“Jesus Camp” Review

Ran across the following information on The Macintosh Biblioblog and find it an interesting perspective…

“Jesus Camp” Review:
I’m not a fan of Michael Moore. I think he’s a bully; never saw the anti-Bush propanda film. But this Jesus Camp, the latest of his sensational documentaries intrigues me. I might try and see it. From a review by David Byrne:
It focuses on a woman preacher (Becky Fischer) who indoctrinates children in a summer camp in North Dakota. Right wing political agendas and slogans are mixed with born again rituals that end with most of the kids in tears.
Ever since I heard The West Wing make the point that “Al Qaida is to Islam as the KKK is to Christianity,” I’ve long thought that some extreme aspects of today’s religious right differs very little in methodology in terms of unquestioning indoctrination.
The most profound question the review makes is to ask
how did accepting the evidence for climate change and global warming become anti-Jesus?
Why has the religious right jumped on this anti-climate change self-deception? I can only think that it is a result from lying in bed with corporate conservatives (with a clear stake in the issue) within the Republican party for the sake of political success.
I really, really think God wanted us to take care of the earth. ::shrug::
