Would you send your kids to Jesus camp? Why?
quarble- felt the same way
 
I would not send my kids to that camp because its not the kind of religious worship I prefer.

Parts of it disturbed me and parts didnt really seem much diff than most church camps. I am sure if people took clips out of anyones life they would be quite disturbing.

It made me see why some people are so fervent in their beliefs. That was something I never really got. Its a hard line to draw. Where does religious fervor go too far and just is entering into emotional manipulation? I think parts of that camp was about emotional manipulation and not really about "feeling the spirit" but atheists would accuse all religious people of most religious practices to be that way.

I dont agree with parents that isolate their kids or so overprotect them from outside beliefs. I am ok with parents passing on their religious beliefs to their kids and supporting a lifestyle that encompasses those beliefs.

After watching that movie I was very grateful that I grew up in Southern Ca with the diversity of beliefs and that I grew up with a more solemn type of religious worship. Eventually everyone really needs to find their own testimonies and beliefs regardless of how you grew up and I dont know that those kids will ever be in a position to really look at their testimony with the kind of scrutiny that makes it real and strong.

They were also teaching those kids to be quite judgmental of others in a very bad way and so I dont see how they will be able to interact with others outside their faiths without coming off as jerks if they keep it up.
 
I'm not a Christian, but at the time that I saw it I was a religious person. That movie was CrEePy.
 
Jesus camp is child abuse. I ean why indoctrinate children that young into a mind control?
 
That's so much psychological damage. I don't even know where to begin.
 
No i wouldn't send my kids there. The minds of children are easily molded , and sending them to that camp wouldn't be fair to them. In a lot of ways its a kind of brainwashing. Children should be given an opportunity to learn , grown, and one day become young adults who can form their own opinions and views when it comes to issues as important as spirituality and religion.
