They are Probably the only True christians Left

[deleted]

The thing is.. after seeing this documentary last night, I can't really disagree with the topic starter, whether or not he means what he's saying. Religion in its core is a very hateful thing, it doesn't take much study to proove that. You cannot ignore that the pope who is supposed to portray the moderate vision of modern christian believe is also condemning homosexuality to this day. But even besides that, most people that still "believe" today in the western world, believe in a very watered down version of what once was christianity. I think the people of this so-called church should be shot where they stand for the load of BS they are spitting out of their mouths, but that doesn't mean that what they're saying is naturally a misguided interpretation of faith. But since all faith in essence is ridiculous, this is actually a completely irrelevant discussion ;)

Still, you should see things in perspective. Being stupid doesn't necessarily mean that you're a bad believer, in fact it has a better chance of coming close to the true meaning of faith.

Obviously, I'm an atheist that laughed non-stop while watching these idiots, especially that grandfather annex prophet of the church, who dismissed questions by calling the people asking them "too stupid to understand". What a retard.

The bible?!
Have you ever sat down and read that thing? Technically, we're not even supposed to go to the bathroom.

There is a Simpson's quote for every situation in life.

"sorry but thats bull. you are saying that these ppl are the only true christians left bcoz they follow the bible word for word, yet they seem to have left out one of the most important parts of it: Love thy neighbour as thou love thyself!"

Not just the bible, as I said earlier the Vatican to this day condems homosexuality. They do seem to understand it's pretty much a lost cause by now and they will not make too much fuss regarding the subject, but if you think christianity or any religion for that matter is all about peace and love than I'm affraid you may be more naieve and oblivious about your beliefs than some members of the sick cult potrayed in this documentary. They take it to the extreme of course, but you don't have to take your beliefs purely literally to come to some of the conclusions they seem to have reached about what's right and wrong based upon the religious tradition. And to me it's about just as offensive to be some kind of moderate believer who just picks certain rules or teachings out of a religion that he seems to like or agree with and then condemning people with a more fundamentalistic approach to their beliefs as it is to be those fundamentalists themselves.

I can understand a lot of people need some moral ideas upon which they can base their life, and religion seen as a life philosophy can be of some assistance with that. But as soon as you introduce an unseen godlike creature into that mixture, people just start to make ridiculous claims about truth, goodness and what to do with infidels which evolves in something like these nutcases and eventually terrorism. Because that's where this is going. As seen in the documentary, they are obviously very hated and this will only make them even more radical in their beliefs, until they are convinced that just picketing some funerals isn't cutting the case anymore and they have to take matters in their own hands by starting a killing spree. Or if we're lucky, they turn out to be one of those cults that commit an act of mass suicide. Nodoby would miss them anyway.
