I first posted about "Jesus Camp" a couple months ago. I decided to update it and re-post because I came across a video clip, on the inter-webs. The clip is under the post.
I slowed down and re-listened, over and over, to the part where Becky is leading the children "in tounges". Here is a wordforword transcription of what she is saying, prepared by your humble author.
Has anyone seen the movie "Jesus Camp"? It's quite scary. An all around unattractive(physically and spiritually) evangelical pastor holds a week long seminar titled "Preparing for Jonestown". There are pre-teen children who were reborn at five. There is a cardboard cut out of W brought on stage and prayed to, (which everyone who has watched Kirk and Ray know is worship of a false idol. Oddly, that observation floats angelically over the heads of the fanatics in training and their indoctrinators). Finally, the iminent danger of the warlock Harry Potter is expressed vehemently by the hideous Becky Fisher, Brainwasher in Chief.
I have a question. If you are filled with hate and intolerance, should you be allowed to use your children as pawns in your assinine pursuit of make believe? If you like documentaries you have seen the little children with hoods and white robes. You have seen the eight year olds with tape over their mouths at Anti-choice rallies. It seems to me to be child abuse. Indoctrination is not education. Most of these little religious brown shirts are home schooled then go on to some "Christian University".(little oxymoronish, don't ya think?) They are never exposed to anything different. From the time they are born they have no free will. None.
Now I know an arguement can be made that no one has free will because your parents influence who you are as a person. I understand, we are molded. Yet, most children are able to meet others with varied beliefs and opinions, in school and in life. Their individual beliefs then become an aggregate of different influences. Maybe they will still believe as they grow, maybe they will believe in something else, maybe they will shun religion all together. It's good to be curious, it's noble to question, and it's OK to think for yourself. OF COURSE that last sentence goes against the fundamental rule of almost every religion, but we are talking about the evangelicons here and now.
Not only are these hard core abusers shoving dogma down their children's throats, they don't allow their zeal-seed to encounter anyone who might propose a different line of thinking. As I said, the children are home schooled, next a "christian college", then into the REAL world. Once there, they presume to be better than anyone who doesn't believe in their particular brand of fantasy and close ranks, only wanting to surround themselves with like minded beings. It's safer there, it's all they know. They go to their mega churches, have their judgements, intolerances, and make believe reinforced. Perpetual ignorance, the most important tool needed to maintain a glass house.
Looking forward to limbo,

Don't you love it when she starts talking about skipping meals?! FANTASTIC!!!
I'm sure many of you have heard about this guy. Florida state rep and State campainer for John McCain, Bob Allen.
State Rep. Allen explains sex case: Fear made me play along Laurin Sellers | Sentinel Staff Writer August 3, 2007
TITUSVILLE - State Rep. Bob Allen told police he was just playing along when a undercover officer suggested in a public restroom that the legislator give him oral sex and $20 because he was intimidated, according to a taped statement and other documents released Thursday.
Allen has already denied any wrongdoing, but the recordings and documents offered new details about what he and police say happened on July 11 inside the men's room at Veterans Memorial Park.
"I certainly wasn't there to have sex with anybody and certainly wasn't there to exchange money for it," said Allen, R-Merritt Island, who was arrested on charges of soliciting prostitution.
"This was a pretty stocky black guy, and there was nothing but other black guys around in the park," Allen, who is white, told police in a taped statement after his arrest. Allen said he feared he "was about to be a statistic" and would have said anything just to get away.
Allen, who couldn't be reached for comment Thursday, has repeatedly declared his innocence, his intention to fight the charges and his desire to stay in office.
Three undercover officers said they were staking out a nearby condo hoping to catch a burglar when Allen entered a park bathroom at about 3:30 p.m.
The officers, who didn't recognize the seven-year legislator, said they thought he was behaving suspiciously and thought that he was looking for a sexual partner, according to the reports released by the Brevard-Seminole State Attorney's Office.
In a written statement released Thursday, Titusville Officer Danny Kavanaugh recalled entering the restroom twice and said he was drying his hands in a stall when Allen peered over the stall door.
After peering over the stall a second time, Allen pushed open the door and joined Kavanaugh inside, the officer wrote. Allen muttered " 'hi,' " and then said, " 'this is kind of a public place, isn't it,' " the report said.
The officer said he asked Allen about going somewhere else and that the legislator suggested going "across the bridge, it's quieter over there."
"Well look, man, I'm trying to make some money; you think you can hook me up with 20 bucks?" Kavanaugh asked Allen.
The officer said Allen responded, "Sure, I can do that, but this place is too public."
Then Kavanaugh said he told Allen, "I wanna know what I gotta do for 20 bucks before we leave.' " He said Allen replied: "I don't know what you're into."
According to Kavanaugh's statement, the officer said, "do you want just [oral sex]?" and Allen replied, "I was thinking you would want one."
The officer said he then asked Allen, "but you'll still give me the 20 bucks for that . . . and that the legislator said, "yeah, I wouldn't argue with that."
As Allen turned and motioned for the officer to follow him to his car, Kavanaugh identified himself as a police officer by raising his shirt and exposing his badge.
When Allen was being placed in a marked patrol car, he asked whether "it would help" if he was a state legislator, according to a police report. The officer replied, "No."
HAHAHA!!!
I think he's got an interesting theory. Seriously, it could save lives. Racist, sexually repressed, republican lives.
Memo to all republic christo-zealots:
Next time YOU are in what YOU claim to perceive as a tense situation, just offer the nearest black guy a twenty and a blow job. Then YOU can make it home to YOUR loving wife and children...who have no idea YOU ARE ANOTHER REPUBLIC CLOSET CASE!!! Oh yeah, and praise jesus.
FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
Dearest Karl,
The other night as I held you in my arms, both of us frothy from our love-making, I realized just how much I loved you. I love the way you bring a cub scout home for us when you know I'm feeling down. I love it when you show up ten minutes after Laura leaves with an eightball and absinthe. I love it when you take a warm towel and wipe away the santorum that drips down my leg after you take my balloon knot. I love your white, fat, pasty body. Don't ever leave me.
I ask this not only for myself, but for the nation. Who else could help me destroy democracy as efficiently as you? Who else could create such shiny distractions as I ruin the country? What other great mind could conceive a permanent republican majority of 51%? Who else could help me sell two wars? What other strategist could politicize every aspect of the government to the point where none of it works? How many men could send people to death with such ease. Your manipulation of the weirdo christians, your divisive social policies, and your lying...oh man...your lying. These triumphs belong to both of us. One could not be, without the other.
I hope you at least think about your decision to leave me, nay, us. I will never love another as much as you. Let's do some more damage together.
Hopefully still yours,
Georgie
Who knew how romantic that stupid, hate filled, narcissistic, faux religious little prick could be?
