Hollywood never treats using racial slurs as OK. Nor denigrating Jews. Nor denigrating Buddhism. Nor Islam.

But Hollywood practically makes it mandatory to use the name of Jesus as a pejorative word. To Hollywood, Jesus, the name above all other names, is a curse word to use derisively.

Death Wish is no different (7 times):

Often even the heroes of Hollywood films use God’s title combined with the d-word, and also use Jesus’ name to curse.

Rarely is Christ honored in Hollywood films.

If people who claim to be Christians would refuse to patronize films that dishonor Christ, Hollywood would quit doing it. Alas, the world is full of Kardashian Christians, who might as well be Christian Satan worshippers.

Exodus 20:7
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

Philippians 2:9-11
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

A true follower of Christ is someone who continues to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus. And those who abuse the name of Jesus are not His followers:

1 Corinthians 1:2
To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.

1 Corinthians 12:3
Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

What's interesting is that Paul Kersey is a gentle, liberal soul who wouldn't hurt a fly.

I KNOW it is Charles Bronson, but even the guy (actor) himself I'm sure was on the left of the spectrum.

I think it was an "answer" to Dirty Harry, who didn't give a $hit, with regards to victims rights.

He just wanted justice, however he could find it
