He's 7 years old, for Christ's sake. (Irony intentional). He can't even understand what he is saying. My nephew has a decent idea of good and bad, and even why, but the notion of sin and damnation would be beyond him, and he's a bright kid. And evolution would be something well beyond his current knowledge and capacity.

I think the title of the post is misleading. A "basher" is someone who belittles or mocks a topic. I think you may mean "beater" or "thumper" as in a person who flogs a point of view to force an opponent into submission.

Otherwise, EEK! what a story!

I used to BE that child. I also grew up in an extremely fundamentalist family in rural Mississippi and was encouraged (strongly pushed) into being a pint sized evangelist. This poor child even looks like I did at that age. I feel so sorry for him.

My parents decided that I was unfit to continue "in the ministry", or even in their family, right about the time I broke it to them that I was gay.

To this day when I return to Mississippi to visit family (we have reconciled after 15 years) it's like going to another planet. I just can't relate to the fundamentalist mentality that is soooooooo pervasive throughout ALL aspects of life there.

Hopefully these children will escape this craziness before they are completely done in. I thank god that I did.

As fundamentalism is rather rare in Europe (at least in Germany; I still haven't encountered any), I unfortunately don't have any reference to compare such madness. But, for Cthulhu's sake, I hope that the children manage to escape these lunatics. (Lovecraftian remark intentional.)

Children shouldn't even be confronted with religion until they begin to think for themselves and don't just adopt every damn thing from their zealous parents. Preaching at the age of 3? Insane. That Boutwell still can't speak well and probably has a very small vocabulary compared to other children of his age. (I'm not condemning home-schooling, but if you're growing up in such a environment, odds are that you won't have learned many other words.)

A terrible development. Hopefully, the amount of religious zealots will decrease in the future. Otherwise, we might as well go back back to the 14th century and say that the sun orbits the earth.

This is truly a horrible situation that this child has been forced into. As Outis remarked above, the parents have no right to corral the mind of this kid so thoroughly into the narrow Fundamentalist worldview. His Father is beneath my contempt. Even accepting his obvious delusions, that he would inflict this on a child this young is evil, pure and simple.

I do think it unfortunate that parents would push their children towards such public performances. This is exploitation. But honestly, I do not think there is anything wrong in raising a child in faith. Not scare them by threatening them with hell, but if what has happened here is wrong, going the other way and not telling kids anything about tough topics (like religion or God or sex or death) until they are older does them no favors either. Children grow into adults, and parents have the responsibility to help them out with that.

Oh, and the link to part 5 is dead now.

I do not believe that this is an attack on the boy who cried, "Repent," or "Save your children." I sincerely believe that this is an attack on what he preaches. Anyway, how many children do you know at the age of seven who sincerely know what they are talking about. I have preached when I was his age and still am a preacher at 22. Preaching the Bible is very sacred thus presenting a fear of God (not fear as in spooks, but having a deep respect for someone or something) and a desire to present the message in such a way that would bring glory and honor to God.

I would rather see children grow up with God in the word, than to hate and murder, if you are judging these people for their children's ministry. Think about how your treating your child at home?
Does he hate? manipulate, is he unhappy? Does he/she not get enough attention and seeks it in ways they hurt people? Is there divorce? your child may be suffering the abandonment, three at dads, four days at moms. This leads to mistrust and insecurities. parents smoking/drinking in front of their child in the home, the yelling/screaming.
This is kinda over doing it I agree.
However, save the children who are being beaten and sacrificed to Idols, mentally, physically, emotionally,spiritually, it is happening around the world. Abuse has to stop, in any form.
There is nothing wrong with strictnesses towards your child to serve God, there is way to much sin on earth all because of lack of discipline, there is a difference between Abuse and discipline, know the difference.

I'm sorry, I must have missed where they said that only christians have a lock on morality. Are you saying that non-theists cannot raise moral children?

You'd think that a prison would be populated by a majority of non-theists considering how theists claim to have a lock on morality. Funny how that's not even close to the case....

Theists make up well over 90% of the US population and almost 99.8% of the prison population. Simply considering who's in prison, it's easy to conclude that non-theists will win the morality "game" by a landslide.

