And unfortunately, I SAY AGAIN, IT SUCKS that this is the face that gets slapped onto Christianity when there are thousands of actual people who practice something that I would consider closer to the heart of what Christ was trying to get at in the first place instead of perverting it for their own agenda or as a vent for their own twisted pain. Extremists are noisy and misled. I think it's ok to be scared of them, hell I'm scared of them. However, I don't know if you should base your judgements on Christian morality as shown in a documentary about extremists. It's like trying to decide if Islam is a good religion by watching Osama bin Laden tapes...
Unfortunately, though, people aren't as interested in making a documentary about people like me because I'm NOT scary and, therefore, unnewsworthy... But I do understand your concern, and I'm sure when I see the movie I'll be all riled up and disturbed myself, so I sympathize with your feelings. I just wish to reinforce the point that Courtney made that this isn't the real deal, it's the crazies talking. Besides, I'm not too immoral or brainwashed...
No, I definitely recognize that these are extremists and not the majority if Christians. But they're gaining influence, and who knows whether or not they could become the majority in the VERY near future. It seems insane that they would be that greatly supported, but then again, it's just insane that groups like this started in the first place.
