Jesus Camp

I just saw the first 40 minutes of it and I must say... it was fairly funny, but weird and a little disturbing at the same time. When the lady was blessing the electronic equipment at the church I was like "Wtf... Really?"

Something along the lines of "The devil likes to cause power outages when we try to get your word out."

It's really sad that children get indoctrinated in this way. I'd call it child abuse.

Oh yeah, almost forgot to post my feedback on the movie after finishing it on Friday. It was really depressing seeing how these kids are being indoctrinated and I wonder what they'll be like when they grow up. Becky Fischer (the lady the film is featured around) started to seem more and more like a cult leader as the movie progressed. I think the movie's psychological impact is fairly powerful in empowering the religious right and shocking everyone else. The old guy with the coarse sounding voice was just fucking creepy and it was so weird how he kept bobbing back and forth when he was praying...

You guys are wussies. I grew up in a Pentecostal church just as bad if not worse. I got uber lulz than sad. This is the "intellectual juggernaut" we have to deal with. Believe me it's for the best. The fundies will become the new serfs as intelligent people exploit them for political and economic endeavors. I for one welcome my new underlings.

I love how she acts as if the idea of (extreme) muslims arming their kids with weapons is somehow a model to behold. You can tell she almost wants to advocate christians doing the same but knows it would be too politically dangerous. These people are hilarious to me.

If anyone is curious they were not worshipping Bush, it was laying of hands. It's a faith healing hub-bub that every pentecostal church does.

Poor fools.

I've only watched the first third or so, but even then I've like everyone else found it to be disturbing. First there's the anti-science stance many parents take (we shouldn't be concerned about global warming). I haven't gotten to it, but the part about training to fight against Muslims sounds awful (talk about loving your "enemies").

Maybe we could surreptitiously declare a "crusade" and get them to travel to the middle east to get their brains blown out or something...
