I found it terrifying. If you are into movies like this I also suggest God's Next Army:

A frightening documentary on Patrick Henry College where fundies are trained to work inside our government to create a theocracy. To nobody's surprise this is already being implemented in Bush's regime.
Watch it online:

If god takes life he's an indian giver
Unfortunately, one closed, at least a thousand to go.
I went to one of these when I was a kid. They're nothing new, but they're getting scarier. When I was a kid, it was all focused on having a good personal relationship with Jesus. Now, they're starting to resemble the Nazi propaganda camps for kids... very politicized.
(sorry for the Nazi reference. I just couldn't think of any other political indoctrination camps off the top of my head)

No, the Nazi reference is a perfect one. These people believe that they are better than others and are willing to segregate and eventually kill off as many as are needed, according to their religious leaders.
It's a terribly sick and terrifying thing.
Imagine what these kids are going to grow up into.
I still have hope for those kids. I'm sure while watching Jesus Camp I spotted the occasional kid have a moment of lucidity and get a "what the hell am I doing here?" look on their face.
Although, those who do grow up to reject that nonsense are going to be really ashamed of themselves if they ever see that film.
Oh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. I'm-My-Own-Grandpa!
I felt particularly sorry for the dancer girl. She's already discovering sexuality, and it's being ripped from her and perverted, and she's either going to end up a raging promiscuous freak, or a frigid wife, or both. I've seen it happen to so many women. It makes me very angry.

That bit is what prompted my "Sex and Ceremony" post in AvT.
What really made me dissapointed was the kid with the rat tail.
"So what made you want to be saved?"
"Well, at the age of 5... I just wanted more out of life."
... What? More out of life... at 5?
Also, the crazy smiled preachers interaction with the kid was terrible. The biggot put the kid down and told him off.
Geez! I can't believe I hadn't heard of this movie, yet there are several videos on YouTube about it, including news reports. I just watched the trailer, and it's really creepy. It's brainwashing!
I liked the Bill Maher clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=309MCU8TonE
I usually like what Bill has to say, anyway. (Although I often disagree with him on various topics, as well.)
However, this is hilarious:

The crazy bitch goes off on Harry Potter!
At one point, one of the kids points out that another kid looks like Harry Potter. I was scared for a moment they might lynch him

Guys, always remember not to tell ghost stories at camp because it's a work of the devil and gets our minds away from God.
The logic behind that made me re-watch that little bit four times.
I love this response from a Christian...and he's pretty funny in some of the things he says about these lunatics:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F8z80pD5JESorry to keep posting in this thread, but I want to comment on something else I noticed: There's a user with the username Marzett918 who posted the same Bible quotes in the comments section of several of these Jesus Camp videos. I've begun marking them as spam.

They should show 'Jesus Camp' in the dentist's office, the dentist will never have to say "Open" since you jaw will be dropped the entire time.
