There was a movie? ::blink::I would no way be able to sit through 2 hours of that insanity.
Well, this kind of brainwashing had to start in the home before they sent them to this sick-o camp.
I grew up Orthodox Catholic and my father and mother believed. They were not over the top loony religious freaks, but they took us to church every Sunday and did the "normal" thing without it being fanatical in any way.
Now, we used to go to catechism every Wednesday at the local Catholic school..... I will never forget the time I asked the nun, "If God made the universe, who made God?"
She went batshit! Slapped my face and said we are not to ask such questions!
I must have been in the second grade then.
When our teachers taught us about evolution, I was fascinated compared to the eye rolling and disbelief of the crap I was fed about religion.
I have no problem with anyone believing in what they want to - it's their right. I DO have a problem with shit like what goes on in that Jesus camp business.
I have also said elsewhere that I have no problem with teachers answering kids' questions regarding the differences between the different religions of the world. Just be generally knowledgeable about them. Do NOT preach or worse - proselytize the kids!
But I feel they should have their questions answered fairly by anyone who asks without feeling bad for asking and without a biased explanation about it.
