This is an issue that my own family dealt with back in the late 1970s. Being from a one red light Southern town, the issue was handled extremely well for that period of time. It is amazing how progressive my whole family has become in these past twenty-five years with most still attending weekly worship services in fundamental type Churches that do not contain any of the hate as seen at the national level.

As you will see below there are five other conservative Christian families in the movie that are the same or presently dealing with the issue.

I will definitely see this one.

I will never understand degree of hate and hypocrisy that still exists in this country. Hiding behind the words of the bible, that is supposed to represent forgiveness and compassion, is nothing but ignorance and cowardice.

After seeing these clips, I remembered one I came across not long ago that really stuck in my head. It focuses on the war (and, Bush), and also illustrates the role that conservative christians play in this country and how they have empowered this administration.

It's just really sick. Like sheep running over a cliff. They truly believed they were doing God's work by voting for Bush. It reminds me of something along the line of: "in the end days, they will blindly follow false prophets" which describes the current Christian Right.
