Jesus Freaks or just plain freaks?

Since this is my very own blog, I feel it's my right to post my very own thoughts.

Eric and I watched Jesus Camp last night and I found it quite disturbing.

Reverend Hubbard (wasn't he just this year dismissed from his mega-church amidst some scandalous and very anti religous right activities??? Or was that someone else?) was right. When evangelicals vote...they sway the political race. I find it both horrifying and amusing at the same time. The religous right votes for G Dub on the abortion ticket (war shmar, economy eshomony, health care, health smar) and win. But abortion is still legal (thankfully for those who need it). Georgie pays lipservice to this group to earn their vote?

Anyway, my heart broke for the little soldiers, the children being groomed to continue the political agenda.

I'm all about being on fire for God, to raise children to have a solid religeous foundation. But "using" children to promote any religious fanatisism or political agenda is plain wrong and makes me sad.

And another thing. I wonder if non Christians in America and around the world view all Christians as radical, like what was shown on Jesus Camp and on TBS. That also makes me sad. I know a number of Christians who have quietly devoted their lives to service, really as a calling. I have such a deep and sincere repect for these true soldiers for God.

Thank you for being a true example to other Christians and to humankind as a whole of how we should treat one another. Their life long devotion has got to bear more weight than some theatrical Bible beating sermon with people falling out and speaking gibberish...I mean in tongues.
