Jesus Camp (A Doc)

Yesterday I saw this documentary called Jesus Camp. It was quite alarming and very enlightening. Evangelical Christian children are being  indoctrinated at an early age (7 to 9 years old and up). In some cases, probably a little younger than that. The film featured kids going to this Bible Camp in North Dakota. I was shocked at the “intensity” of these kids. Anyway, the documentary was trying to show that the lines between church and state is getting to be a bit blurred. I clearly don’t agree with indoctrinating children at this age when they will believe anything. Se la vie. This is not a political blog so I will stop here. Watch this film. You need to be informed. It’s a very thought-provoking piece with some balance in the mix with the radio host who is a moderate-conservative Christian. Of course it shows Ted Haggard before the “fall.” Also, on HBO there was another documentary equally as compelling and thought provoking, called “Friends of God: A Road Trip with Alexandra Pelosi.” She visited Lakewood Church that boasts 30,000 in attendence every weekend. Other interesting trips were to a drive-thru church and a Christian themed park.
