(another) ignorant pastor comes to his senses and tells his personal story
15 January 2012
as has been said above, Constantine's Sword could be grouped as just another former preacher lashing out at Christianity for what he has discovered to be a web of lies (YOU HEAR THAT YOU GOD DAMN IGNORANT FUNDAMENTALISTS? Christianity IS A WEB OF LIES AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT AND YOU KNOW IT TOO!), but i think this film would be best understood in the context of the many films/stories/testimonials/etc telling a similar story of a formerly devout follower who was so convinced of their belief(s) in a religion but has "seen the light" and are coming out against their former way of thinking. my favorite response from fundamentalists, an example of which i'm sure will make it into this comment section, is to say that the person who has come out was never properly enlightened in the first place, but that argument fails on it's face because it assumes a priori that a religious belief is factually true and whenever someone comes out, the religious follower will just restate their beliefs amended around the facts presented.

thats a long way of saying i don't think Constantine's Sword ever attempts or was intended to provide a complete destruction of religious beliefs, but is just another example of a person once fooled by religion being enlightened and feeling compelled to share their story. again and again and again and again people are coming to their senses and films like this are just another example of what we need to be the new enlightenment unless we want to continue to allow ignorant ideologies and ignorant hate speech to lead us into war after war (i especially enjoyed the maybe five minute focus alloted to our dear leader leading the post 9/11 war on terror).

whether or not you are an ignorant fundamentalist, or just a "regular" fundamentalist (we're all laughing at you!), watch this film. open your eyes. think about the future. please help steer the future away from religion.

we are all developing the future, don't let your contribution be one of ignorance.
