Jesus Camp (churches, agnostic, praying, atheists)

Who has seen this documentary and what are your opinions?

I've seen it. I think it represents a scary element in Christianity. The people in this documentary were political and ignorant, using this camp to brainwash children into a cult sect of Christianity.

Most of those children will probably grow up to be agnostics, atheists and legalists

I've seen it and its weird bordering on mental abuse.

I'll also add that I think this is a very fringe group and not representative of your average Christian fundamentalist.

As a Christian, I can say honestly that that documentary scared the everlovin' crap out of me.

It's not indicative of Christianity nor is it indicative of Christianity in North Dakota.

I've seen it. I think it''s scary. It's very extremist. I found myself wondering throughout the movie if the children who attended the camp would be mentally scarred for it.
I also don't know how they can justify praying to the cardboard cut-out of George Bush when Christianity is implicitly against idolatry.

sidenote.. that camp is no longer in existence.

I've noticed churches use a lot of humor these days and then guilt induce you at later least expected times .........
