Jesus camp
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. Nothing in particular, just random issues around me. It’s nothing new, but usually I feel the need to just sit and write them down. It’s more like thinking things out loud, but just for the sake of letting it out, not necessarily getting any solution. That would expect too much, I guess.
One thing in particular is a series of events (not unfortunate). First event was I picked up a movie documentary DVD in the unknowing of what kind of story in it.
Second event was just out of the blue someone I know who was anti Christian suggested (was it more like an order?) that I watch it. Coincidence? Even this person was willing to buy it for me. I said I already got the movie, just haven’t got the time to watch it. Still not suspecting anything I tried to browse what the movie (documentary) is about. If you're curious just read Jesus Camp .
Third event just stopped me from thinking and came to a decision. So I emailed a good friend of mine about the movie. He simply just said that there’s already too many anti Christian movement (and movies for that matter) that it would be a waste of time (to the least) to watch it.
Don’t you wish you could have a clear thinking like that and not having to waste your time and energy mulling over simple matter like this?

Dismissing Jesus Camp as anti-Christian is quite unfair; it doesn't attack Christianity or Christians generally, and indeed some of the contributors were Christians.
What it exposes, rather, is the brainwashing of children in summer camps by certain evangelical sects. The organiser of the camp is quoted wishing that more Christians were willing to kill and die in the name of the gospel, and the children are taught to worship George Bush. The intense, pressured atmosphere of the camp is also quite scary, and the effect it must have on children...
That's absolutely not what I was taught Christianity was about.
jesus camp is plainly boring. it is one of the most boring documentaries i've ever watched. so much for the fuss!
