Lord, save us from your followers

     Boy, this was interesting.  It started with a man named Dan Merchant, who wore a white jumpsuit with religious bumper stickers all over it, and asked people which ones were their favorites.  He also asked what others thought of when they heard the word Jesus or Christianity.  Some of the replies were kind of sad to hear on how some people perceive Christians.
     I remember him saying something like, if we were called Christ-likes instead of Christains, maybe we would try to act more like Christ.  I liked that statement because I think we would in a way try harder.  I found it quite surprising on how much non-Christians knew about Christians in that game show.  I felt bad because I know I would have done the same thing.  I want to be able to defend my beliefs by knowing others beliefs better. 
     I enjoyed the part when he had a confessional booth in the middle of the gay pride week.  Since when does God hate gays?  It took some courage to do what he did.  Poor little Roger.  I think that's really sad, what they did to him, but then I think about how the guys that were bullying him probably weren't Christians so it didn't have any effect on them.  I am glad I got to watch this film.
