Blue Heaven

Avatar, nominated for Best Picture among others at the Academy Awards this year, has caused the American Christian right wing to work itself to a greater frenzy of rage than even Bill Clinton or the Harry Potter books. Its crimes include not just promoting paganism - hell, we knew they'd hate that, but also being 'anti-capitalist'.

Anti-capitalist? Sure, you know Jesus the Capitalist. So who was the Jesus who overturned the money lenders' tables at the temple and said the meek would inherit the earth? Guess that must be another one.
