I've seen the movie....its actually kind of disturbing. :| I mean they like completely brainwashed these kids. The kids walk up to random people and say "Hello, I am a representative of God, and he wants you to know that he loves you and has a plan for you. Now take this brochure." or something like that.

No thank you, I don't believe in mini-hitler youth camps. ^_^

Does the same thing... brainwashing. Sigh...

Another fine reason why I don't like religion. Always trying to brainwash other people. *sigh* Sometimes I wonder...

It definitely puts me on edge when it comes to joking about my Jesus Camp heritage, so to speak.

My parents and grandparents work in christian youth camping. They're actually pretty respected. I'm friends with a lot of my Mom's coworkers and they're all christian camp staff. When we saw a promo for this movie we cried and were embarassed.

It's frustrating to say the least. My Mom offered to give me a ride down to the local theatre and apologize to anyone who came out of the movie. We didn't but as an executive program director of a camp, it's nice to know we're on a similar page.

Yeah...I'm sure the people have good intentions but that's just now how my vision of evangelizing works.

No wonder... it should have been. No one should use this film as an example of what they think all christians are like.

That being said I don't oppose radical Christianity. In fact I think Christians should be radical for God. However extreme indoctrination of children is something I frown upon. The main thing that irks me about Jesus Camp is their emphasis on political activism. What part of "seperation of Church and state" do people not understand?

Agreed. Like you said Ross, the politcalness of theis is indeed what would annoy me if I watched this film.

Just like extreme muslims should blow people up?
