Jesus Camp Page #3

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?

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.