No!sir, that is not what I am saying here, what I am saying is that there is something wrong with this society of such blind matters,and lack of truths and study, we want to only see good things and avoid the bad things, we want to hear good things rather than seek the truth.
No matter how we see things we judge it and make it wrong, what if we are to suffer in order to make it to heaven like Christ? who is to say this is hell and we have time to repent for such a short time? we do not know that, but we do see the difference in ourselves between evil and good, it is based on what you feed the most, in the end we are measured by our own doing, we forget to show love, we would rather not make it right but rather judge, it is easy to judge than to correct something that is not fit, it is never gonna be good enough. I am doing an essay right now about, "Is our system based on Ten Commandments? The number of lives lost in the attempts to advance or defend religious beliefs is in the millions. They also have forgotten that Lucifer, who also is portrayed in the Bible as Satan, is the progenitor of the human race. He is, indeed, Another creator.is there one real God and many false gods?
Is this one God put all together? Phil. 2:5-8 - "Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6-who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7-but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8-And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9-Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name. some people sacrifice time to change what is right from wrong, some do it better than others. we also have this false sense of freedom that is based on liberty but is it freedom? No,they give us the freedom of speech, but if we say anything wrong we are charged with discrimination and so forth, We have the father of all lies, and as a human race we need to see who that father is, cause it ain't God. When these children come to earth in these end times to tell people to repent, it is the sign that us adults are stupid and it takes a child like to see that in us. like John the baptist crying in the wilderness revealing people to"repent" the time is at hand, we don't know if this is our last straw. However, God does show discipline when we do wrong and he would probably use children more so cause they are pure.
we adults are already polluted in his eyes, this is why it is important to repent.

Honey, I'm not exactly sure of what you are trying to say. Satan as the Father of Lies is such a Christian concept. yet, if you read the bookof Job, there he is, sitting on the throne of God. Makes you sort of wonder who is doing the lying, doesn't it? Just because G allegedly said something, doesn't mean that it was G, or that he necessarily told the truth, even about Satan-- or especially about satan.

In any case. Satan, merely G's messenger (shaitan), may be one of your ancestors. I wouldn't know. but he is certainly not one of mine. Mine was a monkey.

17 On March 10, 2008 at 9:55 PM, David Biber wrote —

Let me correct you, "Ben in Oakland," and say that Satan, in the book of Job, was not on the Throne of God. Satan has just as much access to God as anyone does. As for your ancestors being monkeys, go beyond that and see where the monkeys come from, etc. I believe God spoke and it was so. Genesis chapters 1 - 2.

18 On March 10, 2008 at 9:56 PM, brandy wrote —

Yours might have very been the form of the moneky, However, I aint hairy enough to see the monkey in me, sucks I don't even have the moneky spirit. I don't believe God would make man his image, in a form of a monkey. I do believe some DNA is not all human DNA. We are not all the same..so I do believe there is many life forms out there than what we see, however,captured in human flesh. I disagree that we are all the same. We have to much of difference's in the life styles to say we are from the same DNA. sure we all shed the same blood but so do animals.
In spirit we are all different, If you say you came from the monkey that is fine, your statement can be correct, but even with that statment, you must study the truth.

19 On March 11, 2008 at 11:07 AM, Chuck Wolber wrote —

SIGH I am so tired of this ignorant refrain that we came from monkeys. Can we dispel this myth once and for all? There's not a single reputable EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGIST alive that would say we came from monkeys. Get a life, read a book, and stop parroting what you hear in church. Evolution does not say that we evolved from apes, monkeys, chimpanzees, orangutans, bonobos or any other cute furry poop slinging animal you find in the zoo.

On god speaking, let's get real here. Which god? From which book? There are so darn many, it really is hard to keep track. Oh, you mean THE bible (as if there were just one...)? I hate to break it to you, but the idea of the trinity was a late addition to most bibles. It does not show up in the oldest versions. Oh and that "virgin" thing? Whoops, mistranslation, they meant to say, "young woman". Oh well, good thing that little doctrine didn't screw up generations of young women... Go back to the drawing board and come back when you can all agree on just who this god person is and what his book is supposed to say. Until then, me and my buddy Spinoza are going to be chillin' at the bar...

And Brandy, really honey your grammar is awful and your sentences are rambling. I can hardly tell what you're trying to say. Use fewer words and more punctuation!

