Fired Up
I was talking yesterday about the movie Jesus Camp and I’ve got some more to say about it. The movie was kind of disturbing to me but I couldn’t quite put my finger on what all bothered me until I talked it over with God. The biggest thing was that the kids seemed to be being programmed but that wasn’t all of it.
The camp that the movie profiles is run by Becky Fischer, and she explained that she is doing no more than the Islamists are doing elsewhere in the world. She said the religious extremists in the Middle-East are using religious indoctrination to train their children to fight against the West and she wants to enlist the children that attend her camp to be soldiers in God’s army, to make them into spiritual warriors. Essentially, she wants to fight religious fire with religious fire.
Well, God and I would just like for Becky to learn what my mother taught me: Two wrongs don’t make a right.
I’ve got a more appropriate homily: Two Horses’ Asses don’t make a Horse.
