Thanatos Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Just rented "Jesus Camp"....Truly one of the most disturbing films of recent memory. There's something uniquely unsettling about watching small children chant, "RIGHTEOUS JUDGES!! RIGHTEOUS JUDGES!!", with tears streaming down their faces. Truly scary times we're living in.

Thanatos Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 Apparently, they also think of Harry Potter as an affront to God because he practices witchcraft: "If Harry Potter were alive in Old Testament times, he'd be put to DEATH!!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
explodo Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 If Harry Potter was alive today, he'd probably be put to death. Boy wizards never get their due. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 What I found most interesting was the attempt to draw an analogy between this kind of extremism and the extremism of radical Islam--a comparison that even the subjects openly invite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's called Lititz, Pennsylvania. There was a huge uproar here about 5 years ago when a local magician was scheduled to put on a Harry Potter magic class at the library. We've never even had a Democratic mayor, council person, etc. here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I may have heard wrong, but I thought someone oon the radio program I was listening to on the way to work made mention that there are recent nudes of the dude who plays Harry Potter out on the interweb. I turned the channel and listened to sports talk. As far as the Jesus Camp thing, anything that ends w/ ism is usually a bad thing...radicalism of any denomination is pretty messed up.

gogo Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Apparently, they also think of Harry Potter as an affront to God because he practices witchcraft: "If Harry Potter were alive in Old Testament times, he'd be put to DEATH!!"There's a great sketch comedy group here called Kasper Hauser, who do a thing called Phone Call to the 14th Century. The premise is that there's a game show where three people each get 30 seconds on the phone with a random person from the 14th century. The person who can convey the most information during his turn wins. The winner says something along the lines of "Yes, it's a talking machine, but don't worry about it. Just pay attention, I'm from the future. Wash your hands, a lot, and boil all your water before you drink it. If you keep cutting things into smaller and smaller pieces, eventually you'll get the best weapon ever. There's no such thing as witches, everybody floats. [notices he's running out of time] Some of the popes are evil! Some of the popes are evil!" Yeah, totally off-topic from Jesus Camp, but every time I hear someone in the present day who is actually concerned about witchcraft, I think of this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But if you think that Jesus Christ is comingHoney, you've got another thing comingIf he ever finds out who's hijacked his nameHe'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave Islam is risingThe Christians mobilisingThe world is on it's elbows and kneesIt's forgotten the messageAnd worships the creeds "It's War" she cried"It's War" she cried"This is War!"Drop your possessionsAll you simple folkYou will fight them on the beachesin your underclothesYou will thank the good lordFor raising the Union JackYou'll watch the ships sail out of harbourAnd the bodies come floating backWatch the ships sail out of harbourAnd the bodies come floating back If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up todayHe'd be gunned down cold by the C.I.A.Oh, the lights that now burn brightestBehind stained glassWill cast the darkest shadowsUpon the human heartBut God didn't build himself that throneGod doesn't live in Israel or RomeGod doesn't belong to the Yankee dollarGod doesn't plant the bombs for HezbollahGod doesn't even go to churchAnd God won't send us down to Allah to burnGod will remind us what we already knowThat the human race is about to reap what it's sown Islam is risingThe Christians mobilisingThe world is on it's elbows and kneesIt's forgotten the messageAnd worships the creedsThe world is on it's elbows and kneesIt's forgotten the messageAnd worships the creeds Armageddon days are here againArmageddon days are here againArmageddon days are here againArmageddon Days Are HERE!!!
