James Cameron Is Apparently Satan.

No, really.



If Avatar is the most Satanic film he's ever seen, I'm curious as to what he would have to say about Cannibal Holocaust.

But here's something to think about. His abstract thesis of "spirituality" and "God" seems to be a bit misplaced. After all The Na'vi are very spiritual people. Within the context of the film, they seem more akin to what Christians are supposed to be. They worship a mysterious, invisible, deity. They have a Church ( you know, that really big tree they were all gathered at ). And that Church scene reminded me a great deal of the crowds at a Benny Hinn gathering. So to claim that there is some anti-christian imagery within the characters and actions of the Na'vi is a bit odd.

Of course, in order for a sermon like to to stick in the minds of the congregation, you have to connect it to some pop culture phenomenon. It makes a great deal of sense to me, even though the end result is complete nonsense.

The idea of "the world" being evil and attempting to destroy your Christian "values" is another misplaced metaphor, as the Army and mining company in the film are attempting to destroy the Na'vi's holy place. I'm not entirely sure that Driscoll was making that connection or not, as he started to meander so much that it was no longer even a semi-cogent point.

I did think it was interesting how he started to walk all this back towards the end. Gotta be able to maintain access to all those Devil loving film locations in LA, right?
