Even though the movie is shot under a "draw your own conclusions" style it is pretty hard to see it from the evangelicals point of view. Some of the extremes they take their belief is almost scary. The kid who preaches and is only 10 or 11 frightens me. The parents are forcing these kids to believe a religion right out of the uterus and less and less are the kids making the decision for themselves. They are brought up knowing only what the church tells them. I feel that many kids today who follow some sort of organized religion are a sort of Christian Borg. All tied to a central computer. Thats what I think about 'Jesus Camp' I watched that movie about a month ago.
