American society has elevated celebrity entertainers to idols.
Actors, musicians, atheletes, supermodels, and comedians
are are the role models for the masses.
Seems like the fall of the Roman empire.

BILD: How would you rate your film if you were a critic?
Brad Pitt: “Lots of fun! I’m happy with it, because all the actors are great. Each one is a mini star!”
BILD: What does your wife Angelina Jolie think?
Brad Pitt: “She really likes it. She laughed a lot.”
BILD: You play an American soldier who scalps Nazi’s in a hit team and finally kills Hitler.
Brad Pitt: “Yes there’s a lot going on in the movie, we had lots of fun. You have some great actors in Germany.”
BILD: Who is the real Brad Pitt?
Brad Pitt: He is sitting right in front of you. There’s nothing else.
BILD: Are you still a big kid?
Brad Pitt: “No I’m not a kid anymore – I have six children.” Maddox (7), Pax (5), Zahara (4), Shiloh (3), and the twins Vivien & Knox (1).
BILD: Have you found happiness in life?
Brad Pitt (nodding): Hm – yes. I am on the path I want to be on.”
BILD: Do you believe in God?
Brad Pitt (smiling): “No, no, no!”
BILD: Is your soul spiritual?
Brad Pitt: “No, no, no! I’m probably 20 per cent atheist and 80 per cent agnostic. I don’t think anyone really knows. You’ll either find out or not when you get there, until then there’s no point thinking about it.
BILD: Are you scared of ageing?
Brad Pitt (smirking): The grey hairs on his beard glisten: “No I like it. I think it’s good.”
BILD: What is your typical day as a dad?
Brad Pitt: “I get going early, make breakfast, get the kids dressed, brush their teeth and take them to school. Angelina is working at the moment. We take turns.”
BILD: Angelina told me once about your giant bed where all eight of you snuggle up?
Brad Pitt: “Yes we have a 3 metre wide bed, but even that isn’t big enough. They all come crawling in in the morning. It’s just about surviving! We all have sleep deprivation."
BILD: Do you find the time to make love?
Brad Pitt (looks puzzled): What?
BILD: Is it sometimes just the two of you?
Brad Pitt: “Yes we make time for ourselves. It’s very important for every relationship.”

BILD: Is your soul spiritual?
Brad Pitt: “No, no, no!
Ask him that again when he’s lying on his death bed.
Were it not for St. Thomas Aquinas’s proofs, the fact that morons like Brad Pitt are able to become millionaires would cause me to question God’s existence myself.
Be praying for Brad that he does understand there is a God that created him and that loves him and that send His one and only son, Jesus, to die on the cross for his sins.
I hope he comes to that realization before he passes away and stands in front of Almighty God on judgment day.
Really, who cares what some vapid, dipstick “actor” believes?
God is the flying spaghetti monster.
"And Jesus said to him, "Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." - Mark 14:30
There's no point in thinking about it?
How does he not look up at the stars at night and not think about it?!
Has he ever been to a funeral?
Good grief!
Sadly, it's obvious. So many gifts given, so many gone unthanked. So, lift your heads America, those of you who are not as beautiful, not as lucky, but who remain faithful. You're paying ahead for the glorified body and crowns of victory. After that, we'll get to hear how it worked out for Brad.
Brad Pitt grew up in Springfield Mo. He was raised as a conservative and in the Southern Baptist Church. His brother is a minister of the Assemblies of God Church. Not sure what happened. Perhaps he was dropped on his head at some point.
Or maybe he just want to justify his lifestyle....
Or maybe he’s right.
“Or maybe he just want to justify his lifestyle....”
Having six children, the following should be pretty obvious.
1. With that many kids, how could you not at least begin to believe.
2. With that many kids, he ain’t got much of a lifestyle.
There’s still a chance for him though. Being “80% agnostic”, it’s an acknowledgement of the probability God, else he wouldn’t have set agnosticism against non-belief. Sounds to me that he’s undecided, which is not unusual.
Some people just need more time than others. Give him a few more years with that pod of kids and I suspect he’s got a good chance of coming around. Faith is slow to come sometimes.
I have 6 kids and if I didn’t believe in God I would never make it out of bed each morning. I don’t understand how you can see a child born and not believe. I guess when you have that much money life is much easier??
Pitt & Jolie bought their kids, no birthing involved.
i think she squeezed out the batch of twins from her own uterus.
While I think he is definitely not very bright, we all think differently over time. I don’t see the problem with people believing differently as they age.
Dang, I must be behind in my tabloid reading!
