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.

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.

Apparently, they also think of Harry Potter as an affront to God because he practices witchcraft

 

Welcome to the town where I live. 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.

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.

Speaking of Harry Potter, anybody see this past week's Extras? Funny shiite.

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.

My obligatory The The lyrics post:

 

ARMAGEDDON DAYS (are here again)

 

They're 5 miles high

As the crow flies

Leavin' vapour trails

Across a blood red sky

Movin' in from the East

Towards the West

With balaclava helmets

Over their heads

YES!

 

But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming

Honey, you've got another thing coming

If he ever finds out who's hijacked his name

He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave

 

Islam is rising

The Christians mobilising

The world is on it's elbows and knees

It's forgotten the message

And worships the creeds

 

"It's War" she cried

"It's War" she cried

"This is War!"

Drop your possessions

All you simple folk

You will fight them on the beaches

in your underclothes

You will thank the good lord

For raising the Union Jack

You'll watch the ships sail out of harbour

And the bodies come floating back

Watch the ships sail out of harbour

And the bodies come floating back

 

If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today

He'd be gunned down cold by the C.I.A.

Oh, the lights that now burn brightest

Behind stained glass

Will cast the darkest shadows

Upon the human heart

But God didn't build himself that throne

God doesn't live in Israel or Rome

God doesn't belong to the Yankee dollar

God doesn't plant the bombs for Hezbollah

God doesn't even go to church

And God won't send us down to Allah to burn

God will remind us what we already know

That the human race is about to reap what it's sown

 

Islam is rising

The Christians mobilising

The world is on it's elbows and knees

It's forgotten the message

And worships the creeds

The world is on it's elbows and knees

It's forgotten the message

And worships the creeds

 

Armageddon days are here again

Armageddon days are here again

Armageddon days are here again

Armageddon Days Are HERE!!!
