Damn, thats almost...almost...like...almost....un-human

Well people, lets buy them all tickets to sweden and see what happens shall we? :D

Yeah, I saw this awhile ago. Pretty sad. :|
 
"If you retreat, Jesus will shoot you!"

I betcha Jesus roit now is all "HEY! HEY YOU GUYS! STOP IT! STOP IT! Hey hey, HEY WTF! NO CUT IT OUT! I DON'T WANT ALL THIS ATTENTION. FFS GET A LIFE YOU PRICKS. NO!DON'T PIN THIS ON ME. I NEVER TOLD YOU TO WORSHIP...."

And god's all "God damn't shut up. They can't hear you."
 
Holy crap that should be the next Snakes on a Plane.
 
How, HOW IS THAT THE NEXT SNAKES ON A PLANE!

There is NO snakes, and NO planes.
 
and,

There is NO Samuel L. Jackson!

They should make Snakes in Jesus Camp. A documentary about a bunch of insane christians in a camp with snakes and Samuel L. Jackson saves the day by killing everything.

Yes, but there are young fundamentalist christians, and old fundamentalist christians. That's arguably even better.
 
So a movie(or documentary) about a plane full of fundamentalist christians, Samuel L. Jackson, and snakes?

I'm guessing the only survivor is Jackson?
 
Those kids will be soooo embarassed if they turn atheist when they get older :D
 
The trick is to brainwash them when they are kids, so they believe this shit for the rest of their life. Now nomatter what, they won't question what they are taught.

I call it child abuse.

I saw this film at the Silverdocs festival, expecting it to be little more than an oddball slice of Americana, but I was pleasantly surprised.

"Jesus Camp" revolves around a pentecostal minister who hosts a summer camp for children in North Dakota, and the sectarian Christian conservative families who send their children to this camp. Directors Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady wisely chose to avoid the polemical tone of most politically-motivated films, and instead opt to present a mostly unfiltered glimpse of this odd subculture. But through carefully selected images and the use of talk radio commentary as a framing device, they construct a subtle, yet damning narrative about a religious movement that isolates its children from mainstream culture, indoctrinates them into right-wing causes, and uses them as political props.

At Jesus Camp, the daily activities include standard camp fare such as spelunking and go-karts, but they also include speaking in tongues and smashing coffee mugs emblazoned with the word "government". Children learn that "science doesn't prove anything," and learn to consider themselves part of an Army of God. They are compelled to pledge that they will fight to end abortion. They are even pushed into publicly confessing their impure thoughts, and many of them cry and wail charismatically.

The camp director explains that she admires the way Islamic cultures raise children so devoted they will risk their lives for their faith. When we ultimately see several of the campers being placed by their parents on the steps of the Capitol with tape over their mouths, protesting abortion, the real purpose of this camp is driven home.

But the most touching scenes are the ones where the children are alone, and we see the ways that this indoctrination creeps into the most innocent elements of childhood. 11 year old Tori loves dancing to Christian rock, but frets that it's not always easy to dance for God instead of "dancing for the flesh." On an outing to the bowling alley, 9 year old Rachael feels compelled to walk up to strangers and awkwardly evangelize to them, without being prompted. A roomful of boys telling ghost stories after dark are interrupted by an adult who warns them about stories that don't glorify God.

No doubt some viewers will accuse the filmmakers of the dreaded liberal bias. But this is not a work of fiction, nor is it slanted reporting. These are real people and real events, captured on film. If the evangelical movement comes off badly in this film, the people on screen have no one but themselves to blame.

I saw this film at SilverDocs, a documentary film festival at the American Film Institute in Silver Spring. It's excellent, and I highly recommend it.

The basic storyline follows a year in the lives of three children from evangelical Christian families in Missouri, and focuses considerably on their experience at an evangelical summer camp ("Kids on Fire" in Devil's Lake, ND). The kids, 12-year-old Levi, 10-year-old Tory, and 9-year-old Rachel are, of course, endearing in their cuteness, but frightening in their fervor. Levi thinks that he will become a pastor, and his preaching to kids is starkly reminiscent of the Bible thumpers of Sunday morning TV. At camp, Tory is shown several times with tears streaming down her face, not least when a pro-life leader comes and distributes miniature plastic fetuses to illustrate the evil of abortion and again when many kids at camp begin speaking in tongues. Rachel, a nine-year-old evangelist, walks up to perfect strangers to ask them if they believe they're going to heaven and whether they would like to talk about Jesus. In short, the kids are the perfect spokespeople for the Jesus movement.

