Notes on the documentary "Jesus Camp"

Before I stary, I assure that for this writing is a brief summary of the documentary, I shall not analyze the 'three ways to persuade' factors here.

<Brief synopsis of "Jesus Camp">

- The documentary starts with a scenary of a grey, cloudy village featuring with a gloomy background music. Inflammatory quotes- clamoring out as if every thought of theirs is what God says (even when the points are unreasonable and ridiculous) - such as "Pray urgently so that God's will could be done" flow out. And a radio station interviewer ardently claims that they- the people who are clamoring for such nonsense- are just adding " ~in the name of God" on all their conducts; that is not what the Christianity teaches!

- The next scene tapes a Children's Prey Conference hosted by Becky Fischer. Children participating in the camp do a barbarian-like, weird dance performance that reminded me of primitive tribal dances. Everyone says that "God can do anything. Let's fix the world". Children are brainwashed and excited by the instigative ambience that they even cry. They also mutters prayers that sound just like what an Indian magician would murmur in their ceremonies.

- Becky Fischer says that because muslims train their children to be able to use arms and sacrifice for Islam without hesitation, people should open camps and make their children focused on Christianity so that they can fight back to muslims. She says, "Stand up, and take our land back"

- Saying that "God is only possible answer to all questions", Fischer makes all chilren delude that they should view the world in the sight of what she tells them. [However, what she says is NOT what the messages of God!]

- The camp, that was initiated in 2001 with a name "Kids on Fire", ties education with religion and politics. Thus, kids cannot learn proper science, nor can they develop proper ideologies or views.

- I completely agreed with the Mike - the host of "Radio fire" show - that those people do not understand the fundamentals of Christianity and that they are doing HARM.

It was a great SHOCK for me that such people like radical evangelicals exist and I think they are complete idiots....
