Intorduction to documentaries

The following video was created by Louis Theroux, who went to Topeka, Kansas in America, where he followed the people who follow Christ, in the Westbro Baptist church.

It was interesting to see how many young people that were following this somewhat offensive belief that all homosexuals should be punished by God. They truly believed that the word 'Fag' was the right term, which many people outside this "group" protested against.

The children seemed to be kind of brain washed into thinking that this was the right thing to do, they were made to hide their feelings; whenever they felt 'tempted', perhaps they were too afraid of being thrown out of theit 'colt'. As one child said, approximately 5 minutes in "there will always be a fight between spirit and the flesh", this shows that this child has been brought up with strong beliefs.

Families have lost many children, yet they don't seem to care, they have lost daughters, sons, parents; but none of them seem to want to get in contact because they feel that they have taken "a step away from God, into sin". There is a massive social and enviromental influence on all of the young children, for example making smaller signs for the smaller children to hold, so that they are not left out, which means that they start at a very early age, making it difficult for them to make any of their own decisions.
