Jesus Camp
This seems like a disturbing news story - exploiting kids in the name of religion to speak in tongues, and venerate the President. From what I know about the media, there is less to this story than meets the eye.
The media typically take hundreds of minutes of footage and edits it down to a three minute clip, the backgrounds and true context lost on the editing room floor. Knowing this fact, my skepticism is running very high on the whole "worshipping Bush" claim.
We all know various ministries with which we agree, disagree or simply prefer not to participate. The fact is that one "Jesus Camp" in North Dakota does not a movement make.
Part of the footage is encouraging. The evidence of a strong and vibrant youth movement coupled with staunch views on life and sexual wholeness is wonderful to see.
What is worrysome is the claim that any firmly held beliefe is detrimental to the future of our society. More evidence that today's definition of tolerance is one way.
