Jesus Camp ~ Get ready to Born Again or Die.
I didn't watch the movie yet. I'm not sure I'm really wanted to watch the movie. I watch too much trailers and news reports about the documentary and it already make my stomach sick.
Evangelicals are very good at drill their idea in to anybody's head. Loud screaming, same thing over and over again, same thing over and over again, same thing over and over again, loud screaming, same thing over and over again, can drill anything in to anybody's head.
But this is not about adults. This is about children - children as young as 6 year old. Pastor Becky says:
'Enemies of Evangelicals put their ideas in to children's head and give them guns and bombs. They are ready to kill them for cause of Islam.'
'I wants to see Evangelical children radically lay down their life for gospel.'
'There are two kinds of people in this world. People who love Jesus and people who don't.' 'Us against them, either you with us or either you with them'.
'Excuse me. We have the truth.' She said.
A Day in Jesus camp includes, 6 year olds praying for end the abortion,
worshiping pictures of president bush, smashing coffee mugs emblazoned with the
word 'government', speaking in tongue, publicly confession their impure
thoughts, wail charismatically, weeping in salivation and getting seizures,
train be a foot solder with toy swords.
Some of those activities are normal to kids anyway. I have seen lot of kids get
seizures, scream, cry and pray front of Candy counter in Majestic City food
court. Also I seen public confession of impure thoughts lot of times - like
'Mom, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.' But I have not seen so far a kid want
to be the God's army and pledge that they will fight to end abortion. It calls
to my mind Timothy
McVeigh.
Levy, a 12-year-old with a rat-tail who is a preacher too, said he was saved
at age 5 because he wanted more out of life. I still trying to
understand what it possibly be, 5 year old needed to be saved from? Is that form
Riddler or is that form Batman?
What it can be he want more in his life ~ more m&m? He went far as saying.
'We are the Key generation to bring jesses back. There is lot of people die for God. There are not afraid. We want to give up our life to Jesus.'
There is a scene 9 year old Rachael feels bound to walk up to strangers and
awkwardly evangelizes to them, without being prompted. Tory, a 10-year-old who
likes music and dancing but worries about using her gifts 'for the flesh'
instead of for God. 7 year old boy in painted faces, performing spiritual war
dances and little hands reaching out to bless a cardboard cutout of President
Bush, praying him for been Christian global leader.
Unfortunately Muslims are ready for the cosmic battle too. It is not
earthly battle. It is ultimate cosmic battle between good against bad. Look like
Evangelicals feels like they are loosing in the fanaticism race.
Alright. This is Americans with stomach full. Humans need a hobby after
stomach full. Even monkeys do. After "Rock &Roll" and 'Coca Cola' they choose
"God" to dominate the world.
We Sri Lankan can not escape form American phantasm. Ship will land in
Sri Lanka very soon with lot of funding. We - third world humans - are their
toys. 'Excuse me. We have the truth' - 'We
are saved - you are not' That is
the descending attitude of most of the Evangelicals in Sri Lanka already.
When I see this 12 year old boy - Levy - all I see is Heterosexual White
American want to dominate my children's freedom and ready to punish them if they
do not follow his path.
Religion is the main problem in this century, if there is a third world
war that will be for Religion. The day before the cosmic battle begins will be
the best day of all of us.
This is my question. What will you do when Jesus Camp come in to your town?

Why do some people have evangelism so much?
I didn't see anything shocking or provocative in the trailers. Using mass hysteria to indoctrinate impressionable people is used by most religions.
Mal, Agree. It use by every one. But just because it used by most people it do not make it right. Just because Palestinians train kids to kill & die for region, it does not mean it is Christian thing to do. Just because Pakistanis train children to be God's foot solders – it do not mean it is the correct thing to do by other regions too.
The reasons I'm not comfortable with evangelism is, ‘You need to be saved' descending principle ~ rather than ‘I need to be saved'.
I'm not comfortable when some one say ‘I'm lost and I worship the devil, just because I follow Harry Potter - Harry Potter is not the devil'.
I'm not comfortable when someone say ‘You are with us or you are with them.' I like to be with me. I don't like any one who wants to take that right form me.
just remember the bible says, not everyone who says lord lord will enter heaven. there are so called christians who have really missed the point of it all. only time will tell.
Hey Chris,
It is not my view about Palestinians. I’m just quoting Pastor Becky. She thinks she have the truth. :-)
Anyway.. Yes. They do die for a cause. But I rather like to see them live for a cause.
