Jesus Camp
OP - September 26, 2009, 08:47 PM

I just watched this disgusting and gross movie and can't seem to comprehend that such a thing was allowed in modern day America
I know it is closed now, and this movie is more than 3 years old, but still the though of such a thing to exist in a supposedly moderate society is just beyond imagination.

I have to say the most disgusting part was this :'(

P.S. Sorry if this is 'old' and everybody knows about it.

There are worst religious schools, madrassas, community centres etc

This just scratches the surface-in regards to some of the things we have in parts of Britain the camp is fairly tame.

I really hope you're exaggerating here. How can it be more disgusting than this?
Have you seen the cardboard Bush part?(I'm sorry for it not showing up before I fixed it now)

Ay, crazy pentecostals...want to here something scary....That form of christianity is the fast growing religion in South America.

These people are batshit crazy. A few years ago, I went "undercover" to one of their churches in Kentucky (I was bored...It was Kentucky). It was a very unsettling experience. People were jumping around screaming in babble language, very weird. Then I got saved (keep in mind, I was "undercover"), it was hard to play along, since the level of sincerity was so strong. The whole time, I could not believe that these people were serious.
What's even more strange, is that they can shut it off just as quick, and a hour later be sitting around eating cookies and talking about cars.

I did see this movie a while ago, and just a little extra bit of info. I saw the making of , and they were not praying to Bush or using him as an idol, but actually praying for him, as in praying that the holy spirit will guide him to fight abortion, and such. That's just important to note, because the organizer lady, said that if it was Gore they would have been doing the same thing, and had done the same ritual with a Clinton cut out years earlier.
Most of them are deeply scared of the government, or at least very distrusting. For instance, They home school, and most believe America is "Godless", they hate separation of church and state, yet at the same time have a weird kind of patriotism, but one based on a country that does not exist (A US of Jesus, if you will)

The foundation of superstition is ignorance, the
superstructure is faith and the dome is a vain hope. Superstition
is the child of ignorance and the mother of misery.

The problem is that those people constitute a large voting block in America and have a big influence on American politics.

A lot of my friends went to Jesus camp when they were younger. By best friend especially is a devout christian because of it. It wasn't this bad, but still they all still are pretty strong believers.
