Jesus Camp

[MattP]

I saw the movie Jesus Camp today and I have to say it was the scariest movie I have ever seen, to think a generation of children are being raised to be "soldiers" is just horrible. If anyone has a chance to see it in the next couple of weeks as it rolls out I highly recommend it. It gives you a great look at what these people are doing to their children and how twisted they really are.

He said he was SCARED TO DEATH by it!

3. Just the Jesus Camp ads here on DU

are seriously creeping me out. It is mind-boggling that these fanatics don't have even the tiniest bit of insight into the weird shit they are imposing on their kids. It's as disgusting as it is scary.

6. Did you notice that ....

The camp was in "Devils Lake" and she drove a Blazer? Too funny. Lets ride the Blazer to Devils Lake.

I saw the film at the Traverse City Film Festival. Afterward, we were talking about it with a group of young people who were dressed in "Gothic" style with the usual piercings of nails and fish-hooks.

One teenage girl said she actually grew up in a home like that. She new that twisted form of the "pledge of allegiance" and reeled it off at a rate of about 40 syllables per second. She ran away from home at 14 to escape the abuse present her household, and found her salvation with this group of nice, but odd-looking youngsters.

Evidently, there is more than one "Jesus Camp", and I know that many "survivalists" blend their religion with their weaponry.

Frankly, there appears to be a sub-set of American Christians who are particularly dangerous, and many of their once-extremist views have become mainstream during this period of aggressive corporate-religious-nationalist-militarist ideals

What the hell, it is almost Holloween. Get a few scares here:
