The indoctrination of these children has to be one of the more disgusting aspects of christianity I have ever come across. To my mind fixing a biblical negative view on homosexuals and those that choose to abort etc is abusing a child.
I have never been so disgusted and shocked when i came across these kids, they've actually been taught that they can heal people.
This is totally repugnant and creepy as kiddy porn.
1. Homosexuality is an abomination to God, documented in, and by, the Bible.
2. Abortion is murder - anyway you want to twist it.
3. Apparently, Satan maybe has you helping him gather more and more souls away from God - and you may not even realize this.

well my point was not to blame the bible for what people do that was it. you took it to a new level. i did not lets point fingers at them not who there god is. see thats where u got lost. try to keep on track

I think you got lost because I have been blaming the parents, not the bible. I have just been pointing out that without the bible, this would never happen. There is no secular kiddy camp where children are brainwashed to believe they should just be good people for the sake of being good people.
You must at least have some idea just how hard you are to follow for an English speaking person. The fact that I had to ask 5 times what language you speak would indicate no. Let me tell you, your English is very very very poor. That is not a slam at you. I do not expect people to write English well if it is not their native language and there is no reason they should. Given that, you should at least give some consideration to the fact that your point is not coming through all that clearly. Your attitude and demeanor towards me for not being able to understand you makes no sense at all.
Your point does not matter. You said what you said and I refuted it and you argued.
I blamed the parents but the bible sure is playing a big role in all of this.
My stance the whole time has been that the parents are forcing the kids, not the bible. Try to keep on track.

You are very confused. I did not say the bible is a tool for rape. You are mixing up two completely different issues.
Get over the rape and force and guns thing. Just forget it.
The bible plays a huge role in this - this being the OP about children being brainwashed with...the Bible.
I am honestly making an effort to understand what you are saying and respond to you the best that I can. It is clear after many many many many posts that you are not showing me the same consideration on any level.
I understand English is not your first language and that is why I am making an effort to UNDERSTAND. You continue to refuse to even try to understand what you are responding to. I am not sure I really care to continue this.
We are talking about the kids in the OP being forced by parents to be brainwashed in the teachings of the bible. Rape has nothing to do with it.

Are you for real????????????????
Yes, I brought up rape IN A VERY SPECIFIC CONTEXT IN RESPONSE TO A SPECIFIC THING YOU SAID. It had nothing to do with the actions represented in the OP.

Good for your kid. My kids will be parented instead of allowed to run off to any brainwashing camp they wanted to. You can argue that the bible plays a good role, sometimes. I can refer you back to the OP where evidence is provided to show you what a BAD roll it plays. You are not interested in the OP, the truth, a real conversation, or understanding me at all. You just want to argue.

Like I said. I have made an effort to understand you. You have not once asked me if I meant what you say I do. You have not once acknowledged there might be a communication barrier. 2 other people in this thread and 3 more U2Us confirm I am not the only one having a hard time understanding you. I have admitted that and asked for some clarification.
You just quote me and then say random things. I was really hoping that by now, you would calm down and try to have a civil discussion - fully acknowledging that your replies might be ill informed due to the fact that you did not actually understand what you were replying to. I admitted that on my part. I give up. I have done all I could. One simple gesture to show you actually cared about what you were actually reading would have gone a very very long way. I think I have tried hard enough.

Sorry to break it to you friend, but the bible a) is not the law, b) is nothing more than a book, and c) is only proven to be fact by the words it carries.
3. Apparently, Satan maybe has you helping him gather more and more souls away from God - and you may not even realize this.
How do you know that Satan isn't manipulating you? For all I know, you could be his henchman disguised as a person of faith. After all, if you were a true believer, maybe you should start following your religions own teachings. Judge not lest ye be judged, let he who is without sin cast the first stone, hate the sin not the sinner. Maybe instead of condemning your fellow man, you should in fact leave that to your god. Have a nice day friend.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!
If your kids choose to go to camp, super. Please go back and watch the video in the OP again. It is not about kids who choose to go to camp. It is about children who are preaching the bible and admittedly DO NOT KNOW WHY!!!!!!!!!!

It is you that does not understand. My opinion is not and has never been reliant on whether or not you cared.
you sould not mind also in your no god world do to theres no right and wrong if theres no god just people views.
That is the stupidest thing anyone has ever said to me in any language.
Do you honestly believe that without a god, I have no clue that it is wrong to rape, murder, steal, or brainwash innocent children? What exactly do you base that on?
It is really sad there are people out there that are so morally bankrupt from the get go that the only way for them to know good from bad is for some book to lay it out for them. I would pray for a person like you but...
how ever the only way i care is if the kids are being hurt if not its all good
You clearly think forcing children to do something they do not understand is not harmful. You clearly have no understanding of developmental psychology. You are entitled to your opinion. So am I. In mine, yours is ignorant, ill informed, and closed minded at BEST.
But i see your side of it i just think you try focing your views to mush and you have yet to prove your views right in anyway shape are form.
[edit on 30-3-2010 by lightningz]
I am not trying to prove my views but if you have read this thread, the VAST MAJORITY of posters also feel these children are being abused so you are screaming in the wind, my friend.

As for the VAST MAJORITY as you call it they are the people. if the yall jump off a building i bet you fellow due to that makes there way right huh?
