Lord, Save Us from Your Followers (2008)

In this thought-provoking documentary, Dan Merchant takes the Jesus fish to the next level. He wears a jumpsuit plastered with conservative and liberal bumper stickers. Through a man-on-the-street perspective, he examines the cultural divide between ring-wing conservative and socialist leftists.

If Merchant accomplishes anything here in Lord, Protect Us from Your Followers, he succeeds in asking Christians to examine themselves. “You call yourself a Christian, but can you call yourself Christ-like?” he asks where faith and culture collide.

Why do Christians spew such hate and rhetoric? Why do they seem so close-minded? And yet, the leftists mirror their actions and come across as the saner of the two.

As I see it and regardless of where you are on the ideological spectrum, this documentary will challenge not only your faith, but also your actions.
