Kirk Cameron... the way of the master
http://potw.news.yahoo.com/s/potw/41...g-kirk-cameron
Anyone seen this on tv. I know it's been plugged in forums before but I honestly think these guys are doing good work. I like their approach.
Thoughts?

Religion is an excellent tool to control the masses. Fear is a very powerful motivating factor when trying to control people.

from www.dictionary.com :
self-right·eous –adjective confident of one's own righteousness, esp. when smugly moralistic and intolerant of the opinions and behavior of others.
When I posted this I was ASKING for others' opinions on it

Look, it's symantic, but you ARE being self-rightous when you claim that your religion (or any religion) is a good way to choose who goes to heaven or hell...it's a smug statement as well.
I wasn't insulting your religion, or that you like to be a part of your religion. I was insulting your obvious confidence in your religion that you smugly posted to this forum...I think there's a word that means smug confidence ...what was it again...

.Faith envolves a choice to be faithful. I think everyone knows if they have made a choice to be faithful or not, or if they are still looking to what to put their faith on.

I don't see what the big deal is with Kirk? Sure, he's a bit on the crazy/ignorant side in my book but at least religion works for him and he's not really hurting anyone. Funny how not hurting someone has become my main criterion for modern religion. Quite Sad 
The only problem I have is when religious people like Kirk try and force feed ideas down your throat. Kirk, if most people wanted to learn more about what you had to say we'd actively seek your opinion. But he means well... i can just ignore it and so can you. What I really dislike is when these types of people cling to the idea of religion and other absolute outcomes such as everyone going to hell unless they live by these rules. Reminds me of how ignorant Atheists can be when they deny a the inherent possibility of God.
Start complaining when Kirk plans to destroy an airport with explosives.

In the video he seems very weak.
How arrogant and feeble-minded do you have to be to assume "is there anything else out there" after being a successful 80s kid celebrity

The reason I bothered linking it is because their approach is one of the quickest bait/hook approaches I've seen. I like their approach much better than the roving salesperson approach that has led to everyone posting no soliciting signs.
It's hard to argue against the net benefit they are doing. Like you said, they're not being signed up for jihad.
