Have you ever seen Jesus Camp? Documentary about some lady from Missouri who runs a Christian summer camp for kids in North Dakota. Sounds relatively harmless, right? I mean, I know none (none?) of you are Christians, but it doesn't sound evil or anything, right

Me! Me! I'm a Christian. But I usually don't tell people--and I have left "Nazarene" off of my college name on my resume--b/c lots of people don't think you can believe in God and have an intellect. In fact, there was a recent survey that showed the word "Christian" is typically considered to have negative connotations to the general American public. How sad is that?

Well, when that is the vision that non-Christians get of Christians, I don't blame them for having negative ideas of the word "Christian". Moderate Christians don't have a loud platform like this movie because we don't make for "good TV". No one would be interested in us because we're normal. Those people get a movie because they're off the reservation.

We know you're not crazy, Hunter. Take comfort in the fact that most people who are smart enough to watch a documentary in the first place are probably smart enough to not lump all Christians into the same category. I hope.

Yeah, that whole dinosaurs thing has been a sticking point for years. Even though dinosaurs ARE in the Bible, but whatever.

I am a wannabe Christian. I would like to one day be able to call myself one without feeling like I'm lying. Sayo is one of the coolest catholics I know-- she can really call herself a Christian and I admire that. She also gets really angry about how hard it is to be respected as a christian in the world today.
