Am I being oversensitive in thinking that proclaiming "We saved x amount children" kinda creepy? I mean what do they tell these kids anyway?
Sounds like Christ complex or sinful pride. Remind her that only Jebus can save!

Um...is there anything about Xianity that ISN'T creepy? Let's see...

1)Human sacrifice (with some torture beforehand)

2)Cannabilism (this my body, eat up!)

3)Eternal torment for nonmembers.

4)We are all "as filthy rags" groveling etc.

5)Global genocide (even the kittens and puppies :eek )

6)Ethnic cleansing (wipe out those damn Canaanites!)

The whole thing is sort of creepy and WooWoo! No?

I didn't think Cthulu had anything to do with Satanism?

My university has a large fundee enrollment, and those flyers around campus for stating, "Christian support group meeting on Wednesdays at Chaple by the Lake Church," really bother me.:banghead:
'Course it'd be funny if you could go change the signs to say, "Get involved, time for VD's!"
