Jesus Camp

Last night we watched the Academy Award-Nominated movie 'Jesus Camp.' When all was said and done, I still agree that 'An Inconvenient Truth' deserved the Best Documentary Oscar more, but 'Jesus Camp' shed some light on an almost-as-disturbing trend.

All the cry in the Anglican Church these days is to 'get the children involved,' or 'to something to entertain the children.' This movie demonstrates that there is such a thing as going too far, and that we have to pay attention to the message we give our kids, as well as the means we use.

What do you think? Should Evangelical Christians be indoctrinating their children with extreme religious mania? Would this question be any different if it were Catholics brainwashing their children? Secular Humanists? Very scary stuff...
