The trailer alone scares the piss out of me.

This is for an upcoming independent movie called Jesus Camp. It basically (and by the looks of it, even-handedly) chronicals a new trend in fundamentalist Christianity in the U.S., that of indoctrinating children into a political fundamentalism with the intended goal of raising them to assume leadership of the country. To me, it just looks like the flip side of what the radical Muslims are trying to accomplish in the Middle East - a hard-line, fundamentalist, theocracy.

I bet if this were translated into Arabic, one could dub over a video of a Pakastani terrorist training camp and send it to air on Al-Jazeera, and no one would be the wiser.

I hear, and have always heard, radical Christians proclaim that they've "found Jesus," or "let Jesus into their hearts," but I have little confidence that they know what that means, and even less that they would act upon it.

The more I think about, the more I am convinced that one cannot take another's word for something as important as one's faith. It is something that one must arrive at after much contemplation.
