has anybody seen this film?
"I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will" (Matthew 11:25-26).

It is religious faith of that caliber that causes people to fly jets into skyscrapers.

I can't remember the exact words involved. It's been months since I rented that movie.

True. All I can say is, good thing Christ commanded his followers to, "love your neighbor as yourself," and "bless those who despitefully use you and persecute you," and "love your enemies," and "do good to those who hate you." Right?
It's funny hearing people in this thread feign worry over nothing. These kids would sooner die for you, than harm you in the least way. The army stuff is merely symbolic of the church's perennial battle with temptation and spiritual evils, not literally of militaristic significance.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12).
No doubt even the children in the film were aware of this, so it's highly unlikely that your worries aren't feigned, unless I've underestimated you.

Originally posted by epiphinehasThose children are utterly indoctrinated and therefore vulnerable to the whims of their teachers, teachers that are obviously militant and fundamentalist. They're as likely to take up arms against non-christians, as they are to praise Jesus. If you moved this story to Iraq you'd find the same thing, kids growing up as soldiers for fundamentalist causes and apologists like you suggesting they're full of god's love. They're not, they're full of misguided, immature zeal.
