Hey Now, Don't Go Forgetting Who Made All Those Pretty Trees....

The Vatican reviews Avatar, with some hard-to-hide nervousness about how religiously influential the movie, and its sequels and prequels and vidgames and TV series and books, its eco-theology, will become, or what they might inspire :

"(Avatar) gets bogged down by a spiritualism linked to the worship of nature."

"...it cleverly winks at all those pseudo-doctrines that turn ecology into the religion of the millennium."

"So much stupefying, enchanting technology, but few genuine emotions...."

"Everything is reduced to an overly simple anti-imperialistic and anti-militaristic parable."

"Nature is no longer a creation to defend, but a divinity to worship."

The Vatican is afraid of the competition.

It's crystal clear already that eco-worship, what I and many others have described as 'Green Jesus', will become the most popular, and most powerful, religious movement in the second half of the 21st century.
