Now if you wanted to teach kiddies about the Revolutionary War PBS and Walter Cronkite put together a show about 10 years ago called Liberty's Kids.

You should have kids watch this just for the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger is Baron von Stueben, Ben Stiller is Thomas Jefferson, and Liam Neeson is John Paul Jones.

The kids are watching this at the beginning of Jesus Camp.

I'm a minute in and this is already amazing "Scientists say dinosaurs never co-existed with man, how do they know, I mean, were they there?"

The best part is the dinosaur just tickling him because Death wasn't A Thing yet.

I used to work at a bookstore and I don't think the original cover mentions the fact the father is/was a pastor (it may have said something in the captions to photos inside but I doubt it). Also a lot of the "rules" about the "heaven" the kid "visited" are inconsistent (his grandfather was a youthful man but his miscarried sister is a little girl). The cover and the book itself make it seem like the kid should have barely any knowledge of the stuff as if his parents were agnostic or only went to church every so often.

Also Jesus wears a crown (like honest to God gold pointy thing with gems in it) and rides a rainbow horse which is just loving dumb.

I remember turning off Jesus Camp half way through because I found it pretty unremarkable. I watched it around the same time as some mormon doc that was about how the LDS wasn't too keen on gay people which I also found pretty dull. I guess these are illuminating to people who grew up outside of the US?

Grew up outside of the US? If you don't live in flyover country that type of Christianity is really alien to your day to day life.

It's like the paternal equivalent of guys only backing off when a girl tells them she has a boyfriend, since they only respect other men.

Or they know they don't have a shot with her since she's chosen someone else?
