Do only Athiests hate this camp?


The kids crying, I mean, it's not like they were in pain. They were just showing their love for God. Granted, some scenes were extreme, like the children speaking in tongue. Also the way the kids "prayed" was a bit over the top. But the rest, I see no wrong. I feel like Athiests were the ones over exaggerating over this film. They call it brainwashing, but I don't see how. I'm catholic, so maybe that's why I can't see it like the rest of you guys.

I am very much a theist and this movie worries me. This is the second time I've watched it. I dont know if i really remember the preacher noting the jihadists last time, but it was very shocking to hear that and compare it with what she is doing. I agree with someone else who said that they are missing out on the main point of camp-the nature. I've worked and volunteered at a camp for 6 years now and we make a point that it is a place apart. The amazing thing about camp is that you can look around and see God's creation a little easier than when we are at home.
It was also shocking with me to hear the little girl talk about what kind of churches God wants to be in.
