This movie is a great lesson when religious extremist take power.  Why can't people let others be?  This really upsets my philosophy-self - will the slaughter of humans in the name of God ever stop?  This makes my heart cry for peace even stronger ...  if only we could agree to let everyone worship in their own way - which is what America was suppose to be - but it seems fundamentalist christian extremist are no different than muslin extremist - is this the theme of "the earth experiment"?  There is so much good here - maybe we will learn ...