And finally, on the idea of spirit/soul, there are many problems. Here are two:

1) Brains can be altered by disease and accident. This changes the very nature of the person at their core. Examples could fill libraries. Where is soul?

2) Why is it that kids generally take on the religion of their parents and community? Most kids born in muslim countries become muslim, most kids born in christian countries become christian, most kids born around cargo-cults look for John Frum on February 15th. Different soul? Or just smart enough to see abstraction, but not smart enough to understand Spinoza's natural law?

Oh and don't get me started on the problem of evil or the argument from hiddenness...

Ben -- right, I get the joke :)

Scientifically, you're wrong on both counts. No one's ancestor was a monkey (or satan, although the good reverend Falwell had me wondering for a while). It's a basic fact of evolution.

Unfortunately, "monkey's uncle" plays delightfully well with ignorant theists who can't afford to be troubled with the basic facts of the theory they're trying to refute.

While I'm at it, another thought experiment for the creationist. Take a picture of yourself at 1 years old and compare it to a picture of yourself today. Now explain to me why I should believe they're of the same person? I don't SEE any transitional pictures in there! Sure, that picture of you when you were 5 and 9 and 13 LOOK sort of similar, but that just means there are transitional gaps between THOSE pictures you still need to explain. Until you can document every second from birth to current form, I refuse to believe that a 6 foot tall adult could have POSSIBLY evolved from such a small thing as a baby. What part of this 6 foot tall adult can I remove to make a baby?!?!?! This 6 foot tall adult is irreducibly complex and therefore could never have never been a baby!

Yeah... that's how dumb creationists sound...

Thank you for getting the joke. I do know that, Yes, scientifically speaking, we are not descended from monkeys. Different species entirely, and at the same tail end of their eovlutionary paths. I know that. However, it is the popular conception, and without employing that, then i cannot reach my evolutionary destiny of being consistently witty.

sometimes science must give way to religion, as Benny the Ratz has so eloquently stated.

not at all...
It doesn't take church to teach me the way...it's between God and me and the truth that is provided through the word. When you have done your repentance than you can save others, you are no longer working for yourself but for the holy ghost. The variety of roles including witnessing of the Father and His Son, revealing the truth, cleansing sins, and giving us comfort and peace. "Satan" the dark spirit can sometimes manipulate you into takeing wrong actions based on worldly things, remember' these two forces are fighting for your soul...
The media would rather show voilence, Jezeble, and money. It often teache's the way's of man, rather than listen on God's command, the word says " suffer the children to come to me" it's not saying abused them...People should't critize if this child is being raised in a Godly way, he may have a point.
As for your comment about me going to church sunday, it doesn't take a sunday to talk to God, it is anytime, anywhere, anyplace..
I can use the bible as a step'in stone, or I can use the church...But like Obama said " When I feel these things,the pressure's and stress's of the world, I turn to God" they turn to blame and voilence.
I agree, I do the same.. the child on this vedio is crying out to people to repent, what is wrong with that. People should repent and get out of this mess, you want to know why it's a mess? cause the media allows a child to talk back and hit thier parents, they allow kids to get away with murder, they allow them guns so they can shoot other children in schools, the media and the government sells technology to ruin a child's mind, through vedio games, T.V and the Internet. That is evil and it is agianst Gods rule..only satan can do this to children before they get to know God..That is why there is so much hate and distruction. It starts with a baby sitter and a subsitute parent " the Machine".
Not to mention advertising your child on a pagent show, or porn. Let's talk about children in the movie industry,young actors suffering pressures from the media. Let's talk about the sex industry, food, drugs. I would rather see and hear something positive.

Oh God, not a Jack Thompson argument. Look, if Final Fantasy is supposed to mess me up so bad, what about the Bible? It's full of genocide, rape, human sacrafice, ghosts, and carpenters.

And I am not commenting on a child telling the truth. Why? Because it's not true. See, I can state my opinion like it's fact too, but that won't change your mind.

