'Jesus Camp' Creates Split
Film horrifies those who fear the ascendance of the religious right.

By GINA PICCALO
The Los Angeles Times

"Jesus Camp," a documentary feature film that follows evangelical Christian children at a religious summer camp, won prizes and critical praise on the summer festival circuit, but it wasn't until its quiet opening in the Midwest two weeks ago that a news clip about the film hit YouTube.com, inciting a whirlwind of controversy.

Already, the movie, which opens in Los Angeles this week, has split the Christian community and horrified those who fear the ascendance of the religious right on the national stage. "Jesus Camp" opened Sept. 22 in New York and will open in 20 more cities nationally on Friday.

I think this more like Jesus Youth exposed, this camp is so militaristic it mirrors a Hitler Youth Camp.

As momentum builds for the nationwide opening of the Jesus Camp documentary, Christians are dividing over the disturbing video content. Rev. Ted Haggard of the National Association of Evangelicals is attacking the film, calling it propaganda. Others are asking, “Are you raising up Christian terrorists or another Hitler Youth movement?”

2. How can Rev. Ted Haggard call this propaganda??
..And who is to benefit?

Its about a christian organization brainwashing youth, turing them into christ soilders. This not propaganda, its whats really going on within the walls of the christian kingdom.

Not to mention EXODUS internation and LOVE WON OUT Gay conversion therapy crap. LOVE WON OUT is being investigated because they has Drug and Alcohol therapist working in a field beyond their expertise. I read it now I cant remember where I read about it...sorry
