    The second section of Jesus Camp gets a lot more dramatic and hard to watch. It begins with all the kids on their way to the church camp.

She strongly believes that children need to be in the forefront of turning America toward conservative Christian values and way. She also feels that Christians need to focus on

    Jesus Camp “It is no wonder‚ with that kind of intense training and discipline‚ that those young people are ready to kill themselves for the cause of Islam. I want to see young people who are as committed to 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 and Israel and Palestine and all those different places‚ you know‚ because we have… excuse me‚ but we have the truth

    seems like everything in Revelations is coming true. We need Jesus now more than ever. The opening scene of the documentary was very misleading: just think… if you were an “outsider” looking in… and had no idea what Christianity or who this‚ Jesus person‚ they keep talking about was. You would think this woman is crazy‚ and she is manipulating these kids. Well that’s exactly how they feel. Fischer is emphasizing that they must fight for Jesus but also accusing the Muslim race for teaching their kids
