Film: Jesus Camp

True that this way the film has more mass appeal, but my personal taste would still have been for them to bash these people harder.

i am so completely against what they are doing, and what they represent that it is difficult for me to enjoy the documentary as it stands.

Still very informative.

^ While I would agree exactly to the T with what irks you, I've seen so many of these documentaries and with how hopeless it all seems, I highly doubt I'll even vote this year. Kudos to the Walrus for posting the link above though. "Pirates" are the reason freedom ever had a chance of existing in the first place. But what do I know, Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were just a couple of stoners, everyone knows that. Good'ol Georgie-boy was their dealer, no surprise he gets the dollar bill. Hooray for capitalism then, the system that produced this phenomenon of snakeoiler trillionares selling the dream of some wise old sagely looking dude in the sky who'll send you burn in pain 'n horror forever for not falling all over yourself in endless devotion, and yet he somehow loves you. Pure rediculousness, of course, but then again, humans are really dumb animals.

Kudos to the directors for exhibiting the radio host, who is a prime example of an intelligent, small-town Christian fundamentalist.

I'm glad you brought this up because I thought it too.

After I saw from the very beginning of the film "Missouri" and then the radio host announce "Kansas City" I was worried people might start making blatant assumptions about all the people who live there. Having gone to high school there I know that a great deal of the people who reside and raise families in that area despise this type of brainwashing. Hell, my high school was my diverse than most anybody I've ever met.

People I know who live there hate the reputation some people have tied to this. I've noticed several people in larger cities (Chicago, Washington D.C.) have raised their eyebrow and said "really??" when I told them I'm from Kansas City. Maybe I'm sensitive and they're not thinking about this sort of thing but I'm not sure. Sorry for the rant. I liked the film. I just worry about the effects on the residents of the Christian midwest.
