WORTH CONSUMING!

I like to think I’m a pretty tolerant person and that I can accept people’s right to their beliefs. These kids don’t have a chance though. Shamed and outright lied to they’re completely manipulated from birth. I found that really tough to watch.

In the pinnacle of hypocrisy, the camp director condemns her “enemies” (in her view all Muslims) for indoctrinating youth with messages of violence and later asks her audience who would be willing to die for Jesus to a crowd of emphatic cheers.

For me, the most interesting part was about 12minutes in. The movie’s featured children are being home schooled in ””science”” by the mother who briefly discusses how global warming isn’t anything to worry about. Since when did the church have anti-regulatory branch? The kids later take a break to watch a pro-creationism DVD where some anti-Bill-Nye ridicules the idea that we could have evolved from a primordial sea (“goo” to him).

Also interesting to see Ted Haggard on there before the whole gay sex and crystal meth thing broke.

I don’t know how christianity in America has become so distorted. Faith has nothing to do with condoms, embryos and climate change. Doing good by your neighbor has nothing to do with forcing them to adhere to your values.

Children shouldn’t wear camouflage, be forced to confess their “sins” to an audience of hundreds or “discover” at five years old that they’re searching for something more out there.
