From the Times Viewing Guide to tonight's TV – Praying for Armageddon: Storyville, on BBC2., "which focuses on the evangelical right in the US and hopes among some that America’s relationship with Israel could somehow lead to Armageddon and the Second Coming of Christ".
Christian fundamentalism is a favourite subject for documentary makers. It allows them to show extreme behaviour and religious fervour without offending some of the other leading world faiths.
Ain't that the truth.
Islamist fervour is a major factor in our political landscape – mainly, but not only, in the Middle East. But yes, they do get offended easily. It's a lot safer to stick with these wacky Christian fundamentalists…
