I know many atheists that are socially active and very good people.
Everybody with a gram of whit in his head knows whats right or wrong, no need for an illusory god figure.

The internet has allowed all, including the "critical thinking mind" to investigate any subject deemed important to them...those who have been "indoctrinated" by religion are going to have a more difficult time dealing with the flood of info (whether it be accurate or not),....and,... as such,... are more inclined to revert back to their "programmed" way of thinking...

Independent thought is a valuable commodity, and is vehemently discouraged by many religious groups...

Do not be dissuaded by those that promote obedience...

If you can't laugh at all of this...

apparently, YouTube has censored the video across their entire site, that's why I was having such a hard time finding it to repost.

Luckily, the creator of the documentary has now put a new version up, along with a copy of it on vimeo.com in case youtube takes it down again.

Here is an article discussing the censorship of the video, with links to the new copies:

www.talk2action.org...


Sarah Palin's churches are actively involved in a resurgent movement that was declared heretical by the Assemblies of God in 1949. This is the same 'Spiritual Warfare' movement that was featured in the award winning movie, "Jesus Camp," which showed young children being trained to do battle for the Lord. At least three of four of Palin's churches are involved with major organizations and leaders of this movement, which is referred to as The Third Wave of the Holy Spirit or the New Apostolic Reformation. The movement is training a young "Joel's Army" to take dominion over the United States and the world.


and here's the new vid!


here's the copy of it on vimeo:

and here is another article regarding the censorship of the video:

www.huffingtonpost.com...


ast Sunday our research team released a video, a ten-minute mini-documentary, focusing on the Wasilla Assemblies of God and the video seemed on the verge of a massive "viral" breakthrough when YouTube pulled it down, citing "inappropriate content."

At the point the video was censored by YouTube it had been viewed by almost 160,000 people. The short of it is that YouTube has censored a video documentary that appeared to be close to having an effect on a hard fought and contentious American presidential election.

More details on this church!



Apparently the preacher she was referring to that gave her a blessing has been involved in active witch hunts. Yes, actual witch hunts - as in, going after fortune tellers and etc. for bringing curses on communities.

Edit: He held many sermons (see below) at the Wasilla Church where Palin attends, while she was getting ready to become governor. The fact that she has mentioned this person after the fact - and commended him, speaks volumes about what she believes to be acceptable in terms of religious faith vs personal freedoms.

some elaboration on the above:
www.alternet.org...


According to the Christian Science Monitor, six months of fervent prayer and research identified the source of the witchcraft as a local woman called Mama Jane, who ran a "divination" center called the Emmanuel Clinic.

Her alleged involvement in fortune-telling and the fact that she lived near the site of a number of fatal car accidents led Muthee to publicly declare her a witch responsible for the town's ills and order her to offer her up her soul for salvation or leave Kiambu.

Says the Monitor, "Muthee held a crusade that 'brought about 200 people to Christ.'" They set up around-the-clock prayer intercession in the basement of a grocery store and eventually, says the pastor, "the demonic influence -- the 'principality' over Kiambu -- was broken," and Mama Jane fled the town.


and here is a site that lists all of the sermons the preacher held at the church, that were removed from the Church's website as soon as Palin was announced as a running mate. Obviously, someone thought it would be a PR nightmare. So much for separation of church and state, and so much for transparency and honesty.

if you go to the Wasilla Assembly of God web site now, all these sermons are gone. They’ve been erased. Even the page they were listed on is gone. They were taken offline right after Sarah Palin’s vice presidential campaign was announced.

Also erased from the Wasilla Assembly of God site is any mention of Thomas Muthee. The following message was there as recently as August 25th:

“Bishop Thomas Muthee from Kenya
We were honored to have Bishop Thomas Muthee from Kenya, Africa with us. He has planted and oversees over 400 churches, and has a powerful ministry from God. You are encouraged to listen and watch these special messages from him.”

Now, that message is gone. It’s erased - even though Thomas Muthee is coming to the Wasilla Assembly of God church this weekend for a series of special sermons.
