So the trailer to my least favorite film of all time dropped. I think they are just making these to parody themselves at this point. The first two films were basically Persecution Complex: The Motion Picture with really insane and mean spirited ideals. The second film even gave a number at the end of the film of a hate group to support! I have not see the third one yet but I heard its not as mean spirited. However it looks like part for goes back to its roots.

I haven't seen any of this series. It sounds like they create a strawman...an illusion of what the other side is doing, and then burn it. It's a bit like when some politician at a rally exclaims that "we can say merry Christmas again' and the crowd erupts in cheers...as if there was ever a time in the US when you were prevented from saying merry Christmas.
But it is interesting that at least from the trailer it sounds like the God they want to proclaim in schools is the Christian one...and likely not just ANY Christian god, but a specific Christian version of God. Would they be so keen if the folks who won were...say...LDS or JW or Scientologists or Catholics (if these people aren't of the RCC) or [insert religion]?
I personally don't think any public school should be saying anything yeah or nay about religion...ie they ought not teach there is no God or qualify/discuss the pros/cons of God or believing in God. I think that should be left up to the parents/guardians and who THEY want to teach their kids about spiritual matters. But neither do I think it's a good idea for one version of God-believers to have the say in what version of God is taught or that any version of God should be taught. And if you take away the 'version' the 'religion' or the denomination, you're just touting some nebulous 'god' meme that could be anything and would be as useful as espousing invisible aliens living on the moon.
