To a Neocom, who poses the greatest threat to their world -

a terrorist or an atheist?

I don't know if this has been posted on DU as my computer has been down for 2 days. This came via e-mail today -

'A Movie To Avoid'

"I did check this out on snopes. I hadn't heard any press about this movie - on snopes it is certainly disturbing. I'm not mentioning it to my kids - I want to see what / when they hear about it.
Denise.

“We need to get the word out about this movie - Nicole Kidman stars in it. It is coming out in December - an atheist produced it and it is marketed for children. Based on a trilogy of books - at the end of the third book, they kill God.

“Send this to everyone you know.”

1. I think you may be conflating neocons and the religiously insane
The neocons could care less about god. Not to say necons, as individuals, don't care about god, but religion isn't a significant part of necon-ism.

7. It's common to conflate your political enemies.
Liberals often believe the religious right are neocons and vice versa, just as right-wingers often believe that environmentalists and socialists and terrorists are all the same thing.

4. I love communication, and think of the ability to do so as a religion!
Does that make me a neocoM?;)

10. They're likely not actual neocons,
but rather simple Republicans.
