Lord Save Us From Your Followers

I enjoyed watching this video in class. I personally think it is pretty good. I pretty much agree with Dan Merchant. He spent so much time walking across America just trying to find out how Christians are doing. It really hurts to be told how easy it is to judge people in your mind right when you see them because it's true that everyone does it and it's wrong. It's sad because you don't even know the person or their story. Like that one guy Sister Mary something, at first glance your like oh wow.. what a wierdo but then whenever the guy says that his mom died and he was abused and he has HIV you feel really really bad and try to be nice to him. But shouldn't we always just be nice and love people? Not because where they come from but just because God loves them.
One part of the movie that I really liked was the confession booth. I thought it was interesting how some of the people he talked to grew up with a Christian background. So obviously they know scripture, one girl even says she has alot of it memorized. Those people really do believe that God made them how they are and saying that that's dumb and yelling scripture at them really isn't gonna get you anywhere. That's why I like the confession booth. It's something that would get your attention and once you get in there it would be a really cool experience. Although some people still didn't really buy it, alot of the people were very thankful that someone would be loving enough to apologize to them and really listen and care about them. Just think of the kind of crap they get. Especially some who grew up in the church. They kept saying how this was so different from all the other Christians who are always rude and mean. I don't like being a part of that, like just because i'm a Christian i'm mean and judging because that is the total opposite of who Jesus Christ was when he came to die for us. So I have to start making the changes in my life which will be hard.
I think it was cool how the Enid how a version of Bridgetown Ministries! Going out to the park with the forgotten church is really alot of fun. At first your a little nervous but then after a couple weeks you make friends and it's really cool.
