that movie is an accurate ? representation or grossly false? Nevertheless, it was a very interesting film. What about was true and what was false?
 
It was accurate. Not for all Christians, but for those. I know some who are close to that in their general world view, presentation of Christ, and political values. It's not too far to say that there are a good number of Christians who believe like they do.

I find the major problem with them as being Legalism, which in my view is the majority of Christianity. Not all Legalists are exactly like them, but the general interpretation of works is at least similar.

I did a video concerning Christian Legalism:

I didn't see what all the fuss was about, personally. I did take issue w/ the part about politics though.
 
You have to remember those were Evangelicals, they're a little different than your Protestants or what have yous.
 
Of course the movie is accurate, but that doesn't mean that all church camps teach the same philosophy. Some of the points that the movie brought out like the one mother that said global warming wasn't true, and they kind of made it out like she was an intellectual idiot, but in reality we are experiencing global cooling now. In all honesty, even though there was manipulations by adults to get the children to think a certain way, I don't think it is any worse than public school, or the propaganda that comes out of the tube.