The documentary goes beyond their experiences at camp and paints a vivid image of the evangelical subculture in middle America. From scenes with a mother home schooling her son on the lunacy of evolution to kids at camp praying fervently for a cardboard cutout of George W Bush, the tenacious beliefs of the subjects and their utter lack of doubt is striking. The infusion of politics into religion is also notable, as the children are told of the evils of homosexuality, that prayer in school is necessary for schools to teach effectively, and that America is responsible for the deaths of fifty million innocent children since 1973. The families even travel to Washington to protest in front of the Supreme Court building.

The most awkward parts of the movie were scenes with Mike Papantonio, an Air America radio host. I felt the scenes involving him seemed a little forced, although a conversation at the end between the charismatic camp director, Becky Fischer, and Papantonio was an interesting microcosm of the larger political debate in this country. Interestingly, during a film festival question and answer session with the producers (Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady), they indicated that Papantonio was a late addition to the film because without him, there was no conflict. The people in the film were so sure of their beliefs that nothing in the movie showed them wavering. I wonder if the film might not have been stronger if they had left that sense of certainty alone.

Ewing and Grady also chose to use the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court as a thread to tie the film together. Unfortunately, none of the subjects of the documentary spent much time talking directly about the Supreme Court. They talked about some of the issues that the Supreme Court might deal with, but the nomination of judges didn't seem to be a big factor in their lives. There were a few scenes in which radio announcers and guest speakers at the camp encouraged the families to pray for the nomination of judges who agree with evangelical Christians, but I didn't think that there was enough to hold that particular thread together.

During the question and answer session, Ewing and Grady indicated that while they were both fairly secular, big city Democrats, they honestly liked the people in the documentary. In their view, the people in the documentary followed the law, and they worked to make the country better as they saw it, so what's wrong with that? They expressed interest in making a follow-up movie in five years to see whether the kids' faith survives puberty. It would certainly be an interesting experiment. They indicated that Fischer and the families that were profiled had seen the final project and thought that it was a fair representation of their lives. Fischer even thought that she could use it as an evangelical tool! At the same time, the audience I saw it with was overwhelmingly liberal and they also reacted positively (and, I'll say, with a fair degree of shock). To me, that says that Ewing and Grady did a nice job of ensuring that their biases did not show through into the movie, leaving audiences to read into it as they choose.

In sum, Jesus Camp is a movie that is worth watching. If you get a chance, see this film!

That's just wrong on so many levels.
 
LOL. The kid in the camo dancing like a fairy makes me laugh. PREACH THE WORD OF THE LORDDD!
 
OMG

Talking about indoctrination...Adults should be more carefull about how they transfer their ideals and believes to a child. To me this is just childabuse and brainwashing and a crime...

My kid will not be baptised nor initiated in any other religion. I'll want it to have free-choice...not like these mindless-jesus-lovers. Shame shame on those parents...

Some of you Americans are really really f*ckd up...Just like some of those Arabs at the other side of the ocean and prosperity.
 
I would rather have a movie that shows more on how ****ed up these people are. I would want people to see it and go "wow, those people are insane" than "hey, that looks like fun".

This is going to end up setting us back 500 years.
 
Unless we stop it... With...



PEANUT BUTTER!

Everyone knows christians can't stand peanut butter!
 
I think the movie should also have a scene like this

Holy shit, that's creepy. People organizing this should be put behind bars.
 
It's getting harder and harder to be christian and not appear insane in this country, and films like this certainly aren't helping.
 
....


Thank God not all christians are like that.

I really despise adults forcing their beliefs on their kids.
 
Ok, I actually watched it with sound today (yesterday I couldn't be bothered to pause my music) and it's obvious those kids are just repeating the bullshit their parents tell them. Yes, brainwashing D:
 
Some 12 yr old kid: "I got saved when I was five because *insert personal reason here*"

Sorry but I don't remember making any life decisions at the age 5.

The lady at the end: "This means war!!"

WTF.

Some man shouting to the kids: "Would you die for jesus?!"

Sounds alot like what the nazi's asked about Hitler.
