Jesus Camp?...I Think Not.

I absolutely cannot believe this. I am stunned.
Bible School. When I hear that, the first thing that pops into my mind is my old school, which was Catholic. I think of learning about Jesus and the faith, and learning the history of the Church and so on.
I don't think of this other, ugly, evil side- this extremist garbage that taints childrens' minds and doesn't seem to allow them to lead the life of a normal child.
Is this woman INSANE? What is she smoking? How much, how many? How can she teach mere children this garbage?
Harry Potter is evil, apparently. Guess what else? Harry Potter is NOT real! It is a BOOK, written for entertainment! Get over it and move on! Why do you say trash about Harry Potter, and yet do not point out the "flaws" and "evil doings" of so many other fantasy books?

She goes on to say that she'd like our children doing the same those suicide bombers are doing- laying down their lives for "Jesus".
Not that she knows a damned thing about her own religion. If she did, she'd know God and Jesus do not want people doing this, because it is violence...and, to put it quite simply, it's a terrible thing to do!

I find this unbelievably sad. These children's minds are being brainwashed, that's what it comes down to. This isn't like Islam, it's not "misunderstood"! It's absolutely terrible that children are being taught this garbage about Jesus. Everything they do is "for Jesus"- they don't have normal childhoods like must kids here in the U.S.A. do/should. Nope. They're too busy taping their mouths shut, dancing for God, and smashing cups that say GOVERNMENT on it. It's like they're so focused on being these little perfect robotic copies of children. It makes me sick.
So much for our nation being so great and wonderful.

EDIT:
I wanted to add something.

There's this girl. I almost pity her.
But it angered me when she talked about a little something she likes to call "dead churches". Does she know what God likes? No. How much you wanna bet she's never been to a "dead church", and if she has, didn't even keep an open mind on it?
I used to go to a church where we sang, listened to sermons, etc. Guess what Rachie? It's still praising God either way you cut it.

Understanding Things We Americans Apparently Cannot

I've seen a ton of these types of questions.
"What is it with Islam condemning homosexuality? Why do they wear those stupid headscarves? What a bunch of losers! Get your @$$es out of the dark ages"
Wooow. That's awfully..well, pathetic and ignorant, in my eyes.
I don't think people even bother to think that a majority of people who are Muslim come from a culture different than that of America's.
Not only that, but we, as a country, condemn homosexuality! Apparently, the Bible is against it as well!
We are a bunch of hypocrites. We condemn other countries, cultures, or religions, yet we refuse to turn around and do the same for ourselves- especially when it comes to the United States of America. Now, granted, I love it here in the USA. But we are definately NOT the greatest country out there, especially if you compare ourselves to Europe.
We are completely ignorant and intolerant of anything different. "Gasp! She's wearing a headscarf? What IS this?" Hmm..maybe she's chosing to wear it. Heck, when I convert, you may just see me wearing a hijab.
If you want to know why they do this stuff, or that for some odd reason [sarcasm] there are cultures and ideas other than those of America, educate yourself. And not with biased stuff saying "Islam is bad, it advocates terrorism," etc. etc. etc. Use something completely unbiased. I'm not suggesting Wikipedia, either, considering basically anyone can go on there and edit and fool around. Get something from a RELIABLE source!
Before you condemn a people or lifestyle you don't even know, take a hard look at your own religion or even country. You'd be surprised.
