the Christian left as opposed to the Christian right

The most evil place on earth is the place where the difference is the greatest between the good that might be possible and the evil that actually is. That place today is the USA but it was not always USA. Once it was Russia and maybe even the Soviet Union. In these times there was an evil Christian right and a good Christian left but the big fraction was the evil Christian right so the revolution threw out Christianity all together. And today in the USA things are not much different and more and more people are waiting for the revolution in the USA, unfortunately though, those people are not in the USA - they are like me, outside looking in. This is a film on a novel by Tolstoy and, as far as reality goes, it is quite naive. But that's quite OK. That's how novels should be - something that shows us how good things might be and not just how evil they actually are. It is the message of the Christian left, which is always revolutionary just like Christ was and not evil like the pope who told South Americans that Christ was not an anarchist, which, of course, he was most assuredly. There is a struggle between the Christian left and the Christian right in USA today. In the media however we only see the evil Christian right. This film is more about the good Christian left. See it.
