Kirk Cameron and I have had our disagreements in the past. Indeed, we've almost settled the question: are we both human? No resolution yet on the gender question yet.
Actually Kirk and I disagree, respectfully on my part at least, when it comes to religion and more importantly: proselytizing your religion. I'm not one who feels you must go forth and convert the masses. K Cameron on the otherhand feels differently. Like so much of the bible, when skillfully read, you can make the point in either direction.
More importantly though, Kirk and I disagree on this nation. Which is HUGE. I am under the impression that separation of church and state established an important division of labour between the management of law in our nation and the adherence to your religious backing (either of g-d, al-ah, or other religious entity of preference). In doing so, not only was it established that religions of all works were free to coexist in this new union, but that the religion of not having one and even an ambivalence/lack of practicing a religion could exist peacefully. In exchange, the laws of the nation would be dictated by the people, not the religion.
In truth the second half (the laws of men not religion) is difficult to achieve completely. As it happens, when a rapid crowd believes fervently that... you cannot sell alcohol on Sundays, have your gay relationship recognized, adopt a child out of wedlock, or run a grocery store on the Sabbath (whichever day that is for your religion) - they tend to make laws that reflect this EVEN IF they are well aware that others (quite possibly a silent majority of the nation) do not agree with them.
And so too is my problem with K Cameron: he believes so much in his version of his faith that he feels the need to share it always and actively with others even to the suppression of rights for those that disagree with him. Now i have no issue with him having his beliefs, or sharing them. There is however a fine line between sharing what you feel is the truth and converting the masses to your brand of thought by force. (Which some might feel Nichts Besonderes does as well - except I am happy to agree to disagree with you on just about everything (civil equality notwithstanding obviously).
His latest escapade is an effort to persuade people to his ideology in a method that is not entirely honest. Rather than bore you with more words, here is a video clip on the subject. You can find his version out there too. Enjoy:
