In a week I start a new school... A hardcore christian school. i'm an atheist, you should make a video on how to survive that .. haha. I'm pretty nervous.
I'm more of an apathetic agnostic, but I grew up in a very christian home and going to some very christian stuff growing up, buying in pretty well until about my mid-teens.
Religion is very interesting to study as a social and cultural artifact; it has shaped the way people have viewed and written about the world around them throughout history.
...But fervent belief in religion is garbage, it's crap, and I hope everyone who pursues such follies would wake up and go get a real education.
So, I'm curious as to why the hardcore christians need to throw religion in everyones faces, its the same with hardcore athiests why do they feel they need to spread word against religion. Christians believe in God, Athiests dont, why cant both sides agree to disagree and leave it at that?
@mgkusmc Well, part of the issue is that it's not that simple. Fundamentalist Christians in particular tend to want to shift the laws of their nation, if not the world, to a theocratic standard. I myself am not a militant athiest--it's not a huge factor to me if you believe or not. But when people try to essentially slap logic and evidence in the face for silly and tenuous assertions, and make all accept these ideals as law, that people decide to take the fight to the aggressors.
@cossintan1 RUSH wasn't really that Canadian. Just becuase your born from a place doesn't mean you they should be there i was born in Canada but knew i should of never been born there so i moved to the UK.
I went to a christian camp several times when i was younger but I never really payed attention to the Jesus stuff cause it was a really fun camp. But now I'm an atheist and think back on those camp trips and i see, oh my god, this is such propaganda, how did i not see this before.
@adey5 Nonsense. He is a human. Humans have legs. To acknowledge the possibility that he did not have legs is somewhat reasonable, as he could be an amputee or was born with a defect, but the only reliable assumption would be that he did have them until shown otherwise. Now believing he has a prehensile tail, despite no human in history ever having one, THAT would require compelling evidence. Like God. ;D
@Devilonsteroids Yes, you are right I guess. My message was tinged with a hint of sarcasm there, with a Creationist Stylee "you cant prove it if you werent there".
Sorry if the sarcasm didnt come across in the text. Mind you on the human tails issue, I understand atavistic tails ARE possible in humans, but EXTREMELY rare.
@Strangerinasland I am making a reasonable estimate. You are correct, I dont know the exact figure. BUT if they were common, we surely would have heard about them. There would be charities (like Cystic Fibrosis Trust, sickle cell) adverts for donations for cleft pallet surgery like we see in the paper, I would have heard of someone who had one. I cant find any figures but I reckon they are so rare, few people even knew they were possible. I bet they are rarer than all the above
@adey5 I don't have the proper information to make a reasonable estimate. Do you?
You said "EXTREMELY rare" & I asked how you'd know that? Now you say you don't know the exact figure & "if they were common". There is a big difference between rare & EXTREMELY rare.
I don't have exact figures on this either but babies being born with externally ambiguous sexuality are much more common than most people are willing to believe yet there's extremely rare mention of it in the news & (cont)
@Devilonsteroids "Now believing he has a prehensile tail, despite no human in history ever having one" Google atavistic tails, you will see a few examples. Thankfully they seem very rare.
@WorkForYourMoney I actually had large seeds of doubt planet that later resulted in my atheism when I went to "pwn some evolutionists" on a debate forum. I got my ass kicked and was so embarrased I deleted my account and never went back. A few months later I examined the issue more open-mindedly and now I'm an atheist.
If they have hot Christian chicks with strap-ons, then sign me up! I'm an atheist but I'd go there just to see the strap-on action. There is not a better way to end a fire and brimestone speach than to get a couple of fundamentalist horny young virgins to do the strap-on show.

