==Anti-conservative content in James Cameron's Avatar==

''Avatar'' is laced with pessimistic and anti-Christian messages about [[environmentalism]]. The film also imputes base motives to the [[War on Terror]] in several instances. At one point, the major villain, a [[USMC]] colonel, commends his protégé on his military service in [[Nigeria]] and [[Venezuela]]. It is subtly implied that [[US]] actions in these countries in some unspecified point in the future were carried out for the sole purpose of securing the last commercially viable oil deposits on Earth. During the production of the film, however, dangerous [[Communist]] dictator [[Hugo Chavez]] was in power in Venezuela and Nigerian [[Muslim]] [[terrorist]] [[Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab]] acted mere months after the film's release.

Worst of all, ''Avatar'' presents a religious worldview both [[materialistic]] and [[pagan]]. The natives of Pandora, the fictional [[moon]] on which the film takes place, are said to enter the [[afterlife]] only through the physical duplication of their minds in a kind of [[neural network]] distributed across the roots of the many trees all over densely-forested Pandora. In other words, a [[reductionist]] view of [[consciousness]] is taken which does not account for the immaterial [[soul]]; [[heaven]] is only attained by the transfer of one material [[brain]] into another.
