Jesus Camp

Here is a link to the full movie on youtube : Link

What does everyone think about it? Personally, it's worrying to me.

I see it is no longer available but you can stiil watch clips.
I just saw the cardboard Bush and the Harry Potter must die clip.
Creepy?

I can't watch youtube from work so I haven't seen those. Anything like the "Harry Potter book burning" at a Baptist church a few years back? I still bring that one up in conversation.

While there are Christians like that in the U.S., I think that they are far the minority. It does put them in bad light though. The ironic thing is the ones that are presented there are pleased with the way they are presented.

Well said, goat.

So, Christians now have their fundamentalist terrorists. What can atheists / humanists bring to the table? Doesn't seem like a fair fight.

I think you are right it is not a fair fight.
Not many kill for atheism even if the atheist are doing the killing.
Killing for humanism seem kind of like an oxymoron.

I have in fact watched this movie and let me tell you this is a very scary movie. the pastor in this movie wants the kids she is teaching to have as much conviction as an islamic suicide bomber. Those are her words! To me this movie depicts an American version of a terrorist training camp. THe only thing they do not have yet is the guns, bombs, and hand to hand combat training.... YET! I am all for people practicing their religion but this women is mixing politics and religion into young impressionable minds. They are not teaching anything but hate in this camp.

THe good news is that the people that rented the land out to this preacher have kicked her off of the property and her church has made her stop the camp. Liberal and Moderate christians were offended by the way this preacher conducted her camp and the things she was teaching the children.

I am glad the shut that camp down.
Also, if you watch it listen to what these brainwashed children say. They think and are taught that people who believe in evolution are stupid and that science is all wrong. Great that is what we need from our future leaders of the world more closed minded bigots.

After watching this movie, I'd be about ready to pack up and run, don't walk, to Canada (or possibly somewhere even further away), except for one thing: I'm not sure how widespread these "Jesus Camps" and homeschooled Christian terrorists are.

My impression is, still, that the majority of people in the US -- yes, even Christians -- are basically secular. They go through the rituals every Sunday, but if you told them to strap on a bomb and lay down their lives for the Lord, they'd probably call the cops.

I would agree with this that these people are the minority of all christians. But, this can be true of muslims and any other religion. But, to think that some christians would go this far shows everyone in this faith just how bad any and all religious convictions are.
To explain you have moderates, liberals, fundamentalist, and radicals in every faith on the planet. While the religion may start out as being radical and then over time transform into moderate/liberal at some point it will revert back to the radical because people will feel they have lost the true path and once this happens they think god is telling them to kill in his name innocent people. But, the really scary thing is that to the radical no one is innocent because they are not following the path of god and therefore are fair game.
