But they did, and that was the whole point of the song. It was about the man, not the ideas. That's obvious.

By what you're saying, would you consider a song about Jesus merely to be a song about being nice to people? If so, it shouldn't be a problem for a teacher to lead children in that song, because everybody believes in being nice to people, right?

Sure.

I believe in equality, don't you? Whether Jesus or Obama said so.

It creeped me out also. It reminded me of that scene from Jesus Camp.

I have school age children and they can't be filmed unless I give the okay it's a ****ing Federal/State and Local Law(s).

Do you really want to have this discussion I'm a Parent are you?

So just provide a link referencing the statute you are referring to. If you're right, its an easy win.

Actually, the law is that you can't use people in films that are going to make money. If people happen to be in your Niagara falls vacation recordings or your tape of little Johnny's school play, there's nothing they can do about that.

What difference does it make? Has nothing to do with why this vid is a creep-fest.
