Creepy. I don't see how anyone would be attracted to this sort of thing. Even in my "Evanjellyfish" daze, I would not have found something like this attractive.

Heil Comrades,
The time of purification is near. Give me the resources and I can do a much better film. While there were freaky elements, let's step back for a moment. In the eyes of the world, what makes us different than them? Little. Yes, we have our minute distinctions on 2kingdomz, but few people outside our little camp will grasp that distinction.
Let's pretend that a Reformed speaker goes to a pro-life rally (there are still a few Reformed speakers like that). I can cut and paste several scenes together and this speaker can be the most rabid Klinean, but I can make him look like a paramilitary officer.
Context is key. That video had a lot of correct phrases: raising our children because the enemy is raising theirs'; righteous judges, homeschooling, etc. Now, it was horribly skewered, but the idea itself is not wrong.
The kid also had a mullet; that was cool.
I am not endorsing the movie; just don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I know many, many, many people who think this movie reflects ALL of Christianity. I know high school teachers and College professors who use it in class to discredit Christians.

It's ridiculous. It's silly. And, frankly, it's embarassing!

Technically, isn't it more like a Jedi Rat Tail? Maybe they have discovered the secret of the Force.
One of those churches is right here in my own city.

The question for us today is, will we be like the majority of Israel and continue to look in fear at the giants in the land and urge our fellow Christians to be "realistic," or will we be like Joshua and Caleb and faithfully follow our king, trusting to fulfill every one of his promises completely? |

To me this is this is strictly "100% USDA Made In America Evangelicalism". This is what I use to dislike about American Protestantism before I was a Roman Catholic.

This movie just showed me how diverse the term "evangelical" can be stretched to define a church. A constant worry of mine is how those who are truly reformed need to be in more dialog with these "evangelicals" because the gospel has been removed from so many "liberal" and "conservative" churches as this movie shows. We need to be witnessing and bringing the gospel to these churches just as much as those who dont profess Christ.
