Hi. I'm going ot have another channel set up under a different ip that shows videos warning about fundamentalism. May I mirror this series under that channel?

Note: it may be a while before that channel is set up.

[ShwaNerd]

No problem, mirror them, edit them, criticize the videos, its all good. You could play clips, then go off on a rant, its fine with me.

Did you ever try to debate your friends or at least test there feelings on the camp or religion ? i bet some of them at least have doubts about this whole thing they are made partake in

[ShwaNerd]

You know, I really wish that I could have at least VENTURED some probing questions like that, but I was not able to. I could tell that even the kids at camp that I would consider close friends are far too religious to test. It would not have been "safe" for me to do so. I wish they had doubts, but they are as "hardcore" for jebus as they ever were.

Did anybody there know that you weren't a Christian? or were you completely undercover for this? XD

[ShwaNerd]

Nobody suspected a THING.

:P

pretty funny the guy locking his car at 1:10, guess he doesn't trust god to keep him from getting his CD player ripped even at Jesus camp.

Where do you get off claiming atheists are socialists? Atheism (skepticism of god claims) has NOTHING to do with socialism (a political system).

Your emotional need for a cosmic parent doesn't alter the fact there is no evidence for any of the gods (Yahweh included) claimed by mankind throughout history.

The amount of money that these guys are fleecing hard working honest families for is utterly repugnant.

3:16

"Because he lives I can face tomorrow [...] And life is worth the living, just because he lives"

Wow, this is just sad. It's no wonder people hold onto their faith, for many of them it really is all that keeps them going.

Also, ironically, i would argue that the gospels include a form of socialism: 1. go and sell all that you possess and give the money to the poor 2. It is as difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of god as for a camel to pass thru the eye of a needle 3. one point says if you have two cloaks and another person has one, then you should give away one of yours

It's a square rectangle issue. Marx was opposed to religion as a tool of class warfare; Marxism is atheist. The Bolsheviks were militantly atheist and later communists copied them/agreed w/ Marx. Atheism is not necessarily socialist or Marxist. Simple DUH.

really respect this vid and 4 u not believe this shit

[tony671]

great video,I knew that christian fundamentals were on the rise in the states but to send a child to these places is horrendous.There just doesn't seem to be the same sort of thing going on here at least with the christians, and faith schools eg catholic schools seem to be disappearing. This is just in Scotland which is going though a time of sectarian hate over of all things FOOTBALL with the manager of "the catholic club" getting parcel bombs through the post.Its madness

Shwanerd, You my friend are a brave human. Im 50 and that film jesus camp scared the bajesus out of me. Its like watching the muslins kids with no weapons. I am so happy you are able to see through the bullshit. To me this is a form of child abuse. Those young children have no clue, they are praised for acting like adults. Kids should get to be kids and taught critical thinking first , then let them decide on their owe. You should make your own film on this when your 18. You are Awesome.
