Evangelicals don't even follow the actual words of the scriptures so I'm not surprised by anything they do. They also make Christians look bad. Sorry I'm not more elaborate but It's the same story with them and it's been that way for years. |

Many people will not even read this because the title will be so offensive and simply because peope are lazy or don't care. However, I just wanted to say that I really dispise anyone who indoctrinates their children, or other children, into a system of belief of any kind. Evangelicalism is the most notable of doing this in North America. |

That is one of the sickest things I have ever seen. I came across stuff like that as a kid, and now I am pissed. That garbage is exactly what has me on the internet arguing about Christianity now, like right this moment. Fundamentalists create vindictive atheists. Spread the word. |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
I think it's bullshit. |

This shit never happens to me
The more I read your posts the more I think we are of a very similar background. Fundies do create very vigorous atheism; not because we are in such "rebellion from God" (as my dad says) but because we remember the fear and the hate that was spread because of it. AND, more importantly, the fear and the hate that WE spread because we were taught it was absolute truth. I went to Liberty University's version of this Hell House. I went to camps similar to Jesus Camp. I thought gays were evil, I thought atheists were scum, I thought Muslims were deluded, etc etc. |

Indoctrinating your children in to believing anything is arguably one of the most horrible form of abuse you can commit. |

Fu*king shit. Disturbing the childhood of kids (and others) everywhere. |

I knew about a lot of this stuff, but this is the first time I see footage from a hell house rehearsal. That is really sickening. I was bordering on nausea during the hell house video, at the thought that those people could fuck up their own children in such a disgusting way. |
|
It's not offensive O'nus, this is genuinely sick. How, as a parent, could they ever wish to purposely scare the living shit out of their own children? Does it even occur to them that these kids might come back one day with psychological problems and a gun because of it? |

We need that in my home town, scare all those gay kids to stay in the closet where they belong. |
