Jesus Camp is Anti-Semitic

[Holly_Hobby]

Watching Joe on MSNBC, the piece about Jesus Camp. The pastor just said, "There are two kinds of people. People who love Jesus, and people whe don't."

AND THEY HAVE A CARDBOARD STAND-UP OF BUSH!!!

Talk about dangerous, man...how do you fight this kind of thing?

1. I'm a Christian. These people are to Christianity

what terrorists are to Islam.

9. Kick! Me too! She's ShrubCo-ian and a touch of Kkkarl Rovian

[ComerPerro]

22. that's exactly right

2. You don't. . .you vote their supporters out of office.

Or you follow the JDL idea and beat the bigotry out of them.

3. See the whole trailer here:

4. Oh, go see the movie. It gets worse.

I saw it Monday night. And incidentally, the obnoxious woman doing the interview rounds (pastor Becky Fischer) has been flat-out lying about what's in the film. She DOES talk about the political, IS brainwashing the kids, DOES have them pray to a cardboard cutout of Bush, and towards the end says she hopes the movie "has liberals shaking in their boots."

Compare her to the uber-reasonable (and generally rocking) Mike Papantonio--hardcore liberal AND devout methodist. I'm acquainted with him from way back, and have always like him--he's now my new personal hero.

11. pray to a cardboard cut-out of Bush...wha....?

Isn't that like pagan idol worship or whatever -from the fundie stand point (apart from all the other stuff thats obviously wrong with it)?

[JackRiddler]

5. umm... excuse me for asking...

But why is this anti-Semitic pers se, as opposed to anti-everything but Christian fundamentalist?

Just asking, as one of those post-Enlightenment thinker types.

20. That was the first thought that entered my mind

I was raised Lutheran and to RESPECT the Jewish faith for their differences in beliefs. The intolerance of this sect to anyone who isn't born again is APALLING to me. Am I over-reacting? I'm sorry, but that is incredibly unacceptable to me.

6. I watched the trailer for the first time tonight...

This is some scary shit. Talk about your indoctrination. :puke:

7. We're one step closer to American jihadists.

:scared: :nuke:

[JerseygirlCT]

10. Did you see the clips of the kids all decked out in

camo?

Scary scary stuff.

[Initech]

15. I am having a hard time deciding what's scarier:

The kids doing war dances in military uniforms or the kids praying in front of cardboard cut outs of Bush? :scared:

[JerseygirlCT]

17. I don't know. Tough choice that.

But as a person of faith (or trying, anyway!) I always find the juxtaposition of war and faith really, really disturbing.

So both of those things disturb for the same reason at the end, huh?

8. Bizarre hard rock style music on the movie site

Not quite what I would expect of Jesus camp...
strange...

and the whole thing looks rather...strange...

[pyro858]

12. God is like wmd's

Nevermind the fact there is no proof they exist, but if you repeat over and over and over people start believing they do exist. These people are stupid if they think bush gives a crap about them. The pastor seemed a tad bit defensive on scarborough.

[carlydenise]

13. that is nuts

Unbelieveable.......the pastor 1. has the children bless a cutout of GWB....what happened to the first commandment???? THey pledge allegiance to the christian flag, this is way outer limits

[Shakespeare]

21. Wait'll you see the scene where she tells all the 7 and 8 year olds....

...that Harry Potter should be put to death. Just unbelievable.

[PoiBoy]

14. This is a form of child abuse...

..a serious form of child abuse...

:shrug:

[cynatnite]

16. No normal parent would subject their children to this

I agree. It is child abuse. My son is seven years old. These kids weren't much older :puke:

[sakabatou]

18. Kowaii...
