I was not surprised by what I saw. I honestly did not think they would interview the calm, decent, honest, normal christians. The two biggest stories were about a wacky woman that is trying to influence politics and a money grubber that preys on the emotions of teenagers. Real Christians are not like these people featured in this special. I feel bad for those hundreds of thousand teenagers that are fooled by the Mr Luce guy. Playing on the emotions of children is not good. Mr Luce is a perfect example of who Jesus was talking about when he said "whoever causes oneof these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned in the sea"...By the way the charge over $600 a month for these teenagers to go to these camps and they are a year long, do the math...This guy is making a ton of money on these teenagers....NOT WHAT CHRISTIANITY IS ABOUT.

I was waiting for them to tell me when the last time was Christians rioted and killed people over a cartoon, burned all the cars in Paris or flew planes into buildings killing 3,000 people. Seriously, they were emphasizing the best of Islam vs. the worst elements of those who call themselves Christians or Jews. But then it is what I've come to expect from the Crappy News Network.

I watched about a 1/2 hour of it and then changed the channel. These uber Christians have got so many people flim-flammed that I am sure we will start hearing of murders in the name of God. If only they would choose to see that they aren't any better than the world that they are already living in. What is the difference between Hilter's youth and these Christian children?
I was shocked to hear that Jimmy Carter has started a movement to try to curb this theological madness. He was probably the most "Christian" president ever and I think in the long run that his goodness wouldn't let him play dirty and he couldn't counter the problems with good thoughts.
If ever there was a time for government interference in religion then I believe it is now. The one guy from Texas who is working with the Jews has hooked himself to the purses of Zionists and is really trying to bring the End of Days to a head! All that work and for what... to get people to kill each other off and bring the savior back. This is a great way to prove the Christian myths are wrong and cover it up at the same time.

I hope more Christians like yourself speak up against these things the same way certain Christians call on Muslims to speak up against Islamic terrorists.
I am not saying that the lobbyist and Luce are like suicide bombers, but Christians need to hold other Christians accountable for exploitation in the same way they would call for Muslims to hold Muslim extremists accountable for hijacking the Islamic faith.

I guess if a spiritual snake oil salesman is a 'warrior', the war in the States will be resolved without bloodshed.
I'm not sure how this kind of 'warrior' is related to the suicide bombers and terrorists of other ilks.

So far I have only watched the first episode about Jewish Warriors. It was informative, but not overly informative. I am looking forward to watching the remaining two episodes. I hope my TiVo doesn't delete them before I can watch them!

Got a link?
I'll let you know what I think.

Well in Part One, it talks about Liberty University. At 10,000 students and a massive infrastructure, isn't it fair for them to claim Christianity as much as for someone else?

I didn't see it, but from what I understand, the point was to focus on the fundies - the "warriors" if you will. It was not intended to portray normal Christianity.

Did you feel that way about the other two episodes?
Didn't think so.

Actually, it was an actual portrayal of fundamentalists....I was raised by them, attended their church, church camps, crusades, etc.... it is creepy...fundamentalist Christians are not of God.
