Who of you here have seen the movie "Jesus Camp"
 

I'm a God a fearing man. I may not agree with the biblical account of things, but I believe there is something out there greater than me for sure. One thing I believe with the utmost fervor is the separation between church and state. Watch this movie and see what the United States is really up against. This movement is exactly what the extremist muslims are doing to their children, and the evangelicals are using the same justification to indoctrinate their kids.

That was one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.

That camp was finally shut down, but indeed it was a very scary movie.

Dang, crazy... Religions scare me.

What's that now?

Keep in mind that for morality to even exist, you must find extremes on both ends


This is just America's Taliban.

I"ve wanted ot see it for a while, I'll go check it out

seen it... fucking crazy shit

The most ironic part is that those people that send their kids to that camp are likely the same ones that didn't want their kids to see Obama speaking in their schools.

I've seen it and it's pretty scary.
Those poor kids are totally brain-washed. Just like the Prussian Blue girls and the Phelps family.

It's pretty sad, because some of those kids are actually smart and charismatic. A waste.

Can you tell me why it was shut down? I'd love to know why.
thx

That movie made me feel so sad for those poor kids.

I don't have kids so I really never realized how impressionable they are. Watching those kids being so easily indoctrinated really opened my eyes. They will believe anything you tell them. For some reason I just assumed kids never listen to what anyone ever tells them, but that's not the case. It's so fucking sick to take advantage of that.

edit: The camp wasn't really shut down. After the attention the land owners didn't want to have them on their property and they haven't found anyone else to host it.

That's what is scary! That kid with the bad haircut, he's a smart one. I'd love to see a follow up with him in 10 years. He's either going to climb up the ranks of the evangelicals, or he will really get a god smack when he hits puberty and is alloted a little more freedom and see's how the world really operates.

The one really scary thing this kid said was, "I turned to god at age 5 because I knew there was something more to life than what I have experienced. I knew there was a greater purpose." I was like, dude, you're 5. What do you know about life at that age. Hell, I'm 36 and still don't have even a small % of lifes answers. But yet at 5, he knew that life has, porports to have a transmundane element to it. Genius? Perhaps. Brainwashed.. Most likley.

Because of the negative reaction from the film.

TY very much :)

I know I am in the minority but Jesus Camp didn't shock me at all. It was just like any of the many bible school sessions I had been to growing up but just slightly more extreme. At church as a kid, there were always a couple Jesus freak kids that could quote every verse of the bible while the rest of us just went to socialise. The Jesus freak kids were usually the first to have mental breakdowns or get pregnant too.

THAT movie sent me through a entire slew of emotions, anger being in the top 3 of them mind you, I'm ALL FOR people who believe in whatever they choose to believe BUT to me it comes down to a matter of CHOICE, and what those parents did to those children is down right child abuse!

I also got allot of GREAT laughs at the things that becky did and said, she TRIED to tout herself as such a godly person and yet she butchered some of the "10 commandments" right on camera.

"Thou shall not bare false witness" "Thou shall not bow to graven images" just to name two, she also was a big fan of the seven deadly sins "gluttony" "Vanity" just to name a few.

To march those kids in front of the whitehouse with tape on their mouths for an anti abortion rally is just insane, to brainwash them and have them bowing to a cardboard cutout of Bush.... ditto, and last but not least, the whole working them up into such a frenzy that they are sobbing :( that shit is just not right, faith or no faith!

And "The kid with a bad haircut" AKA Levi... 10 years from now I would bet you do see him in the news... or a wanted poster.

The Christian DJ said it best, they are building an army!

(I did however get a chuckle out of that "wrestler" dude the one who led the tape on mouth rally... I just loved his mouth reminded me of an 1980's wrestler lol.

but overall the movie scared the shit out of me!

-Loki-

Nothing more than what is taught in the Sunday schools of "Holy Roller" churches across the nation.

religion is the perfect brainwash tool.

I sure hope you aren't saying that morality is impossible without religion... because that is quite retarded. That is probably the #1 fallback for the religious to argue in defense of their religion. I am always astounded when I actually hear it being used.

That about sums it up!

Thats one way to look at it, however, you could also deduce it because of the gay sex scandal surrounding him? lol

Those types get too much attention and they run to hide... no one wants their children being preached to by preacher with ties to gay sex escorts using meth LOL

saw it. Someone here has a cool mashup animated gif of that one girl and then the t rex head and techo colored lights flashing. Always makes me laugh.

Wild movie for sure.

just saw it... it's munki that has it in his sig. awesome.

That movie just made me so sad when I watched it a while ago. Haven't had the ability to watch it again.

On a side note, Religulous was a great movie. Bill Maher is kind of in your face sometimes, but it was amazing to see him verbally confronting people about their religions, something almost all people are scared to do.

very scary movie indeed

No doubt about that was scary shit...talk about child abuse....wow man

Quoted for TRUTH!!!!!!!!

Yea, I went to church every sunday, then it went from bible school, to service, then the evening service too. Then vacation bible school every summer. I even went to a "jesus camp" myself, but protested so bad my parents had to pick me and my brother up. I laid the law down by age 12, and my mom laid off. My dad really wasnt too religious, he just didnt want to hear it from my mom lol. But after my dad passed, my mom went back to school, and is now an lcsw and see's the world much differently now. I don't blame her for her misguided fervor, It is, however, the butt of jokes at the dinner table.

But, I was baptised catholic, (so i guess i am always catholic by church law) but was raised born again christian, which, is like evangelical lite. I was born a skeptic, however, and asked many questions, and you could tell they didn't like that. Especially versus that advocate slavery, or how god is angry and jealous, and how jesus said, that he has not come to bring peace on earth, but a sword. Stuff like that I would inquire about, and they didnt have the answer.
