Yeah...it kind of is. Because that kind of thing still happens and those kids are going to grow up and brainwash their kids too. Just because people have seen a shift towards liberalism and atheism being pushed more towards the limelight in recent days does not negate or diminish the effect that things like that have.
dunno how ya found that.. I've never been overtly religious, and for that matter religious period. but this made me fall asleep. these kids have zero clue that they are being manipulated in carrying on the beliefs of adults who have nothing better to do with themselves than to lay claims to Christianity like they and these kids alone will save us from ourselves.. i couldn't stand to live in a state where even little children who know nothing about how their life will affect the rest of the world as they grow up, can just be sent out to camps with a blind view of religion.
Tell that to the child of a Jehovah's Witness who would let their family die for want of a blood transfusion.
Tell that to people in Africa dying of Aids, where the Christian Aid Missionary groups won't condone condoms because they're evil.
Tell that to any person who wants to marry somebody of their own gender, and gets told they can't.
Tell that to the people whose lives have been damaged by groups bombing abortion clinics.
Mind you that's just Christian fundies. They don't hold the patent on fundamentalist crazies. If we count fundies of any and all religions, tell that to the people who died on 9/11 because of Islamic extremists.
Their concepts and ideals and beliefs are in and of themselves not threatening and are laughable...but the way these things play out in society are not so harmless.

which is to say, not threatening at all to anyone other than their opposite on the political scale.
