Short Takes
The Institute on Religion and Democracy attacks the nominee to lead the National Council of Churches. UCC blogger Chuck Currie responds:
It didn't take long... Time magazine reports on documents that show that the same source of evidence of bribery that prosecutors used against Democratic Gov. Don Seigelman of Alabama, was not used to even investigate, let alone prosecute, religious right Republican pols Sen. Jeff Session (R-AL) and former Alabama Attorney General, now federal judge, William Pryor. The Christian Science Monitor reports on the question: "Are U.S. troops being force-fed Christianity?" Iannis Mookas complains in Gay City News, that among other things, Lake of Fire lacks "movement organizing" perspectives and "gives short shrift to ordinary pro-choice activists." He also objects to the assertion that the film is in any way "definitive." Loyal Mehnert, at the movie buff site World of KJ writes:
What's most striking about Lake of Fire is how it develops the debate beyond the simple context of a women's right to choose and protecting the rights of the unborn baby. We learn how class struggle, religion, political affiliation, education, sexuality, science, philosophy, racism, big government, US history, and gender equality all factor in. The hypocrisy presented of killing abortion doctors to save fetuses, while tens of millions of children die worldwide from malnutrition and easily treated diseases is almost unbearable.
Let the debates begin!
