I watch a little guy on Fridays and while he was napping, I watched this. I in no way want to be insulting or hurt yours or anyone else's feelings on this. So I will try to give an honest opinion that is sensitive to you and your brother and your past friendship with this Becky Fischer.
I pretty much feel the same way the radio announcer that was interspersed throughout felt. God gave us a brain and I honestly believe that you can be a person of very strong faith, but also continue to learn. I know someone who feels that college is bad for kids as it leads them away from church. What? Keep them stupid so they will be easier to lead, a nice flock of sheep to follow whatever the cult says? I didn't like the camp itself for the fact it seemed very militant. And the message was very severe for these kids. THe fact that these children looked scared and were weeping and so upset... it felt like emotional child abuse to me. We are ALL sinners. And I felt like this camp put unrealistic expectations on these babies.... yes, it doesn't hurt to expect our children to be the best they can be, but one little misstep and they would be flogging themselves practically. And one little girl (the activist child who kept approaching people) said that God only visits the churches who are vocal and praising Jesus loudly and with flare. (My words) People who quietly worship in their church, well, God isn't going to go to their church. I think this is so wrong to teach kids. It was just ugly. Any exclusion of anyone for any reason is not Christianity in my book.
I do agree with the message that the children are our future, but I want educated children who have compassion and understanding and love for their fellow man whether they believe their way or not. I felt the camp was anti Christian in it's lack of these things towards "non-believers" or Christians who aren't as fervent as they were.
And, the fact that they were speaking in tongues to pray -- Nope. There are many religions that chant or use mantras so I guess if they would have said lets now all do a mantra, I might have been more on board with it. But the fact she said, "Let's pray in tongues" and then they all started babbling-- nope, can't get on board with that. It just seems creepy to me.
Also, when she condemned Harry Potter, gah, the ignorance!
I knew pretty quick these were not Christians I would want in my life in any way. It's brainwashing. Scare tactics. and it's not God's Love if you believe in God.
