Precisely.
At the same time, I am concerned that kook fringe groups like this will define Evangelical Christianity.
That depends: will other evangelical Christians unambiguously denounce this sort of abusive brainwashing, or will they spew CAIR-like equivocations on the subject?
Funny, I think that is liberalism's general view of christianity.
Child Abuse?
Well, I guess only certain kinds of learning should be allowed in your perfect worlds. Public schools, pc dogma, slippery slope socialism. Popular culture is the opiate of the people and will, left unchecked, lead us to become that moral and economic utopia known as Europe.
LIConFem, you suggest people didn't read your comments accurately. Actually, in reading this thread, your insinuation is clear. What is wrong with Christians being serious christians (in the manner they think is appropriate). NO ONE suggests killing anyone in any shape or form. NO ONE suggests harming anyone. (I have't seen the movie - but based on the clip you innacurately described as evidence of hatred.)
I WILL NOT DENOUNCE KIDS GOING TO A CAMP AND CRYING OVER THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS. THEY THINK SALVATION AND JESUS IS THE ANSWER. I THINK THAT'S GREAT. They might be right. Do you know?
On the other hand, maybe they should just be "good little boys and girls" and eat the images of sex, global warming (you tried watching a kids movie lately without that latent message in it?), instant gratification, and moral relativity they get bombarded with. A generation of spoiled, unmotivated, empty souls crying out for their government to save them from the evils of capitalism, the United States, and the white man.
That some people have the cojones to step up and say "no more" or "I want to change this" isn't a pathology. People with passion and convictions not established by ABC News, a 1950s philosopher, the Rolling Stones, Jon Stewart, or TV sitcoms shouldn't be judged and condemned. Christian-lite may make some of you feel more at ease with your country club or coffee house friends. As for me, I'm glad to know some people, including children, take matters of such importance seriously and with actual conviction.
