I saw this movie last night. If you haven't seen it, it's out on video now, so go rent it and watch it.
What you see in the movie is nothing short of brainwashing. I agree that parents have the right to raise their children in whatever way they wish, but it's hard to stomach the absolute control these parents and pastors wield over these children. These children live in a world that is more or less a giant bubble, where they are protected from outside information and disinformed by the people inside the bubble. These evangelicals talk about their love of freedom, yet they give their children none.
Even their youth pastor agrees that what they are doing in this movie is extreme indoctrination, and she sees nothing wrong with it as it is what Muslims are doing to their children. To me, this just seems to be sinking to their level, and I want no part of it.
It's quite scary to me to think that a not-insignificant portion of the United States would restrict their children so and indoctrinate them with this kind of intellectual poison. I say this as a mainline Protestant. Children should have the choice in what they believe, and adults should respect their roles as educators, not abuse them, as they did in the film.
It's also very disturbing to see all the sheeple.
