The Power Team

I found this idea of "The Power Team" to be very corny.  I like to think of myself as christian and even though I do not attend church, I still have my own beliefs.  I think that religion should be personal and you should believe what you truly feel inside instead of believing what people tell you to believe.  There's nothing I loathe more then people who try to push things upon others when they are clearly not interested.  I think that people who do not have much self esteem or are weaker mentally then others fall victim to being pushed into things instead of standing their ground on their own beliefs.  This is why I thought The Power Team was very cheesy and pushy.  This article reminded me of a documentary call Jesus Camp.  It was about Evangelist children that are raised ultra super conservative Evangelist christian, taught that if something that does not have to do with God they should not it and shipped off to a camp of crazies that pound God into their heads, most of the time to the point where these young children cry because they think they have be touched by God.  If you want a good laugh, I would suggest watching it.  I was shocked, much like I was by this article that talked about how these guys get people to believe in God by showing their amazing "strength" and saying that god gave them these gifts.  When really, these feats are actually fixed and its all a show and people with low self esteem feel like these people really connect with them and therefore they want to belong.  When really, they should learn to become independent and learn to think for themselves.
