I'm talking stuff like Kids Praise and Bibleman, where it's really awkward and somewhat creepy. Anyone know of any good ones?
Nope, not as a child, but I did see an hour and thirty something long movie: Jesus Camp. Now that is creepy!
I watched this as an adult, and I was quite disturbed by it.
no, my mum sent me to Sunday school when I was very young. I hated normal school so this really pissed me off. I watched animal programs from a very early age and was brought up with dogs so was I was effectively a none believer before I ever could become a believer. it never did make sense to me.
Although I am a massive science fiction lover, I still can not bring myself to sit through Battlestar Galactica, its overly religious connotations were cringe inducing.
The original or the reboot? The reboot is awesome. The original blows chunks.
The original, I tried to be open minded and give it a second chance, but it was a brief lapse in judgement. I agree chunky bits galore.
Davey and Goliath was truly creepy that is until I saw the parody of it on SNL. I just loved it when Goliath tells Davy its time to cleanse the city.
The most truly creepy one I have seen is one called Veggie Tales it is just sick.
My personal tastes in religious kids shows is Moral Oral; or maybe it isn't for kids at all.
Fortunately "Veggie Tales" was well after my time. I received plenty of indoctrinating audio-video material growing up, to be sure, but tv specifically, not so much. Adult shows, yes, like Pat Robertson's 700 Club and James Dobson's Focus on the Family. My mom banned Bewitched from the house--makes me laugh to think of it. She would have done the same to the Harry Potter series, I'm sure, but that was decades later. In my early teens, I went with my church youth group to a Bill Gaither (sp?) revival-style youth rally at the Seattle King Dome. I remember him railing against the evils of secular pop music, with its "backward masking" Satanic subliminal messages. That was pretty creepy.
I never saw Elizabeth Montgomery in the Twilight Zone, but I do now possess Bewitched compilation dvds.
I watched Davy and Goliath-I was brought up Jewish and didn't catch onto the messaging till years later.
