we often talk about the wrong and the damage of religion, and I feel the need to focus on the positive. I think this video embodies all those qualities that are the good in religion.

That video reminds me of those comedians called God's Pottery.

The churches are big on making sure children are taught to respect their elders. That's a good thing. With churches you can't throw the baby out with the bath water. But I gotta say, one thing I can't stand about evangelical churches is that the people there seem to want to pry into your personal life a bit too much.
I'll never forget the day my CD label (I did graphic design work for a church) was rejected because the underwear line of a man whose picture I used on the label was showing. I mean...seriously!?! I didn't even notice it, but the guy in charge of their Media dept. noticed it and sat me down to have a serious discussion about pornography.
He said that by using a photo of a woman's panty lines showing is not appropriate and could cause someone to have impure thoughts. I was like, "uh, that's a man on that label."
I can't help but wonder if he was the one with impure thoughts over the label.

not entirely. it can easily be mistaken for "never question."

I'm not going to get into a long drawn out argument with you over it, C_b. But in my experience everything depends on the church, and in turn, it depends on the children.

Like I said, it depends. If you're interested in what's right with the church, do some research on the Barmen Declaration.

i don't see something like the barmen declaration as describing what's right with the church, but what's right with mankind.
