5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate portayal of "Christ-haunted" America, November 24, 2007

This review is from: Friends of God: A Road Trip with Alexandra Pelosi (DVD)

As a pastor ministering in the "Christ-haunted" South, I thought that "Friends of God" gives an accurate image of a religion that justifies American culture and a so-called religious ideology while at the same time, ignores the plight of the poor and the wars that we have created while creating an atmosphere of fear, ignorance and intolerance. For instance, I don't believe that Jesus would ask us to be "pro-life" while supporting capital punishment and an illegal war at the same time. I don't believe that Jesus would have us gather to worship in pristine "mega-churches" while our urban areas decay and millions of American children continue to be left behind by both the Democrats and the Republicans. Jesus calls us not merely to worship him, but more importantly, to follow him--not to justify ourselves and our own culture and lifestyle--but to advance the Kingdom of God. By that, he ministered to the poor, downtrodden, and to those on the outside of the mainstream who might be different than us. (Sorry about the short sermon! It's a great and thought provoking documentary!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and stupidly true, June 8, 2008

This review is from: Friends of God: A Road Trip with Alexandra Pelosi (DVD)

I've read several reviews that throw around terms like "liberal" and "biased". I can only blame it on two things; offence and ignorance. To deny that people like this exist is absurd.

There are extremists in every group which are unfortunately louder then those who are sane - thus generating the bad reputation that a lot of these groups end up with. This documentary showcases such crazy extremists.

I will never understand why politics started mixing so heavily with religion, as religion is NOT the birthplace of morality. But that is another matter.

This documentary is entertaining moreso then it is informative. I don't see an apparent bias, as Pelosi barely speaks with the exception of asking questions, which tend to be general and not particularly pointed or offensive (unlike Micheal Moore) as evident by the relaxed nature the interviewees exhibit while answering the questions. Yes, Pelosi may be a liberal, but that does not in and of itself mean that she is biased or hates Christians or any other absurd things said in the reviews on this website.

See it for yourself and make your own decision. Just understand that this documentary is about fundamental Evangelicals and is NOT about Christianity in general, as stated in the film's description.

5.0 out of 5 stars All Americans should watch this!, April 17, 2009

This review is from: Friends of God: A Road Trip with Alexandra Pelosi (DVD)

Unlike most liberal documentaries that mock Christianity, Pelosi really tries to get to know Christians in her roadtrip across America. This is a decent portrayal of red state America, including one of the last interviews with the legendary Jerry Falwell before his death.
