Jesus Camp

[Brian SD]

Quite possibly the most intriguing trailer I've ever seen.

don't you know, we are all born into sin.

i'm curious about the movie too, but like others have said, it reminds me a little too much of my childhood...not the parts i like to remember.

That place is seriously freaky. They are raising fanatical kids who are simply repeating verbatim what they've been told.

Did you see how excited those 10 year olds were to give their lives up for Jesus? How is that any different from a muslim suicide bomber wanting to give up his life?

I think this is sort of connected to how I said in another thread that people need to do their own research before accepting what those in authority tell them about religion. What is especially disturbing in this scenario though is that these kids aren't old enough to analyize what they're being told.

Those are just some thoughts that I had while watching the trailer, the movie could be different from how I percieved it (hopefully)...

Seen from Europe, I think this could make for even worse publicity for the US than the Michael Moore films. "Fanatically religious fat Americans..." - ooooohh...
