THE HOLLYWOOD CREED:

Christians are evil.

Women are to be valued only for their cleavage.

The traditional family is archaic, constricting, with no redeeming value.

Parents that try to guide their children's choices are restrictive. Kids need to be "free".

Extreme movie violence and explicit sex for the thrill of it is good because it is profitable.

Sex between a man and a woman is old-fashioned: threesomes, bestiality, necrophilia, homosexuality are news ways to get a thrill.

Hollywood firmly believes that 24/7 of the sexually salacious and violent TV, movies and music we produce are not harming kids and the culture.

OTOH, we also believe----with the religious fervor of Tammy Faye Baker---- that a single 15-sec commercial will compel tens of millions of Americans into thousands of stores to buy billions of dollars worth of soap, soup, breakfast cereal and cars.

To give Hollyweird even the slightest glance or credibility would be like throwing pearls to swine.

Personally, I do not hold their view in high regard. In my opinion, the way Mel Gibson transformed the most important event in Christian history from the Bible to the big screen was nothing short of magnificent. And that, along w/the success of the movie despite the Hollyweird elite snubbing it, should be very satisfying for many.

As American's, we have the freedom to spend our money when and where we like. If some of us choose to boycott Hollyweird, I support that choice. But I don't loose sleep at night fretting over how the industry denies being anti-Christian while at the same time spewing out the filth which they do against us, and whether or not I should do this or that to send a message. Besides, they're not listening anyway.

The Lord is the Lord, and no Hollyweird agenda is going to shake Him. It certainly isn't too much for him to handle, and we should feel reassured in that truth.
