"Jesus Camp" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Camp_Documentary


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Camp_Documentary just saw this, on the "Biography channel", of all places. My mother was down stairs at the begining of it. She said that it seemed like "devil worshipping witchcraft". My family is Holiness. So if she finds them to be creepy, you know it must be true. Of course I'm sure that the little girl "Rachel" would have thought that the church they attend, the Bible Methodist, is "dead". But then it hit me. My mother is right! They are engaged in spiritual incantations, and there god is a devil. Becky Fischer said that if Harry Potter were alive during Bible times, he'd be killed. This just goes to show me that these people are the "Deatheaters", and there lord is "Lord Voldemort". What struck me as profound however, was not just how wacky the "Jesus Camp" was, but how namby pamby all the rest of us are in comparison. The pentecostal dominionists act out, demonstrate, and propogandise, while we by and large do nothing. For example, when Rachel, and/or Levi were handing out tracts, everyone either accepted it gratefuly, or just blew them off. No one actually engaged them in conversation. No one ever told them that there god is a malevolent tyrant, or that dominionism is the enemy of democratic freedom. But you might say that they're just cute little kids. Well so were the "Hitler Youth". Would you all have the same response to the Gaede twins?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussian_Blue_%28duo%29 These children are just repeating whatever they were told. They know no different. They need to know that there is another better way to think and live. If the roles were reversed, we might be homeschooling our children, in order to keep them out of the christianised public schools. http://www.uuhomeschool.org/ And we might also be sending our children to "atheist camp". http://camp-quest.org/ Becky Fischer also said that she hopes that this documentary shakes up the "extreme liberals" Well, I for one want to be extreme, instead of lilly livered.We should fight fire with fire, only more nicely. There also were some funny scenes as well. Not only did Rachel place an incantation over her bowling ball and it went into the gutter. But during the credits, while "Spirit in the Sky" was playing, she was witnessing to some black men, and afterwards said to Levi "I think they're muslim".
