rolled out of bed.

Cheers

13. Christian men? What about the women? I only saw a clip of
him the other day, but it was more than enough. He really is creepy-looking, isn't he?
