Jesus Camp (2006)

Review by LLRusty

Jesus Camp

8/10

The Mental in Fundamentalist

As an atheist I love documentaries like Jesus Camp which show both the dark and absurd sides of religion. This happens to be one of the best and is scary, upsetting and at points quite funny.

The scares come in the form of some pretty shocking mental child abuse in the form of brainwashing. As pointed out by fat Harry Potter hating Preacher, Becky Fischer, children are easy to influence at young ages. She openly admits that this is what she does, and what should be done to all kids. With worldwide hatred against child abusers stuff like this gets ignored and that's frightening.

What's worse is that this is taking place in the 'land of the free'. I can't imagine many of these children were free to choose what they wanted to believe (or not) in. If they were then they'd be outside having fun with other kids, or inside reading Harry Potter and The Orgy of Filthy Sin.

The upsetting parts come from seeing very young children being shouted at to the point of tears in some cases, by a fat woman, a creepy drill sergeant/paedophile and a guy with a terrible Hawaiian shirt.

There are amusing parts too, what with Becky's cringe worthy, vomit in my mouth "what about the rest of me" line and the insane teaching tools for the long haired wannabe Jesus, Levi. I couldn't help but dislike him and the younger girl as they come across as preachy little know it all's (probably not their fault I know). They clearly have no understanding of the world and their ignorance is plain to see, although this might have something to do with the fact that the boy at least, has been taught that the earth is 6000 years old and people used to ride to work on Dinosaurs.

If you're into Religious documentaries then you should defiantly check this out. Oh and one final thing. Harry Potters a Wizard, not a Warlock. You Stupid B*tch.
