Be that as it may, at the very least, the undeniability of the child sex trafficking problem coupled with the outrage provoked by the "Sound of Freedom" provide fertile opportunity for conscious raising and dialog about politics and Christian faith across the political spectrum.
On the one hand, the coupling predisposes both conservatives and liberals to entertain the possibility that "our" government and those three-lettered agencies might be more directly involved in the issue than "Sound of Freedom" indicates.
On the other hand, the film opens the door to genuine conversations about the social justice dimensions of Christianity. Like it or not, and despite fundamentalist protestations to the contrary, child sex trafficking is a social justice issue. For instance, its director admits that he wants to "change the world."
That is, the position that "God's children are not for sale," represents a statement about free market capitalism and about the social relevance of Christian faith.
Injunctions to "connect the dots" means connecting ALL THE DOTS even at the risk of accurately identifying the CIA's undeniable role as a conspiracy theory machine.
