I just can't go along and call someone a wacko based off of a series of basically positive statements. Bear in mind that you basically consider ALL religion extreme that asserts itself in any way and most of the population would look at the same video and shrug. I basically look at someone's religion and determine whether or not it basically has a positive message or not. If she was making statements about victimhood, terrorizing someone, or killing people, I would wholeheartedly agree with you. I think a lot of it is that you may not know the inner workings of various degrees of Calvinism, which is basically a theology that says that all things are willed by God. I don't agree with it, but I don't condemn something because I simply don't understand it.
