Hi,
I just saw the documentary 'Jesus Camp' and was wondering if anyone here as also seen it? Now for some follow-up questions..
What did you think of it? Did you agree with anything the people were saying? Or would you put them in the fundamentalist grouping?
Personally, i felt the people the documentary was about were extremists who give Christianity a bad name. I mean the people were really nutjobs.. They sincerely believe global warming isnt happening, George Bush is a "man of God", and that is their job to convert EVERYONE to their religion. Of course they also believe the whole "being born again" drivel. I mean, personally, i think everyone has the right to practice whatever religion they want. However, they should not try and force their views on others. lol, there was even a bit in the movie where a girl claimed that God wouldnt be in churches (such as ours), but rather God only attends churches where people are screaming out his name, singing loudly, cheering, clapping etc. The whole thing made me laugh.. Especially since our Church has its ancient traditions etc..
Anyway, i hope that hasnt all sounded like rambling...
Please i hope anyone else can give their feedback from that documentary because it really quite annoyed me and i would be interested in hearing any other opinions.
Matt

SYNOPSIS
A growing number of Evangelical Christians believe there is a revival underway in America whereby Christian youth must take up the leadership of the conservative Christian movement.
JESUS CAMP, directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (The Boys of Baraka), follows Levi, Rachael, Tory and a number of other young children to Pastor Becky Fischer's Kids on Fire summer camp in Devil's Lake, North Dakota, where kids as young as 6 years-old are taught to become dedicated Christian soldiers in God's army. The film follows these children at camp as they hone their prophetic gifts and are schooled in how to take back America for Christ. The film is a first-ever look into an intense training ground that recruits born-again Christian children to become an active part of America's political future.
Enjoy,
Matt
