Jane Fonda talks about how she is 'riveted' by faith and why feminism is what Jesus taught
From her longtime political activism to her Oscar-winning acting, Jane Fonda has never done anything halfheartedly, and she brings this characteristic intensity to her faith. When she talks about "feeling the presence of the Almighty," her view of Jesus, and the way she prays, her voice wells from deep within her chest. You may know this voice from her films (among dozens of others: Barbarella, Klute, On Golden Pond, and currently in theaters, Monster-in-Law), or from her aerobics videos ("feel the burn!"), or from film reels from the sixties, when she spoke out against the Vietnam War. Fonda, now 67, spoke with us recently about her spirituality.

I think feminism is another way of teaching what Jesus taught, that we are all full human beings with the right to have our humanity seen and respected.
Gag me.
She also drops the name of Elaine Pagels, the apostate of "The Gnostic Gospels" fame, as one of her spiritual mentors.
If she is a Christian, I'm from a small planet near Betelgeuse.
Jesus said "You will know them by the fruits they bear."
Funny. She has the right to express her thoughts on religion and Christianity because of the sacrifice of soldiers like the ones she helped torture in Hanoi. What a B****. Anybody got some Red Man - I need to learn to chew.
HAH! True. I'd forgotten.
Wow, that vacuous expression could make a Hoover green with envy...
Jane, you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
She's also a person who says that she really hopes for a Hillary Clinton presidency, though she doesn't think it will happen. I read that in Time magazine the other day . . .
You beat me to it. The absolute First Thought that went through my mind was Liberation Theology....
If you want to check up on a real wacko, look at some of the writing by Manning Marable. Noam Chomsky is a weirdo, along with a truckload of other liberal nut jobs. One of the big time Old Money guys (an economist -- name eludes me at this second) is a control-oriented Socialist.
The Left is totally insane. Throw the "anti family" agenda into the mix and you have a really strange world view.
They all worship other "gods"
No one really cares SPITOON JANE.
If she is a Christian, I'm from a small planet near Betelgeuse.
Exactly. I was suspicious with all of the 'Jane Fonda found God' talk. Now we know that she is a Gnostic fool for sure. I'm sure she loved The DaVinci Code as well...
Uh-oh. Sophia's back. And I think we under-estimated her/him...
Priceless! May we use that as her new moniker?
I am "riveted" by Hanoi Jan's treason. She has a lot of explaining to do for extended stays for some (now ex-) POWs and potentially some that were killed.
She makes a great NVA psyop poster child, that I will concede. And that's all I am willing to concede.
"Christianity is my spiritual home?"
I think I'm going to be ill!
What these clowns will say to sell a friggin' book!
Haven't the alimony checks been coming from the nutcase Turner???
You still are, sweetheart.
Little Janie knows a few of the cliches of religiosity and "churchianity," but throughout her interview, she has absolutely no reference to Christ. And without Christ, no one is a christian. "Feelings" and "upwellings" and liver-quivers are meaningless.
Sorry, Jane, you're not credible. You've had no conversion. You have been a feminist, and now you think you can be a christian feminist.
Reminds one of Mickey Cohen, the gangster. He got "religion" like Janie, and thought he could be a christian gangster! It doesn't work that way!
What's Red Man?
Oh Paleeze! She can't even properly take-up arms against her own countrymen. And she certainly doesn't understand atonement.
Chew.
Which produces an excess of saliva...
Some use the excess saliva to, shall we say, paint targets of opportunity.
This is controversial, but it can happen!
Hanoi Jane is a Christian. Now I've heard everything. Nowadays every celebrity is finding RELIGION. Except that it's the religion that they define themselves. I have also heard that there are abortion doctors that claim to be Christians, just as there are practicing homosexuals that claim to be Christians. Yes, and Adolph Hitler also called himself a Christian.
You can call yourself whatever you want but that doesn't mean that you believe it. They only do it to gain acceptance.
