Oh, Sonny. You have a heart of gold. <3

Sorry. I'm biased. :P

I'll watch the video and let you know what I think afterwards.

ok I'm about halfway through this.

The main problem is that movements like these seem based on emotional appeal. Now I'm not against emotion, it's a valid way to experience the world, but it's not enough in and of itself. Without a solid philosophy and theology behind it the movement will not be sustainable because it will have to perpetually ignore reason.

There's also the idea that spontaneity is more authentic, likening the disciples to pop-culture icons.

Of course there are good things in there, but like most things, it's mixed with bad things.

They sure do make a point to always preach how other Christians what it wrong and they have it so right.

And if I could get a message to the speaker, DUH! Theology of the Body.

[indent=1]Seriously though, can't stand emotion based appeals more than anything else. It's not authentic Christianity to me, just the sort of manipulation that eventually churns out more Atheists who feel they were emotionally abused by Christians.[/indent]

EXACTLY.

Furthermore, the inability of these movements to understand nuance. Murder is an evil act, unlike killing which can be acceptable in some situations, like killing a cow or killing someone who is trying to kill you.

But then again the word "murder" is totally more bad-arse and hard-core than the word "kill."

Yes! What I have found interesting over the years is that have to try to spruce up the wording to appeal to emotion. I have been to my fair share of Christian hard rock concerts, e.g. Cornerstone Festival. And they are very careful to not sound "churchy".

The use of the words murder and kill interchangeably is a big pet peeve of mine. A few secular comedy writers that I read do that, I suppose for the added impact, but it's so, so wrong.

Because murder is always wrong, but killing is not.

Let's just make up a fictitious example... a journalist gets lost in some desert in the Middle East and gets attacked by a group of guys intent on either taking him hostage or killing him if he resists. He's right to resist, with deadly force if need be.
Let's say he's got a gun with him too, and he's some kind of action movie hero.
It would be wrong to say "the journalist murdered five armed kidnappers." Not only wrong, IMO if we're talking about a real person that would be slanderous. It would be correct to say "the journalist killed five armed kidnappers."
When people make that mistake, I don't think they usually intend it maliciously, but it's such a pet peeve of mine because it contributes to people not understanding the difference, or even knowing that a difference exists.

To me, this video demonstrates why I think Catholicism is the only thing that can be taken seriously.
