Yeah, it's terrible. Just disgusting.

Spending a few hours each week in church instead of watching cartoons at home.

Learning to pray. Learning to respect others. Learning about consequences in life, and beyond.

Being educated that it really is OK, and RIGHT, not to have promiscuous sex. Not to walk around dressed like a porn star.

Being taught that even though you will fail to live up to the standards that are clear in your own mind, that even though you sin, that there is a loving and forgiving God just waiting to forgive you when you ask.

Terrible. These people should be jailed.

Camps like this should be outlawed. In fact, belief in any kind of Christianity not approved by Ghandi should be outlawed. And while we are at it, we should outlaw those pesky Zionists as well.

My friends, I do not think the next Hitler will arise from the far right.

Compare this:

Spending a few hours each week in church instead of watching cartoons at home.

Learning to pray. Learning to respect others. Learning about consequences in life, and beyond.

with this:

“Had it been in the Old Testament, Harry Potter would have been put to death.... Warlocks are enemies of God.”

and this:

children speaking in tongues and talking of being “born again” at age 5.

There is no comparison is there?

Or did I read a different clip to the previous commentators here? ...

I'm sorry Summer, but I don't understand what you're getting at. I really don't.

As for children speaking in tongues and being born again at age 5, I personally find that hard to swallow. Certainly I believe that God may do anything He wants, including those things.

But what I know of Him and His ways, little as my knowledge is, I think that a person needs to be older. I have a 5 year old boy, and I think he is the smartest most wonderful boy ever, (you know, tied with his little brother of course), and he does know a lot about God and he believes and all of that...

But at age 5 I don't think he could make a rational decision for Christ in his life. How could he? He still wants to be...
