    Religeon is the Root of all Evil !!!

    This is a great film if you’re even slightly interested in Religion

    This film follows children in there daily lives. All the children are evangelical Christians and have been brought up with the bible at hand.

    Personally this film made me physically sick and of course even stronger in my beliefs of atheism.

    Although it was shocking at how parents allow there children to live I found it very interesting.

    If anyone believes in an invisible man then you should consider watching this and even if you are an atheist then this is a still an interesting video.

    Although it did make me, at times, sick to my stomach i have watched it several times and i do like it

    Jesus Camp

    Saw this on television only the other night, and I have to admit it was fascinating, although I did not see it to the end as it was on very late.

    I did find it alarming that such young children are being told that they have to keep the devil from them - particularly harrowing is the fact that some of these children as young as 6 are crying their eyes out for being such 'bad' children and allowing the devil to get them!! At one point the main lady shouts out that Harry Potter is evil and that Warlords are not accepted and that in the real world he would have been sent to his death for his behaviour. You watch this documentary and find yourself wanting to see the children playing normally, watching a good fantasy/fairytale movie, drawing pictures of transformers or teletubbies - instead these children are practicing their preaching, drawing pictures of huge brown crosses and constantly worrying about keeping the devil at bay!!!

    All that said, I do believe in everyone is entitled to their own views, but I just felt that the children were being brainwashed to some extent
