Jesus Camp: What I think all jumbled into a mass of text

(Writing this after I wrote the post below: It's funny to me how whenever I was told to write a reflection on something, a book, film or whatever, that I hated doing it. Now I find myself wanting to get all my thoughts down after experiencing stuff like that. Guess I'm growing up? Incredible.)

I just re-watched the documentary "Jesus Camp". It's a fantastic film about evangelical Christians in America and how they raise their children. It focuses on three children and looks into their life at home and their lives within their religious community. The film follows these kids through their experiences at a christian summer camp designed to indoctrinate them into Christianity and also specific political views such as the 'pro-life' movement. The camp's goal was to create an 'army' of kids who fight for God and the Republican Party. The kids are shown weeping, shaking on the floor, and speaking in tongues under the direction of their teachers.

I recommend the film to parents and future parents. I think that the film offers a good opportunity for parents to reflect on how they're teaching, or will teach, their kids, especially if they're religious. I also would recommend the film to young people, religious or ex-religious, who have been through all the camps, the youth groups, the bible studies and the sermons. You'll find, as I did, that there are some shocking similarities to how things were taught to you when you were younger.

"Jesus Camp" really helped me realize the reality of my childhood. I was indoctrinated just as the kids in the film were. Of course, not by the extreme methods shown in the film but indoctrinated nonetheless. I felt like there was only one way of thinking and anyone who thought differently was wrong and I saw them as deviants. The film helped me realize the importance of thinking critically about what you're told and to be skeptical. Skepticism is vital to a healthy mind. The film also made me really sad. I felt as though there was nothing that could be done to change anything. The evangelical ideologies are so ingrained in the minds of these people and they won't change for anything. It felt hopeless. I really hope that we as a people teach our future kids, the next generation, the importance of choice and thinking for themselves. A generation of free thinkers will move society further in my mind.

Anyway, this concludes my little reflection/rant/review about "Jesus Camp". Seriously, watch it. Wow, this was a long post.
