Charles Schultz was a secular humanist lib. I refuse to take my kids to this subversive filth, and I feel bad for people who keep falling for ‘cute’ Hollywood.
Bttt
You are out of you mind n00b.
Secular humanist??
This is a short documentary about the making of the Peanuts Christmas special. The part where they talk about reading from the bible on TV was shocking to me. They thought that it might be disrespectful to read from the bible in a cartoon on tv! How far we have fallen....

The last one that had been mainstream and copies of which survive in syndication, or something like that.
Schulz worshiped as a Catholic, yet his Christian messages were nonsectarian.
Maybe it is to bend a metaphor, but may the good Lord grant that from small peanuts may large plants grow again.
Peanuts did portray sins of arrogant pride, almost always it was Lucy. And the victim of those was Charlie Brown.

Schulz’s cartoon did pretty good given the pressures of the mainstream where he was trying to publish. Sometimes there really IS a “blame the victim” mentality, pace liberal haters.
Even in my life, the idea of seeing a scripture reading (he used the KJV, not a Catholic version, in his cartoons) in a non-churchy setting was one of a “cloud of witnesses” with which the Lord approached my proudly unbelieving heart, the idea that it might be more than a pretentious put-on after all. We could wish every “secular humanist” did this well in the world.
Schulz may have become disheartened with today’s state of organized religion, and did not attend church services regularly. He called himself a “secular humanist” — and yet the quote is highly bereft of context. It could have easily been irony, as a statement about something he believed in (the commandment to love neighbor as self) that wasn’t typically “churchy.”
Some people will knee jerk at certain buzz words of terminology and say “aha.” But if they don’t look at the largest picture possible, they may miss the character of what they refer to. Perhaps Schulz was a weak believer. But that would lend more significance to the approval of his cartoon bible verses. That would have been a God move, not a move of personal force of will. If God accompanies what someone does, there is some reason for it.
Before he died, Schultz gave thumbs up to his family for any future Peanuts movies and advertising, but nixed another artist continuing the strip. This was because he never actually did the animation drawing, so he never felt that attached to it.
That’s not just a n00b, but a troll.
I figured as much....not a very bright one to boot!
We just took our 2+ yo granddaughter to this entertaining movie. Charles Schulz would have very much approved. Our granddaughter was delighted and watched in spellbound silence occasionally giggling. My fun was in watching her enjoy the movie.
They won’t rest until they have corrupted everything that was ever right and good in America.
He was great at “compromise” and then ended up a humanist.
Sounds wishy-washy to the core to me and watching the cartoons I remember the message being that of surrender and being a pushover.

Lol
Always wanted CB to grow a pair, punch a few kids in the face and kick Lucy through the goalposts!

I’ve always felt the same way! And I live in Charles Schulz’s home town. It’s sacrilege or something to feel that way here! LOL! Now my kids want me to take them to this movie. I’d rather pull out my eyeteeth with pliers. I tried to talk my husband into taking them but he just laughed at me. I usually enjoy kids’ movies but I’m dreading this. Maybe I can bring a book with me.
Caustic line, that.
