You can't say they're not organized
Too bad evangelicals can't organize around something worthwhile:
[From Chicago Sun Times]
There are still some religious leaders who are asking fellow Christians to boycott the film based on Dan Brown's mega-selling novel of the same name. One such group is calling for an "other-cott," asking "every Christian who loves Jesus" to buy tickets to any other movie besides "The Da Vinci Code" during its opening weekend, which begins this Friday.But a much larger, more organized and better-marketed movement among major evangelical leaders has been under way for months, urging the faithful to embrace the film as an opportunity to spread the gospel, rather than a threat to its sanctity.
In a survey earlier this year, Outreach Inc., a Christian marketing firm in Southern California hired by Mel Gibson's production company to market "The Passion of the Christ" to evangelicals, reported that 67 percent of churches planned to do something in response to the "Da Vinci" film.
Our favorite "Christian" teaching tool is a video called The Conspiracy Game. The video ridicules a "liberal" Episcopal bishop "who reduces the bible to tolerance," a feminist who "hates men," and of course a beret-wearing French intellectual. You can watch it here. (requires reg)
