Cute. Kinda silly at times too. Christianity still creeps me out though.

I have to admit I get freaked out when people do things like talk about Satan as some great supernatural enemy that's out there trying to mess with everything, then identify people or things as being in cahoots with Satan. Its all too easy to split everything into two with some simple conception of good and evil. That's what made me a little uncomfortable with the video. The "Jesus is way cool" stuff was odd too. I mean, yeh, he was, but there is sincerity and pretentiousness. Some of things being said sounded a bit pretentious while at other times the speakers were just obviously having a great time or looking for faith and meaning.

To each his own opinion. I find the idea of looking at humans as only "dirty and selfish" as a little extreme, but, eh, what are you going to do? I just hope the kids and bands are having fun.

Ok, I watched it, so what do I win? LOL
The whole thing bother me. It felt like they misappropriated modern sub-culture, twisted it into a shadow of it's former self, repackaged it in sanitized cartons and resold it. But, oh yea, welcome to capitalism, if it will sell...it's all good. Besides the cultural rant, anyone bothered by the militant theme in a religious festival? I couldn't even identify which doctrine the organizer identified with. So many things I could easily take issue with. Sense when does appealing to "coolness" work as a conversion tool? Just how deep can a person's faith be when their just trying to be "cool"? The argument for conversion...how extreme has someone gone for you? WOW.

*holds up sign*
I NEED FASTER INTERNET! I gather it is the same sort of theme from "Jesus Camp?" That movie freaked me out.
