God's Warriors

[Arios V]

Don't know if anyone else here knows about this, but today, tomorrow and Thursday CNN will be airing three 2-hour specials entitled "God's Warriors" about fanatics and fundamentalists from the world's 3 major religions: Judaism, Islam and Christianity. Just thought I'd bring it up.

The schedule is:

Judaism: Tonight at 9 p.m. (Y'all probably missed it, but I'm sure they'll be re-runs, if not, I'm sure you can find it somewhere)

Islam: August 22 at 9 p.m.

Christianity: August 23 at 9 p.m.

A little preview:

Cuture War (Christianity)

Holy Killing (Islam)

Murder In Hebron (Judaism)

BEHOLD.

I hath beat you to it by several days. pirate


Anyhow, I caught most of the Jewish one at work tonight. It was pretty good, if not a little disturbing.

Same here. I was kind of hoping they would get into why these religion are breeding fanatics, rather than why the fanatics are killing each other. I already know that. Silly theists. rolleyes

I wasn't here all last week, I didn't see that post. Then again, I should have realized that someone had probably already posted about it.

The company I work for does the closed captioning for CNN and CNN Headline news, so if anything remotely interesting comes up there, I usually end up posting about it.

But most of the time, unfortunately, it has to do with something stupid Glenn Beck said. rolleyes

s**t, I just watched that video.

Red flags, bright lights, an isolated speaker on an island above the crowd, deafening soundsystems. It's like a cross between a rally under the Khmer Rouge and a Guns and Roses concert.

Anyone who does not believe that the link between religion and politics is obvious must simply have no eyes.

I know. Even my Mum acknowledges it. And she's one of those liberal Catholics who think the crazy Evangelicals are just a harmless group of intolerant bastards who are a very tiny minority and will go out of power after George Bush leaves the White House.

When I first watched that video, the very first thing I thought was that this looks a bit like when any military dictator whips his followers into a frenzy just before going to war.

It's good to know where the Christian right gets their inspiration.

Damn, I want to see that... maybe they'll have it on sometime in the future...

I missed Thursday's episode, which is the one I really wanted to see. I think it'll eventually be on youtube, because I noticed that the other two are on there already.

I guess I'll just have to sit tight then. confused

You didn't miss a whole lot. The only thing that really got me was the Battlecry thing. I swear this Ron Luce guy looks like he is planning on taking over the country.

Encores tonight and tomorrow at 9. I'm stoked.

Or YouTube as I'm doing right now. biggrin
