Amish

One of the really weirdo Christian groups. Seems like these silly people have the same sort of problems other Christian groups have about theological intolerance: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44805882/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/#.To410t7rUvl To put the Amish in the proper perspective, here's an instructional video:

I can appreciate them for their strong Christian beliefs, but they're way too strict for me.

They are very quiet and  peaceful people.

I guess it doesn't matter what we rate them there never going to read this.

I would have to say the Amish are very God fearing people, that are trying their best to be in Gods will!  I will admit that I don't agree with some of their extremes, but I would say that they are allot closer to the Bible, than allot of the Churches in this world today!!!

Snappy dressers.

Just goofy. get over it, it's 2006

There's a lot to admire about the Amish: they live in harmony with the land, they live a healthy lifestyle, and they keep their distance from a society increasingly characterized by the worship of money, material goods, and a moronic popular culture that encourages self-destructive behavior while elevating ordinary people (and often sub-ordinary freaks) to the status of celebrity gods. While stygmatized by most Americans as a fossilized relic of pre-industrial times, the average Amish individual, family and community are far healthier than their mainstream counterparts. In particular, they treat their children and old people far better than Americans do, not leaving them to vegetate in front of the TV or sending them to live in tomb-like nursing homes. Amish farming practices are exemplary, eschewing the destructive practice of dumping fertilizer, pesticides, and other deadly chemicals; neither do they use wasteful oil-powered, capital-intesive machinery that exhausts the soil and p...

Overrated Medieval-esque philosophy that gets a free ride. . .they aren't as cute or innocent as we think. Domestic violence, women's issues, and genetic disorders (lack of genetic diversity) are serious issues swept under the rug and ignored. It's the 21rst century. . .at least act like it's the 20th century. And if you've ever driven through Lancaster county- it smells like sh#t.

An Amish woman's fantasy is two Mennonite.........

I think this is just another case of aberrant doctrine gone to seed - where one or two scriptures were taken out of context and some persuasive someone back in the 19th century ran with it. From what I hear they really don't bother anyone or try to convert people to their way of thinking and basically lead quiet lives. According to some recent documentaries however, they aren't quite as squeaky clean as one might imagine. Apparently during their teen/young adult years they're known to do some pretty raucous partying most, if not all of which, is overlooked by their elders.
