Ok, call me a fatalist, but who cares what the people with negative comments are saying? Shit, its a group of people getting together, obviously having a good time, and not breaking any laws. Let them think they are the strongest, because honestly in their worlds with the people they've met, they probably are some of the strongest people they've ever met. Who cares?
I personally don't like ANYONE trying to shove religious bullshit down my throat, but as a "Northerner" from rural Missouri living in the deep south and as someone who's lived in Kentucky, has had family in Tennessee, and who has lived in Ohio, and now living where I do, there are a whole lot of people out there who get off on the Jesus and strength thing. As far as I'm concerned, I just don't give a shit. Its not worth making fun of them or trying to point out where they may be wrong because they won't listen and all they are going to do is present circular arguments that in their mind prove themselves right, but honestly, in my experience, just end up with me getting pissed off------over something stupid.
If you want to really do something, go to Ohio, or Tennesee, or Kentucky where these guys are "performing" and lift more than they do. Hold the crosses for a minut longer, throw the big stone around, prove it with actions. Thats the only way that you'll change anything with them or the Jesus Freaks supporting them.
Otherwise you are just wasting your time. Its a difference of opinion you won't change.
I personally shake my head at what they say, but still watch the "shows of strength" because they are entertaining. I get a good laugh out of them.
