Jesus Camp

[azsouthendzone]

I just saw this doc on A & E about the religious right training their kid soldiers. This movie is unreal. Anyone seen this?

I've seen it. It's really sad that this goes on anywhere in the world, but that it happens in America is all the more disturbing. I don't want to start a religious discussion here, so I won't say more.

Saw this as well. One could say that there was a lot of brainwashing going on.

Utterly disturbing.

Terrifying

Terrifying.....That part when they are talking about Harry Potter and witches is just crazy....People are losing their minds all over the world....This movie will scare you more than anything out there...

There is no explicit Biblical age of accountability, but the Jewish tradition of Bar/Bat Mitzvah is believed to be based on some Mosaic principle of a general age of accountability ... basically around the time the hormones start bouncing around their bodies like a meteor storm.

Anyway you look at it, these kids are wayyyyyyy too young to make a conscious decision of faith. I'm a conservative Evangelical and even I was creeped out by this documentary.

Recently watched it. Definitely a creepy film. I really dug Levi's mullet though, that was pretty impressive. "we're kick'n it for Christ!", funny song. I don't subscribe to any organized religion, but I sometimes wonder what Jesus would think of these people if he did come back.

In November 2006, a male prostitute alleged that Pastor Ted Haggard (president of the National Association of Evangelicals) had paid him for sex for three years and had also purchased and used crystal methamphetamine. Haggard acknowledged some of the allegations and was removed from all of his leadership positions in religious organizations, including the church he founded.

For some reason, this just doesn't surprise me at all.

Terribly, terribly creepy. It borders on child abuse. 5 thumbs down to these people. And with apologies to the mods, if there is such a thing as a "Christian Taliban," this film exposes it.