@xcellken1 hey...i'm still alive and my teeth are still in my head. so yeah...r we going to duel mma style or are you just going to come over and kill me? i'll look forward to either one
I would sign-up for jesus camp if I could witness the christian girls with strap-ons etc. I might even sit through the sermons and all that if I could watch this kind of action for dessert!
i remember when i was little, and i was forced to go to a christian camp for 3 summers, and i learned nothing from it, i didn't start questioning gods reality until oh... 8 or 9 and then i started to watch this show about a years ago, i loved it, it show's how wrong the church is.
I am going to a retreat in Ocean City, MD in later January. I'm atheist for about two weeks now. Believe it or not, it was a long transition to fully open my eyes and make that decision. Going to have to watch this horribleness very soon..
@alienlifeform11 I would join, but I'd be fucking shunned so hard by all of my friends just for the title. Not saying to change your title, its very needed, yet will any religious folk even drop by a page like that?
I go to Christian school, like this guy said it's really easy to put on a face, but their philosophy sucks, I hate listening to bullshit about how we need to listen to Jesus or go to hell, and how we need to stop cussing and blah blah blah. I love this show btw
@DXfanization -cause with not believing comes too many questions and people bugging you to convert, and in my school the administration itself gets involved, and I'd rather avoid all that.
I went to Jesus Camp when I was a kid and had the time of my life! I thought it was all make-pretend and we were just pretending to be religious fanatics, like only role-playing or something! As an adult I am shocked to find out these people aren't just goofing around! I guess being just a dumbass kid without a clue does have its advantages!
There is a camp called "Falls Creek" that is relatively close to where I live in Oklahoma. Rumor has it that that camp is the biggest cause of teen pregnancies in Oklahoma, earning it the nick-name “Baptist breeding ground”. This is just one more reason that these “Christian church camps” are horrible terrible places.
I personally would never go to a christian camp. You come back shunning everything that you liked before, throwing away your music, and changing yourself completely, when there was nothing wrong with you before. Christianity makes you think that everything you did is wrong and that you're a horrible person. People have died that way. And christians say, why should god show himself? We dont deserve it.. THEN WHY DID HE CREATE US IF WE DIDNT DESERVE GOOD AND THAT WE'RE MEANT TO SUFFER!?
@BWEEBLAST Good question, and you'll have plenty of empty answers from fervent believers about it. Every religion is about the mass, following a leader, instead of showing respect to the rights of the individuals. It wants to make you think you're nothing without "god" and unless you surrender your judgement and free will to this invisible entity and it's doctrine, you'll be suffering eternally in hell fire.
opens with Rush, has Matt suspiciously stepping away to "fix some audio" (sniff sniff), ends with a gag about speaking in tongues and dates, and...RUSH. What's not to like?
It's comforting to know I'm not alon. I was scared to the bone whenI went there. I was about 13 almost 14 and I had said I was an atheist. I don't know how to explain it, but for a second I thought that I had died and was on the way to hell.
Have you ever noticed that anybody speaking in tongues sounds like the preacher they are following? Go to another church and listen to them. they will use the unintelligible nattering that sounds like that guy. Just a little observation I made during my life in the purgatory of the fundamentalist school system.
@armarjaleo I can do that. I used to do that in my games, pretending it was a language. So yeah, you don't have to be Christian to be batshit insane xD
Al-Quran has 1400 years ago and Muslim Scientists has been declared "He (God) makes you (human), in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness".
Al Quran sura Az Zumar;6
".....He (God) makes you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. . . ."
Have the Bible and scientists/Darwin/Aristotle states "that is a true or a false"?
Speaking in tongues is fake! It was a gift given to the disciples to preach in foreign countries and now it's unnecessary. As for your candy money, in Proverbs 21:3 it says 'To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.'
@height76 Does that include things such as slavery and genocide? I have not read the bible, admittingly, but i believe it is Exodus 21, where Moses says what people it is acceptable to keep as slaves in GOD's opinion (correct me if i'm wrong). Also, i want to point out that it could never have been Justified to destroy all life on the planet (Obviously refering to Noah story) Noah's family could not have possibly been the only pure family remaining out of the millions that were killed?
@jordaniansparkes Certain things permitted in the Old Testament did not necessarily represent the ideal, the laws given to Moses were given to express how slaves and servants should be treated. For Noah's generation the warnings were clear, everyone had the opportunity to be saved, from a Christian view it is a consistent theme running throughout the bible, ultimately Gods judgement is final but if we follow Jesus we're saved.
Could it BE any more obvious how religion is simply the most time honored money making scheme mankind has ever developed other than, perhaps, prostitution.
What would happen if someone became an atheist and tried ask for their tithing money back from their former church?? Never heard of anyone doing it.Just wondering what might happen.
How did this guy hold his tounge? An atheist in the midst of all them theists? I couldn't help but say something. They would have put me in a wicker man by the end of the first hour.
I like the call sing of this video. "Ideas are Invincible" The power of meme's run so deep. But that tells you how primative people still are by being owned by crappy , brain washing stories.
A Jesus Camp thats the definition of a cult where uneducated parents send their kids to become more brainwashed until like this caller see it for what it really is and wakes up to reality and what a shock they needed money just like every other religious organization.
I saw the clips from BigAl2k6's rant (which is an awesome rant, BTW), and I'm convinced those children are brainwashed. And Becky Fischer should've been put in the slammer for her actions, not get nominated for an Oscar! >:(
BTW, her camp had been vandalized a few years ago, and it's been shut down ever since (also due to negative reactions toward the film). Unfortunately, Becky has plans to re-open it. :-O
I remember my friend, who curses & yell at his mom(not violently), went to church camp. 2 weeks later he came back and holy shit! ALL he could talk about was how he was going to heaven and not us because we sin. But luckly, no matter how religus my friend was, he still couldn't put up with his mom and he was back to normal. Man that was weird...
I was a camp counsellor at a Christian camp for a summer. It turns out that out of 14 counsellors, 10 were non-believers (atheists or agnostics or undecided) and 1 was Jewish! hahaha I thought that was awesome. Atheists, we are not alone out there!
I think there's a difference between your Christian camp and Jesus Camp, canadianmaple09. Jesus camp is fundamentalist to the point that they tell kids that Harry Potter is evil and he would burn in hell.
At Jesus camp, if there were any non-believers as counsellors, they would have never told you they were because they wouldn't be hired otherwise. I don't think any atheist could even pretend to without some ulterior motive of getting things caught on film or something.
@KemaTheAtheist haha yes, I have no doubt the Christian camp I worked at was much different from what they refer to in the video. It was run by the United Church of Canada... very inclusive, very welcoming to everyone. That being said, I still couldn't stand their constant deferrence to an imaginary friend in the sky and thanking him for things they clearly provided for themselves through hard work and ambition. It was an interesting experience.
I don't know why people are surprised that christians think harry potter is wrong. Harry Potter is a wizard, fiction as is, doesn't matter. God tells you not to be involved in things like that and he doesn't say "unless it's fiction entertainment."
Why are they on a couch? :)

