    See the two videos:
    This one's on the kids being instructed to pray for GW and the nation.

    This one's on a little kid who was atheist at one point.

    There are a lot of other disturbing clips on youtube from the movie 'Jesus Camp'. I've included a link to the official site at the bottom. I can't believe people are sending their kids here. Especially when I remember my Christian days and I find similarities: the way the moving music plays in the background, the way the preacher deliberately regulates the speed and pitch of his voice to make you feel powerless, it's utterly unbelievable to see it reproduced here. I'm sick. I'm really sick.


    And of course, a word of piety from Ted Haggard: http://youtube.com/watch?v=W6rSjrBhUIA

    Jesus is weak, and those who worship this false god must die, it is the only truth in this world. America is evil and freedom must be given not taken by the people, burn GW!

    is it really any of your business what camp parents send their kids to?
    some people are religious some are not.

    i've never heard anybody deny god on their deathbed, have you?

    There is nothing wrong with religion so long as it is working to help people and is not forced on anyone.

    Faith is a personal thing. Anyone is free to inject their faith in anything of their choosing.

    But religion is not beyond people. It is subject to what people do to it. When ones faith is at steak, it can hit a person that has invested his faith. He can take it personally. If he found his faith is in the wrong place, he can stoop to forcing his faith on others in a last ditch effort to not be wrong. Every religion that gets into this is in fact dieing. It is a confession that even the "faithful" are no longer.

    It does not mean religion is a bad thing. It means that it is subject to the same problems all other groups are subject to.

    Yes, because everthing Voltaire said must be the truth.

    §outh§tar, do you know what deeply disturbs me? When people can't accept the fact that not everyone has the same beliefs.
