Ah, here we are at Camp Child-Abuse, er, I mean, Jesus Camp, where the minds of children are twisted or removed, uh, wait, uh, educated for future roles as annoyingly stupid asshats, no wait, uh, good Christian citizens.
you know, this "jesus camp" idea is REALLY frightening. however, i also find these people and their rabid devotion to their religion endlessly fascinating (in many ways) and i really would like to see this documentary. (and no, i don't mean fascinating in "i can't wait to join them!" way.)
Why go to a cinema and PAY to see this "PrOpAgAnDA"? It would be like supporting their fundamentalistic child abuse!
I'm sure it will be downloadable soon with BitTorrent or some other program.
(Disclaimer: I do not like or promote illegal acts, but this "movie" is the Xians answer to AlQaedas "postcard"-videos)

It's not propaganda. By all accounts, it presents a raw, unfettered picture of an extreme element of Christianity,
In the mid-80s I went to a Moonie rally in NYC as part of a research project. It looked a lot like this. The thing is, with the light, the charismatic speakers, and music... it was all I could do not to get drawn in at the time and I was an adult. I hope people see some of the brainwashing techniques being used in this preview.
I believe people have the right to raise their children within their faith. I just think this is an extreme and unhealthy environment for children. I can imagine even many christians find this a bit over the top.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
