Very Disturbing




I found this trailer for this documentary about Jesus camp. Ok I'm not against religious camps for the most part. It's normally a good way for parents to allow their kids to experience summer camp (which in my opinion is usually a great experience, religious or not) if they are a religious family. It ceases to be a good idea when things like this video happen. Summer camp is supposed to a fun experience for kids, filled with tons of fun activities with other children their age. Religious camps should be the same thing with maybe a couple of prayer meetings and perhaps one or two sermons thrown in. It should NOT be like this, where kids are brainwashed and turned into "God's army". How is this any different then a cult or other fanatical groups, such as militia men who throw guns and various other weapons into their kids hands as soon as they are able to walk? Frankly this scares the hell out of me...these people have political agendas to turn the U S into a nation of hard core born agains! WTF! Just what the world needs...a government of religious fanatics...doesn't this seem to point to even more religious wars (which is far more savage and brutal than wars over money and power, history proves that). I am sad that children are not allowed to be kids anymore. We as adults tend to saddle them with adult issues at a young age, and although this is sometimes for their safety I think perhaps it's time to slow down and allow them to just worry about the small things and just have fun. We certainly shouldn't be brainwashing our kids. I hate humans...it's only a matter of time before we become extinct due to our own stupidity...and the Earth will be better for it.
