I just happened to see this movie trailer, and boy howdy! Its a documentary about an evangelical summer camp.
Here's a link to the movie's website: Jesus Camp
Poke around the site, watch the videos and trailer, lemme know what you think. It looked to me like a bunch of kids were getting brainwashed and indoctrinated, pretty scarey stuff.
Granted its just a trailer, but do you think the movie is a realistic look, and its shocking? Do you think its realistic and A-Okay? Or do you think the its a biased film and appears to bash evangelicals?

I mean, this is America. Everybody loves seeing lesbians go at it, as long as they are both hot and not in a monogamous, legally sanctioned relationship.

well, the trailer is terrifying.
I have no idea of whether or not the film will be accurate, but I imagine it will get lots of play.

When I was in college, a gay friend of mine told me he was sent to one of those camps to be "cured". Supposedly, they cured him
But seriously, I have seen worse, so I suppose that could be an accurate portrayal of what one of those camps is like.

You can see the results of that indoctrination around here every day - people who parrot the dogma but have little or no idea what it means.
For the most part, it's harmless rhetoric. It's a bit disturbing when it comes from kids, though.
