Just watched "Bad Faith" yesterday, the laughable spawn of some outfit called Heretical Reason Productions, whose web site speaks volumes.  I urge my readers to have a look at both.  As to the documentary,  they will discover that it is a tissue of half-truths, glaring omissions of pertinent facts, ridiculous juxtapositions, straw man fallacies, biblical and theological misinterpretation, innuendo, hysteria, political grievances and self-congratulatory posturing. The footage featuring the preposterous religious lefty William Barber II, a political activist posing as a Christian pastor, was particularly hilarious.  A left-wing hit piece, in other words. Like this article, which mentions the documentary and whose unhinged author sounds very much like a certain Continuing Anglican priest we all know.  But I digress.

While ostensibly a commentary on the rise of Christian Nationalism, the film targets the American right generally.  To the leftist, there is really no difference between political conservatism and fascism.  Remember that they called Ronald Reagan a fascist.  And realize that the question of who the real "fascists" are, and consequently where the true threat to liberty is found, is a live one.

As recently outlined here and elsewhere on this blog, the left was birthed in political violence and has a demonstrable historical record of it.  Rightist political violence, historically, is largely a reaction to it and to its depradations of Western culture.   We are still awaiting for confirmation of initial reports that arson is the cause of the First Baptist Dallas fire, where Robert Jeffress, who is one of the Christian Nationalist demons named in "Bad Faith", serves as senior pastor.  If it is arson, we know who the culprits will likely be, just as we know who the culprits likely are in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.   Even if it isn't, the potential for the kind of left-wing violence we observed a few years ago is increasing in spades, and films like "Bad Faith" won't help to stem this rising tide of political violence in the United States.