@BWEEBLAST Good question, and you'll have plenty of empty answers from fervent believers about it. Every religion is about the mass, following a leader, instead of showing respect to the rights of the individuals. It wants to make you think you're nothing without "god" and unless you surrender your judgement and free will to this invisible entity and it's doctrine, you'll be suffering eternally in hell fire.
I'm glad to be an atheist.

It's comforting to know I'm not alon. I was scared to the bone whenI went there. I was about 13 almost 14 and I had said I was an atheist. I don't know how to explain it, but for a second I thought that I had died and was on the way to hell.

Have you ever noticed that anybody speaking in tongues sounds like the preacher they are following? Go to another church and listen to them. they will use the unintelligible nattering that sounds like that guy. Just a little observation I made during my life in the purgatory of the fundamentalist school system.

Al-Quran has 1400 years ago and Muslim Scientists has been declared "He (God) makes you (human), in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness".
Al Quran sura Az Zumar;6
".....He (God) makes you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. . . ."
Have the Bible and scientists/Darwin/Aristotle states "that is a true or a false"?

Speaking in tongues is fake! It was a gift given to the disciples to preach in foreign countries and now it's unnecessary. As for your candy money, in Proverbs 21:3 it says 'To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.'
height76 1 year ago
@height76 Does that include things such as slavery and genocide? I have not read the bible, admittingly, but i believe it is Exodus 21, where Moses says what people it is acceptable to keep as slaves in GOD's opinion (correct me if i'm wrong). Also, i want to point out that it could never have been Justified to destroy all life on the planet (Obviously refering to Noah story) Noah's family could not have possibly been the only pure family remaining out of the millions that were killed?
jordaniansparkes 1 year ago
@jordaniansparkes Certain things permitted in the Old Testament did not necessarily represent the ideal, the laws given to Moses were given to express how slaves and servants should be treated. For Noah's generation the warnings were clear, everyone had the opportunity to be saved, from a Christian view it is a consistent theme running throughout the bible, ultimately Gods judgement is final but if we follow Jesus we're saved.

Could it BE any more obvious how religion is simply the most time honored money making scheme mankind has ever developed other than, perhaps, prostitution.

I saw the clips from BigAl2k6's rant (which is an awesome rant, BTW), and I'm convinced those children are brainwashed. And Becky Fischer should've been put in the slammer for her actions, not get nominated for an Oscar! >:(
BTW, her camp had been vandalized a few years ago, and it's been shut down ever since (also due to negative reactions toward the film). Unfortunately, Becky has plans to re-open it. :-O

I remember my friend, who curses & yell at his mom(not violently), went to church camp. 2 weeks later he came back and holy shit! ALL he could talk about was how he was going to heaven and not us because we sin. But luckly, no matter how religus my friend was, he still couldn't put up with his mom and he was back to normal. Man that was weird...

I was a camp counsellor at a Christian camp for a summer. It turns out that out of 14 counsellors, 10 were non-believers (atheists or agnostics or undecided) and 1 was Jewish! hahaha I thought that was awesome. Atheists, we are not alone out there!
canadianmaple09 2 years ago 121
I think there's a difference between your Christian camp and Jesus Camp, canadianmaple09. Jesus camp is fundamentalist to the point that they tell kids that Harry Potter is evil and he would burn in hell.
At Jesus camp, if there were any non-believers as counsellors, they would have never told you they were because they wouldn't be hired otherwise. I don't think any atheist could even pretend to without some ulterior motive of getting things caught on film or something.
KemaTheAtheist 2 years ago
@KemaTheAtheist haha yes, I have no doubt the Christian camp I worked at was much different from what they refer to in the video. It was run by the United Church of Canada... very inclusive, very welcoming to everyone. That being said, I still couldn't stand their constant deferrence to an imaginary friend in the sky and thanking him for things they clearly provided for themselves through hard work and ambition. It was an interesting experience.
canadianmaple09 2 years ago
I don't know why people are surprised that christians think harry potter is wrong. Harry Potter is a wizard, fiction as is, doesn't matter. God tells you not to be involved in things like that and he doesn't say "unless it's fiction entertainment."
