HBO documentary "The Army of God" |
|
Did anybody else see this film? The religious fanatics are just insane! I'm Christian but I'm not going to blow up abortion clinics or kill anybody. Jesus Christ didn't teach us an "eye for an eye". These people who were interviewed are no worse then the Taliban who do suicide bombings in the name of Allah. Did anybody else see this?

6. Many religions are sane |
|
That's like saying sports are bad because of an occasional riot.

3. Jesus' teachings about "an eye for an eye" are quite specific |
|
Matthew 5, in the sermon on the mountain. He states that some say an eye for an eye, but instead one is to reject violence and "turn the other cheek".

Like when he was taken to the courts. One (Peter or Paul I believe) brought a sword to the solider and cut off his ear and Jesus healed the ear and told him to put down his sword.

5. I'd like to take issue, instead of no worse, how about "no better than". |

7. But back to the doc... |
|
it was really insane and these people are really creepy. They interviewed Paul Hill who killed a doctor in Penascola, Florida and he said he would do it again and he was smiling and gleeing in his eyes. They also followed around the main group of this "Army of God" and they really are like the Taliban in Afghainstan.
