Jenna, as I already alluded to, the real problem that I have with this "camp" is that these children are not old enough to form their own opinions. They are basically being indoctrinated, I don't have a problem with them loving God and Christ,in a manner that is not conducive to being a respectable citizen. Instead, they are essentially being told, albeit subtlely, to kill for what they believe. This is where I begin to have problems.
Now, to my mind, there will be one or more of these kids that are going to deduct, "you know what, it's okay for me to harm someone who doesn't believe as I do." What kind of a message is that? How can one unify such an ideology with what Christ taught? You can't.

Are you going to say the same thing about every church that teaches children about their faith?

[They aren't being trained to murder for goodness sake. They are talking about a spiritual war not of this world.

But the God they worship dosn't sound like my God. My God is loving, kind, and most of all FORGIVING. My God loves everyone, for he created us the way he intended us to. he wrote the book for my life.
