So, this is promoted by the entire evangelical movement?

The compelling documentary "Jesus Camp" demonstrates how those qualities are being cultivated in a generation of pintsize proselytizers.
Again, a generation of how many evengalical Christians - somewhere in North Dakota - are we talking about?

This definitely documents a sub-cult(ure) of Evangelical Christians but would the filmakers and the tinseltown critics like Ms. Linden care to quantify what they're talking about or do they stand by their assumption that these evangelicals are representative of millions, 10s of millions or 100s of millions of their co-religionists?

Is this simply another example of Michael Moore style yellow journalism, with the obvious attempt at equating Christianity with Islam? And if so, do you belive it for one minute?

EDIT: Hey! How about some of you Christians out their giving a nice Jewish lady a coffee break and handling the responses yourselves? :p
