Let's be honest, if the moderates were the ones on the rise, this movie would have never been made. Instead our religious dialogue in this country is controlled by the "Katrina happened because there was going to be a pride parade" crowd. That isn't to say that the moderates have more to base their claims on then the literalists but do you think that Bill would still be riding this issue if they represented the majority of beleivers in this country?
Let's stop pretending he is being unfair. This needs to be said. Yesterday someone at my local paper's website posted a comment blaming the economic crisis on God punishing America for abortion. This. Needs. To. Stop. We need to stop letting these people make bullshit claims about God that can't be backed up to promote whatever issue THEY think is important. If God collapsed the economy for any reason, it would most likely be the war in Iraq. I can't prove it of course but in the recent political/religous climate in this country that doesn't really matter anymore.
