Jesus Camp

[Thor]

Hey peoplez! I've been gone for a while but I'm back now n.n

Anywho!

I'm watching Jesus Camp right now. I read the back and it seemed funny so I nabbed it from the video store.

Anyone seen it? Have opinions? Any input is fine :]

I saw it about a six months ago. I'm not sure if it was funny or scary. Watching the idiots babble "in tongues" was hilarious. But seeing what they did to the kids (making them cry and fall to the floor in tears) was pretty awful. They have these kids so screwed up it's sad. I especially despised a scene where one of the adults talks to the kids about abortion. Of course, he went on about how abortion is horrible and how it kills babies. But I was livid when he showed plastic models to the kids to demonstrate what an unborn baby looks like. These models all looked like a fully developed baby, only in smaller sizes. He showed the kids a model of a supposedly 7-week old fetus and the thing looked like a fully formed baby, only about four inches long. This just pissed me off. A 7-week old fetus looks more like a tadpole than a human being! But, of course, they can't show that to the kids because it doesn't have the same affect. So, naturally, they lie to the kiddies!

There was also a scene where a 9 year old girl is in a bowling alley and she approaches a lady sitting at a table. The little girl offers the woman a pamphlet and tells her, "God told me to give you this." The lady smiles warmly and thanks the kid.

I wish that had been me that she approached! I would have immediately challenged her absurd statement that "God" spoke to her. I would have asked if she heard "God's" voice. I then would have asked if "God" appeared to her. When she answered no to both questions (which she would have to do unless she wants to lie), I would have then asked why she lied to me about "God" telling her to do something. Maybe this would help the kid learn something.

Another thing that irked me was a scene where a mother is home schooling her 11 or 12 year old son. (Of course they homeschool their kids. Can't have them going to a real school and learning about science!) Anyway, the mother asks the kid what he would think if he went to school and they told him that we all evolved from monkeys. The kid dutifully says, "I wouldn't like that." Gag. Another Creationist dumbass is born!

Overall, the thing is worth watching just to see how these loons teach their kids. But I found myself wanting to see the parents arrested for child abuse.
