Freakiest Thing About this Docu


Did anybody notice how there was little to no commentary. Just titles on the screen and dramatic music basically. The subjects were pretty much embarassing themselves the whole time.

I agree. I was mesmerized by the insanity I was hearing. Like they thought all of this was totally normal, and when they weren't being Jesusy they seemed like ok people. I can't imagine what it's like to be so willfully misinformed about life.

Levi's mom "teaching" them infuriated me--"When you look at it, intelligent design really is the only answer that makes sense. It's interesting when you look at it that way" and the global warming denial.

Jesus Christ, what the hell is wrong with people. If a kid's temperature climbs 5 degrees you take them to a hospital, but a rising of .6 degrees each year isn't an issue.

Although it wouldn't surprise me if they were Christian Scientists and didn't believe in using hospitals either.

God will cure them. Oh this was indeed the scariest movie I've Ever seen. Those poor kids, with no life to live like that. I'm hopeful at least a few will wake up and sense the idocracy this is and will go on to enjoy their lives...

Yes, it spoke for itself. I thought the movie was strange with no commentary. I kept thinking maybe the second half of the docu would present the opposite take on things. But with the lady coming out of the car wash at the end---and it opening up for her, like they always do---made me think of it as symbolic, like the 'parting' of the Red Sea. She probably thought it was god opening up the car wash for her to go talk to a burning bush.
