In a effort to better understand the pathology to becoming a conservative ideologue, I watched two documentaries that exposed the religious aspect of that process. The first was entitled “ Jesus Camp.” Produced in 2004 it revealed their game plan of exposing the Evangelical-Pentecostal movement that was so instrumental in re-electing George Bush to the office of the Presidency. Those having seen it will recall the composition of the children who participated as being of all racial groups in this boot camp of indoctrination to it’s theme. Theses children ranged in age from as young as 4 to as old as 16. What I witnessed was a mind altering, emotional, speaking in tongues, and yes, “cultish” appearance. The camps drill instructor was a middle age female southern Pentecostal minister. She evoked the dangers of exposing the youth to Harry Potter and the likelihood of her image appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine as being her ardent wish. In the documentary there appeared a Colorado Evangelical Minister named Haggard who announced the defeat of liberalism from the pulpit of his “Mega Church,” a congregation consisting of more than 2000 members. He continued by announcing that the Evangelical movement was the fastest growing in the World. A new “Mega Church” opens it’s doors every 48 hours across the globe. With George W. Bush as it’s standard bearer. The minister named Haggard, it was revealed at the credits at the end of the documentary, resigned in shame after it was revealed he had been in an affair with a male escort for a significant number of years. In next blog I will tell about the documentary “Constantine’s Sword.” I think you will agree it’s content is eye opening about the Anti-Semitic charge leveled at today’s 2 billion plus Christian’s.
