Did Dawkins humiliate himself by going to the evangelical turf and kicking the pavilion, so he stopped talking. Saw Jesus Camp today and found out that our old friend Ted Haggard is back in action. This time it was absolutely shining, and the little friends in the film felt that the lights were dazzling when they came to the Ted stage. The subtitle also highlights that Ted is the president of the National Evangelical Federation and talks to President Bush and his advisers every Monday.
Ted Haggard made a particularly eloquent speech, supporting the Bible and demeaning comrades, saying: "We've decided the Bible is the word of God. We don't have to have a general assembly of what we believe. It's written in the bible, alright? So we don't have to debate about what we should think about homosexual activity. It's written in the Bible!"
I'd love to know when this film was made. Jesus Camp was released in 2006, and at the end of the same year, Ted resigned due to male prostitutes and drug scandals. The male prostitute saw Ted openly oppose same-sex marriage. Out of righteous indignation, he said that since it is all glass, what kind of meteorite are you playing? So, Ted put on the business, put on the big business. The end result was Ted's ruin.
These fundamentalists with a strong Pentecostal overtone ("evangelical" is so loosely defined as that term) are aggressive. In their eyes, the world is a battleground for good and evil, and they stand on God's side and must win: "It's massive warfare everyday! Let the battle begin!" They insist on the literal infallibility of the Bible, against abortion, against evolution , oppose Harry Potter (囧), do not recognize global warming, they support politicians from evangelical backgrounds, do not ask the politicians future policies at all, just pray for them, believing that God will help him make the right decisions. If they gain power, I am afraid that the United States will be like Afghanistan under the Taliban. It's not without reason that Christian fundamentalists and Islamic fundamentalists are called fundamentalists...
Now, this denomination is growing very fast, as Ted said, an average of one such church is established every two days. Not only that, but Ted also said: "We have the power to sway any election. As long as the evangelicals vote, the outcome of the election can be decided." Jerry Falwell's moral majority has produced the fruit of Ted Haggard: the senior magician. Thinking back, shudder: If Ted's scandal hadn't been brought to light, he would have been so influential, perhaps even influencing the president's decision-making. So, are the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq behind the shadows of geniuses like Ted? Isn't the fight against terror in Bush's mouth the showdown between good and evil in Ted's mouth? Use evil to defeat evil, I don't know what's wrong. If the world is their battlefield, then everyone is cannon fodder.
