I could not finish it, hell I could not get very far into it, it reminded me to much of the "retreats" I had to go on in Catholic High-School. They were not remotely as bad, but were in the same vain and just far to similar.

I remember the room being so hot in the "hour" (10pm-2am is not an hour) long adoration that I felt like I was going to have a heat stroke. One of my classmates began talking in tongues and shaking and all I could think was that she only drank mountain dew all day, we were on top of a mountain,and it was blistering hot in the room. I doubt there was any divine explanation behind that.

At the time things did not seem super weird like they did when I saw that movie. It was odd but only religion, no big deal... That movie, and seeing that happen on such a worse scale to little kids made me physically ill.

If I had to pin down a moment that I began to get weary of Catholicism I would point to that retreat. It disgusted me afterwards, and disturbed me, and it was worse because I caught myself seeing things and believing things that I knew could not be real (read I had a hallucination of talking to god and seeing him, I felt manipulated and resentful when I realized I fell for the same things that some of my classmates did).

Two years later at the same place, I went from a Wiccan to a Catholic again and then about a day later when I could think, and looked back, yet again from the outside in. I felt pissed, and manipulated, I realized the insanity of all these things and just could not do it anymore.

Jesus Camp hit a little to close to home for me. The whole thing is just so disgusting whether its large or small, manipulation and psychological abuse is horrible and the hall marks of organized religion.
