Ent: Why will you not watch Dawkins? Are you afraid of hearing something that might question your faith? I have watched plently of xian videos on the 'net. The documentary, btw, is just what I said it was about.

i have never in my life even heard of these. they are despicable!! if u have to scare some 1 into believing then that person doesnt really believe and they wont be saved! God doesnt want u to repent out of fear. He wants u to repent because u no u should. i believe in God but i would never attend some thing like this. this is what makes ppl hate religion. and if a church tries to scare u into repenting then they're not a real church!

I went to one at a church that is near where I live. It started off where you can feel the Holy Spirit speaking to hearts but then the play started to get funny about 5 minutes into the play and the people started laughing and killed what the Holy Spirit was trying to do. Then at the end of the play the Pastor of that church asked if anyone knew they was lost and needed to be saved raise your hand and many did. Well he said pray this prayer. Then he said if you prayed that prayer then your saved. I hate when people say pray this prayer. I think the church should have taken the people who raised there hands off to the side and show them what God's word says. The first 5 minutes of that play was great but then it got to be more funny than serious. Hell isnt funny and should never be a play making one funny.

Not a Christian but I've been to one of those productions. They call it the Nightmare. The only scary thing is the intensity they wage as you exit in an attempt to "Save" you. They trapped me between 3 people begging me to accept Jesus. If you do the math is makes since for them try this hard.
Lets look at a congregation member:
Hypothetical Salary of $25,000.00
Tithe 10% ($2,500.00)
Year-end Tithing sum $2,500.00
T-Shirts and Stickers $65.00
Taxes on tithing profit: $0
Net Income from tither: $2,565.00
x 6000 members: $15,390,000.00
BIG MONEY IN RELIGION

Sorry sweetie I clicked on the link and it said "richard dawkins," so I closed the page. I guess I haven't been to one, since I've never heard the man speak.
EDIT-- Okay I watched it. Keenan Roberts is a complete wacko and NOT preaching what the Bible says. False prophet all the way, what a bunch of theatrical nonsense!!
Dawkins is wrong about the Biblical moral code, however. All he does is quote the old law from the Old Testament that doesn't apply to us anymore.

Now that was weird. I would not go to one of those productions and would definitely not want my children to attend.
I like this much better:
And these words shall be upon your heart and you shall teach them dilegently to your children; Faith, joy, kindness, patience, compassion, love, gentleness, goodness, hope, peace and forgiveness.
Peace out.

yes i have been to one of those. i think that they are awsome ways to show people what happens after you die if you turn your back on God.
