Heck, even if you have seen Jesus Camp, it&#8217;s likely you&#8217;ll still be amazed.<\/p>\n<p>A couple thoughts come to mind as I watched it.<\/p>\n<p>1. I&#8217;d never, ever, in a million years allow my child to take part in this.<\/p>\n<p>2. This is a wonderful example of social pressure in action.<\/p>\n<p>3. Check out some of the kids in the background. Some seem completely aware of the ruse. Others blatantly refuse to take part (yay for them).<\/p>\n<p>4. I liked how some of the kids simply *had* to brush hair out of their face while under the &#8220;unction.&#8221; I noted a few others laying on the floor quietly watching the incredible spectacle unfold. Another kid appears to be taking a short nap.<\/p>\n<p>5. The adult male in charge of this event is exceedingly creepy, targeting the kids who weren&#8217;t participating, seemingly trying to get them to act the way he wanted them to. He reminded me of a predatory hawk, circling his prey.<\/p>\n<p>6. Ugh. Just, ugh.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy&#8230; I guess.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Children forced to submit to horrifying &amp; bizarre Christian evangelical revival\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M-354MuFoAY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; If you haven&#8217;t seen Jesus Camp, you may find this video jaw droppingly odd.
