Jesus Camp is a 2006 documentary directed by Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing about a charismatic Christian summer camp for children who spend their summers learning and practicing their "prophetic gifts" and being taught that they can "take back America for Christ."[1]. According to the distributor, it "doesn't come with any prepackaged point of view" and tries to be "an honest and impartial depiction of one faction of the evangelical Christian community”. [2]

I have heard of this movie before. My ex-girlfriend recommended me to watch it. If I was American, I would be so damn ashamed..

It is a kind of brainwashing of children.

Under which category do these Evangelicals fall? Fundamentalism, for sure. But is it a Reformation or a Restoration offshot?

Should go into a forum of its own, as Freak Religions, in my opinion.

It should go into the forum "Psychiatry", in my humble opinion. If there were one...

Neither. I think it is offshot of the Pentecostal movement, but an extremely degenerated one.

In fact, meetings like these are probably some forms of mind control, under the ostensibly "religious" mask, possibly elaborated by experts for the psychological manipulation. These kids, once they grow up, are destined to become obedient soldiers of the system.

Funny part here is..the American media always complains about educational camps in Palestine and Saudi Arabia,etc. But look at this? is this any better than an Islamic Mickey Mouse telling kids to kill jews?

It's even worse because here we have a militarily extremely powerful country and these brainwashed kids may some day become cold-blodded murderers going to any part of the world their government tells them, fighting some new "Hitler", in the name of their god Bush (or whoever else it will be).

On the other hand, Muslim masses indoctrinated with similar stuff are rather primitive, crude and backward and not in possession of such powerful arms. They represent an entirely different kind of danger.
