yikes.i just saw this segemthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97NFNXk8aFc&mode=related&search= on jesus camp. and it was very disturbing.
I'm sure most Christians oppose such radicalism.but this just shows there is extremism in every religion and belief.

I've seen the entire movie "Jesus Camp," and there is no way in hell I would send my kids there. Those people are absolutely insane, and they're trying to brainwash those kids.
I wonder what would happen if I went to Devil's Lake, North Dakota (where the camp is held) and screamed "The Devil is coming.....he's on his way right now!"
Those people are seriously deranged.

I can see that the trolls are out on this post, lol! As a Christian, no I would not send my kids there. First of all, I don't agree with the tactics and there are better Christian camps to send kids to that won't go radical like that camp.

Without having looked at the utube, I can say that I never wanted to send my kids to a camp without knowing who was running it, and on what principles. Just because it is called Christian, that means nothing.
By the way, you do realize that people who put videos on utube are quite capable of staging stuff? However I realize some really horrible stuff has been done in the name of Christian religion. Abuse of all sorts. Perverse people will try to find justification in God for their perversity.
EDIT:
Just looked at the video. It is probably the genuine article. I would definitely never send my kids to anything like that. And if I mistakenly sent my kids to something like that and found out what it was about, they would surely hear from me.
- Camp is a place for kids to have good clean fun. A little bit of Bible teaching can be good, but I taught my kids Bible in the home. I also taught them to be critical listeners.

Um, no.
We teach religion at home, and we do a good job of it. All our kids need are facts: religion at home and science at school. It's up to us to make our kids smart enough to decide on their own later, not to pack them off to some emotionally driven camp where the "power" wears off in two weeks. I'd rather have something meaningful and compelling.

Are you nuts?! Who would send their kids to these kinds of camps? They ought to be investigated by Children's Services. The problem is this extermist group wants to control American politics...you know where that goes...like the one reviewer said...
The last time he saw a tape like that it was in black and white and narrated in German.

Watch the whole movie, it's much more terrible than that short video. Scared me for months.

It's disgraceful to use kids like this for ones own purpose. I'm glad we don't have anything like this in Europe.
But its nothing compared to countries that use their kids for suicide bombings and war.

No way ever.
People who brainwash children are disgusting.

religious obsession, stupidity and a perverse need to control the beliefs and actions of your children?

Try this...I think it's the whole documentary... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8877708936425212842&q=Jesus+Camp&hl=en
No I would not...as non believers, if I had kids, they'd be eaten alive.
