   I hope that 100 years hence, it will be viewed as we see sending them up chimneys & bear baiting.

   I saw this film some time ago when it first came out.

   Old news now since the loony pastor who ran this camp has had to shut it down, and creepy Ted Haggard has got his just reward:

   A case, if ever there was one, for courageous journalists to make more documentaries on dubious religious groups. West Midlands Police take note.

   Just watched it and it was brilliant about truly vile, evil people. The postscripts confirmed what mustafa said. I couldn’t help thinking that the awful woman was just like the restart officer out of League of Gentlemen and as for when they prayed that the devil wouldn’t stop Powerpoint from working … This unintentional humour was overwhelmed by the dominant image of children crying. Manipulative, sinister bastards damaging kids and warping minds.

   Where are the child protection social workers when we need them?

   Yep, Jesus saving the chairs and the Powerpoint was amusing.

   Busy getting their training on how to be more sensitive to ‘religious needs’.

   “Manipulative, sinister bastards damaging kids and warping minds.”

   Catholicism, Judaism. Islam. All the same — without exception. Brainwashing from an early age (especially by their parents) does wonders for their recruitment you know.

    PS. Did anyone else notice the rubbish Norm spouts here?

    Of course it is still taboo to do so. At times Norm has his head up his arse.

    Gadgie: as for when they prayed that the devil wouldn’t stop Powerpoint from working

    Theologically this is a bit suspect but technologically it’s spot-on.

    Will: Did anyone else notice the rubbish Norm spouts here?

    Norm is great but his vertical hold goes when its Dawkins. Which kinda makes the point he’s arguing against.

    Powerpoint is a thing of the devil.

    The people behind the camp are thinking about coming to the UK for an “International Training Conference”:

    I wonder if we could ban them?
