Tonight is oscar night.
So the million dollar question is Clint Eastwood going to get Oscar for Best Director?
This will be revealed in a few hours.
But Million Dollar Baby is a Hollywood flick that is anti-Christian. Eastwood -- not as director -- but as star, kills his lover in this film.
How can Eastwood be a good guy and kill his lover? The plot is basically that he is a love with a brain injured woman [before the injury]. He feels the need to take her life. [Please note I have not seen the movie -- but that was the summary given].
He is also portrayed as a Catholic who goes to Mass everyday -- supposedly a good Christian.
But direct killing of a loved one is never a Christian thing to do -- killing someone who is attacking your family or defending people is Christian.
Given that about Million Dollar Baby winning an Oscar [or more than one], then how does Terri Schiavo fit in?
The media may play up Million Dollar Baby as a way to justify Michael Schiavo killing his wife -- to clear the way for his lover, and getting all of the money from judgements in the Terri Schiavo case.
So is Clint Eastwood winning an Oscar a good time or a bad thing for the Terri Schiavo situation.
In terms of the MSM, it is my belief that they will try to justify imposing the death sentence on Terri.
But Christian preachers, from the pulpit, can use both stories to teach their flocks -- teach them that killing Terri Schiavo is wrong and teach them that what Hollywood put in a motion picture is not a good example for living our livings.
The Christian preachers must get in the pulpit and clear the air -- tell people that the plot of Million Dollar Baby is all wrong.
God bless and hopefully Chris Rock will not profane the American airways -- too much!
"Given that about Million Dollar Baby winning an Oscar [or more than one], then how does Terri Schiavo fit in?"
I think it fits in because Million Dollar Baby is about euthanasia and the screen play is by a Scientologist (Paul Haggis).
Scientology is for euthanasia and many Scientologists hold high positions of power in Florida. That is the reason so many laws have been broken in the Terri Schiavo case and nobody has done one thing about it.
