Just wanted to mention that I saw this movie at E Street a couple of weeks ago, so, it was here for a while! And, yes, majorly scary.

The kinds of sick and scary things that are done in the name of religion never fail to appall and disturb me. My faith is important to me, but I couldn’t have less in common with people like that, or their twisted approach to the world. Makes me wonder if they’ve actually studied the God who they claim to serve.

Another documentary that *infuriated* me was called “Soldiers In the Army of God”, profiling people who are violently anti-choice. The people who only seem to care about the sanctity of life *before* someone is born, but have no problem murdering a doctor or blowing up a women’s clinic. Frightening stuff. (It’s an old-ish HBO documentary, but well worth watching, if you can find it.)

Great title for this post, AM. And if I remember correctly, your dad is a minister, right? So we know religion isn’t something you take lightly or bash for just the heck of it. This movie sounds really scary – like the time I actually went to Sunday services at Falwell’s Thomas Road Baptist Church. I feared for my life and my entire worldview. We’ll see if tomorrow gives us a mini-revolution, or if these folks are actually winning. It scares me.

Twoste – I know I didn’t mean Islam as a PLACE. I changed it to “other countries” anyway.

Haha – what did those kids say back?

There is no place called Islam.
Also, it may be a stupid cliche — and a bumper sticker is not a political opinion — but one person’s suicide bomber/anti-government evangelical is another person’s freedom fighter/…umm, I got nothing…bad point…
I was just on the Metro and these Hispanic — and probably Catholic — kids asked me if I felt that if someone had gay sex they lost their virginity. I told them that I thought God would want it to be that way…:P