Anyway, Brandy, I don't want to be mean, but I have to seriously question your grip on reality. Since when has the news shown a story about guns in schools and NOT blamed it on exactly what you did? To the best of my knowledge, never. And you can't tell why this is wrong? He's SEVEN! He shouldn't have that much responsibility OR be exposed to that kind of environment! I mean, did you hear him? "Someone could pull a gun out and say 'stop preaching, or you're gonna die.'" Who in their right mind would make a child that age do these things knowing that they could be KILLED? And although I find that scenario highly unlikely, when I saw the mob scene towards the end, I was getting worried for him. I don't even know this kid, and I was afraid he was in danger. And what did his father do? Continue arguing with a bunch of PO'd city-dwellers about the nature of sin.

To me, that is wrong. To me, the reason why there is so much hate and destruction is because people refuse to take the time to understand others or take responsibility for things and blame the first thing they can think of. There was a school shooting? It was those evil videogames! The world trade center was bombed? Stupid Muslim [terrorists]! Germany's economy is crap? Exterminate the Jews!

Allow me to close with a question: let's say the situation had gotten out of control and, in the subsequent mob incident, the kid had been accidently killed? What would you say about his preaching then? That he died for the Lord?

(This post contains too much drama. I offer up the following, nonsensical word to break the tension: SPLAARGEEY!!!!)

The "parents" of thse poor kids should be locked up, and brainwashed to clean their sick minds.

It is hard to believe that even a natiion as vast as the USA can have such areas of deprivation so bad that this sort of corruption of children can occur and yet such centres of scientific advanced thought that led to NASA's achievements, to some of our modern physics, and to advanced medicine, but it cannot continue like that.

Uh-huh. That again. See, I'm sure by now you've figured out that religion gets under my skin a bit. And of all the things that irritate me about it, it would have to be this attitude:

"God is good and can do absolutely no wrong. No matter how much good humans do, they are evil at core, no exceptions."

IF the claims made by the Bible and its supporters were true, it would pretty much be the opposite. Humans ate from the tree, but who put the Fing tree there? I know the whole "God was testing them" thing, but to me, that sounds like a rather sadistic test.

But on a tangent, I also have to say this: you shouldn't be telling me to do MY research. These "true believers" were the perpetrators of a lot of these actions, as well. The Salem Witch Trials come to mind.

I am not going low at all. Without religious differences to fight over, the world wouldn't be devoid of conflict, of course, but there would certainly be much less of it. Heck, then pretty much all you have to fight over is territory.

But what was my original point? I think it got lost somewhere when you started ranting about white people (I find it interesting that you assume I'm white, incidently). Suffice to say it NEVER seems to be the religion's fault, even when the church and a majority of its supporters are in favor of the idea. Makes perfect sense.

As a 15 year old I believe that I am only just old enough to start making decisions towards religion. My parents always taught me to make my own decisions and I would say I am better for it. There is a difference between morals and being too scared to step out of line, people with morals carry out their actions with good intent, not because it has been enforced upon them to do so. I have no problem with parents discussing their opinions and views on religion with their children as mine do, but i think that forcing a child to believe something when they are too young to truly understand it is, for one, restricting but also cruel.

Quick comment in the interest of grammatical peace:

'Way up above in this thread, somebody complained about the use of the term "Bible Basher" in the blog title; Daniel then pointed out that it comes from the title of the documentary, thus his hands are tied. I would just like to add that in American English (which is not the only English in the world, as astonishing as some find that), to "bash" can mean to criticise something, i.e., "America-bashing". Meanwhile, Yanks call someone who thumps and whacks a Bible around to emphasise a shouted sermon a "Bible-beater" or a "Bible-thumper."

However, in Britain, the same person is called a "Bible basher"; the "bashing" here is literal, as in literally, physically abusing a defenceless book.

Hence the confusion.

With all due respect, how do you expect people almost on the other side of the planet to know every piece of British linguistics that there is?

Personally, I prefer American English. Colour just looks...wrong. But that is irrelevent.

The narrator's accent is clearly British, so this explanation makes sense. But again, "basher" is justified through kind of twisted logic. Then again, "thumper" means basically the same thing.

I don't think we could have a situation like this in Norway, we are pretty much going secular, I guess. Of course, we have our fundies here too, but I don't think this kind of child abuse could go on, if it became known to the authoroties around here.

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?

When did the actual life insurance industry started.
The main three steps required to take before getting a job from
SCC are the pre-exam, the exam and the interview. It is just as important to review
and adjust that death benefit each time your salary increases.
