Deep Thoughts. Flashbunny.org - Deep Thoughts - another great pro-freedom Flash animation.
First, they went after the smokers,
But I said nothing, because I didn't smoke.
Next they went after the SUV owners.
But I said nothing, because I didn't own an SUV.
Then they went after the fast food companies.
But I said nothing, because I didn't like fast food.
Finally, they went after the gun owners.
Which was a big mistake. Because, hey, we have guns.
Stand up for freedom.
Even if it's a freedom you don't like. Other good new (to me) animations: Gun Control Heroes, Not About Hunting, Gun Show Loophole. [End the War on Freedom]

Evangelicalism's serious weakness: anti-intellectualism:
Many of those who fell away fit into a similar pattern. On one hand, they resented the repressive narrowness of their upbringings, but they also appreciated the many good aspects. The main issue was with the world of ideas: No longer were they protected, sheltered children, reading the propaganda of Hannah More. They were now thinking adults in the real world, reading the assaults of atheists, agnostics, and occultists. Their parents and their church had not provided answers to such attacks on their faith. Nor had they trained their children in the critical examination of the Biblical worldview vs. other worldviews, which would have provided them with the tools to find answers for themselves. The result was a severe 'conversion' crisis, but this time a conversion away from faith to atheism or agnosticism.

THE ULTIMATE DISCOVERY
I cannot believe that God would write a law of "saving by sacrifice" within our hearts and evade it Himself... The old Chinese scholar was right who, after listening for the first time to a missionary telling the story of the loving sacrifice of God through His Son on the cross, turned to one of his pupils and said: "Didn't I tell you there ought to be a God like that?" The leaders of the world's religions stumble over this. A leading Muslim said recently during a television debate: "A God who would stoop and suffer is not perfect." And a Hindu commented: "If Brahman would suffer He would be unhappy, and if He were unhappy He would be imperfect, and if He were imperfect He would not be God." The cross spells out the message that God is prepared to take into Himself the suffering caused by sin and, indeed, to take on Himself the very sins of the ones He created. No other religion can conceive of such a thing.
