 They get a children's version of the gospel read to them, then the leader asks if anyone has an example of the message, eg. Here Jesus talks about the importance of being kind to each other, can anyone think of a time when they were kind to others? Then they are given sheets with wee Jesus cartoons and puzzles and questions like, Write about three times when you felt sad? Tehy colour them in and have wee chats and then they go backt o the church to join their parents. That's how it was done whenever I used to run the Children's Liturgy in my church, anyway. Although the kids were only gone for about 15-20 minutes, and we're Catholics. 
Do you mean that they didn't strap them into chairs with their eyes taped open and bombard them with images of homosexuals and Muslims killing baby deer? Strange. It's almost like Jesus Camp wasn't an accurate cross-section of how churches deal with children.

indoctrinating children with information in any event is wrong, i agree. my point is that children should learn how to think critically rather than substitute gaps in their knowledge with dogma.
So we should not teach children anything until they are old enough to decide what it is they want to learn?

It's true. It's actually a grievous crime against humanity that Americans...neigh all men every where... begin indoctrinating their children at birth with on language. What happens when that little Parisian child decides that if he had been allowed to exercise his free will that Turkish would have been his first language. It's too late. Those filthy parents indoctrinated him with French, forever tainting his linguistic interactions with the rest of the world. Here is America, we let the government start indoctrinating our children at five with things like science, math, and...literature! It's shameful really.

Go to a black church. They are much more enjoyable and lively and not stuck up.

if you could explain how religious beliefs are not complex i'd like to read it.
I can only speak for myself and my belief, but it's pretty basic. I believe in God, the creator, who has given us life and wants us to love each other. I believe that He sent His Son to teach us more of the things He wants us to know. Not complex at all. Learning all of those things He wants us to know may involve a little time and effort, but I don't see that as complex or even complicated. Less complex than learning a language or even basic math. It's certainly not 'rocket science'.

Church is basically like public schools are now days.
Exept it's ALL preaching!
Children learn about evolution in 5'th grade and stuff!
It's just a diferent religion that's taught.
