Jesus Camp Page #2

Synopsis: Jesus Camp follows several young children as they prepare to attend a summer camp where the kids will get their daily dose of evangelical Christianity. Becky Fischer works at the camp, which is named Kids on Fire. Through interviews with Fischer, the children, and others, Jesus Camp illustrates the unswerving belief of the faithful. A housewife and homeschooling mother tells her son that creationism has all the answers. Footage from inside the camp shows young children weeping and wailing as they promise to stop their sinning. Child after child is driven to tears. Juxtapose these scenes with clips from a more moderate Christian radio host (who is appalled by such tactics), and Jesus Camp seems to pose a clear question: are these children being brainwashed?

themselves for the cause of Islam.

I want to see young people who are

commited with the cause of Jesus Christ

as the young people

are to the cause of Islam.

I want to see them

as radically laying down their lives

for the Gospel,

as they are over in Pakistan

in Israel and

and Palestine

and all places,

you know because we have

Excuse me!

But we have the Truth!

I would say

there is a friendly environnement now

in the United States

towards Christianity

that has been in my lifetime

and a lot of it has to do just

the last few years

has to do with President Bush.

He has really brought

some real credibility

to the Christian faith.

He has been very opened

ly open,

about his faith in God.

This moment right now today,

is a fulfillment of a prophecy.

We got to stand up

and take back to the land.

Hey listen,

I just wanted to know you guys

- Both, you came with Mark, right?

You are not related to him, right?

- No

- He is coming to our camp this summer.

Are you guys coming too?

- To North Dakota?

- To North Dakota.

- Yes.

- You are coming?

Your whole family coming?

Or just you guys?

- I think just this?.

- Awesome!

With my brother,

my twin brother.

I want to know

more about you guys.

How long have you

been a Christian?

I've been a Christian,

I was at 5

- I got saved.

- Yes?

- Because I just of life.

- Yes?

- And nothing

I got

You got 5 years-old and

there was nothing fun?

- Yeah.

- Really? Already?

So, what do you think

the camp is gonna be like?

What do you expect in?

What do you expect in

God to do for you?

What am I expecting

God to do for me?

- Yeah, camp.

- I think Oh, camp!

Camp,

I think God is gonna... you know

give me use to meeting

other people

because I have hard

times for that.

- I can't believe that!

- I'm shy!

You are shy?

I can't believe it!

Except for when things

have been .

Yeah, then you are

not shy at all!

- No

- Oh, you guys are great.

Really appreciate

that you come.

to see you in summer.

Good to meet you, Terrene.

Good to meet you, Levi.

- We will talk later.

- Ok.

- Bye, bye.

Time for creation,

garden of Eden

...approximatively 6000 years ago.

Was it an explosion?

Did we come for a global ?

Argh! Argh!

I don't think so.

It's been said that we are

the result of an explosion

is this true?

Is this scientific?

Or is it just based on a belief?

Levi, come here.

I need to be near you.

Alright, let's go over

some things.

One popular thing to do

in American politics

it is to note that the summers

in the United States

over the past few years,

have been very warm.

As a result,

global warming must be real.

What's wrong

with this reasoning?

- It's only got a 0.6 degrees.

- Ah.

Yeah, it is not really

a big problem, is it?

No. I don't think that

it's gonna hurt us.

It is It is a huge political issue,

global warming.

And that's why

it's really important for you

- to understand

- The evolution too?

- Um, not really. At the most

- Creationism?

Um, it is becoming one.

Now.

What if you got to go to school

where the teacher says

creationism is stupid

and you are stupid

if you believe it?

- I think they should... yeah

- Well?

Or, what if you got

to go to school

where your teacher says

evolution is stupid

and you are stupid

if you believe it?

- It wouldn't mind it.

- You wouldn't mind it.

If you look at creationism

you realise it is

the only possible answer

- to all the questions.

- That's exactly what Dad says.

It is the only possible answer

to all the questions.

- Oh, yeah.

- Oh, yeah.

Yes.

Did you get to the part

where it says that

science doesn't prove

anything? Ja!

And it's really interesting

when you look it that way.

- It is.

- It is.

- Alright!

- Alright.

I think personally that Galileo

made the right choice

by giving up

science for Christ.

God didn't say:

"Have children

and give my kids to someone out

for 8 hours a day. "

And if I can homeschool them

as well as can? public school

why would I send them somewhere else

for 8 hours a day?

Our nation was founded on

Judeo-Christian values.

We know when things

start changing

out of schools, and

ah the schools

started to fall apart.

And now the rest of us

:

Wait a minute,

where is my country?

Our firm belief is

there are two kinds of people

in the world.

People who love Jesus

and people who don't.

And I want my kids to grow up

knowing:
You know what?

It's a good thing

to be a Christian..

Matthew Spalding, our guest.

Tomorrow, Glenn Thomas

from Christian marines...

of Operation Iraqi Freedom

of its book God Saw Them Through.

So, tomorrow it will be very interesting

we will see back here again.

Why our kids thought that

global warming doesn't exist?

Ok, why?

Look, rape this world

rape this earth,

take everything you want from her

because, you know what?

It doesn't matter.

We are not here for very long.

Christ is coming to take us

away from Earth

so cut down our trees,

use all of our oil

take advantage of everything

that the Earth has to offer...

That's why you're here

getting involved

with issues like

global warming.

It itit you want

to shake them.

And you want to say:

What what

what is you are

not understanding

by the

of the Christianity?

How did you get here?

Our president is still

telling Americans

that we should teach

creationism in our schools.

That we should teach it

right along side with the evolution.

I think in this

and

exactly what they want.

Do you know what's

happening in Kansas?

Yes, I know it. I saw.

They have to teach

intelligent design

right along with

Darwin evolution.

Think about that.

You got 600,000 children,

they are being lied to.

There is no conflict

between two.

- Well, not

- That is religion, it is not science.

We have a population,

described themselves

as Evangelists.

Eh that's about

about 80 million people.

They're very tenacious

and they elbow their way

into positions

of America.

That is the emo?

of of of a group

that is commited

to like I say

building a government

that they are comfortable with.

In the end it's gonna come

like a thief in the night.

They are slow

shipping away

at the separation between

Church and State.

"Jesus died, was buried, three days later,

He rose from the deads.

Wasn't Jesus only a man?

No, Jesus Christ is Almighty God."

- Rachael, it's your turn.

- I know.

Go ahead, Rachael.

Yeah, yeah.

Get a this time!

Jesus Christ

your spirit will help me

to meet this .

Ball, I command you

in Jesus name

make a good .

Alright, Rachael!

- This side,.

- Ok

- Hi.

- Hi.

God is telling me that He

You are

he just wants to take you

and he just wants

to, and He has special

plans for you, in your life

and he just wants you to be able

to follow him with your whole heart.

- Mm, thank you.

- You're welcome.

- I appreciate it.

- Welcome.

Woaw! I

.

Yeah, I waited a little bit,
