The second section of Jesus Camp gets a lot more dramatic and hard to watch. It begins with all the kids on their way to the church camp. The camp is lead by Becky Fisher who is in my mind a complete psycho. At the camp‚ Fischer stresses the need for children to purify themselves in order to be part of the "army of God".

Jesus VS. Beowulf Over the ages‚ many have pondered "what makes a hero?" Over those same ages‚ we’ve seen many people try to put forth a single definition as to what defines a hero. One of man’s earliest examples was Beowulf‚ the valiant hero called forth to slay the evil beast Grendel. Beowulf is portrayed as a man with wits‚ physique‚ and morality superior to all others. Perhaps the earliest example of another hero would be Jesus‚ the man Christians claim to be the savior of mankind. Jesus
