I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves.

I am definitely Christian and do not agree with the way that they raise their kids at all. I couldn't imagine caring that much about my daughter's virginity after a certain age. Or hope that my son goes off to war and comes home thinking that he will be some type of hero with some virgin waiting for him. They do not seem to be in the real world if you ask me. These types of people scare me.

If I should fall asleep and death takes me away don't be surprised son, I wasn't put here to stay.

Well, there are roughly 40,000 Christian denominations in existence, each with different beliefs, values, customs and interpretations. So you would have to be more specific when using the term "christian".. However, this strange phenomena of the "purity balls" and the type of christian (don't know which sect they belong to) depicted in this doco seems to be confined to a small minority, mostly in North America. So no, the majority of Christians don't raise their kids this way.
