As 2021 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on our most popular stories of the year. The following article was one of our most read this year. Come back to movieguide.org in 2022 for more inspirational content!
Actress and former AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL winner Adrienne Curry recently apologized to Kirk Cameron for hating him due to his Christianity and belief in God.
“I sneered at the mention of his name because my agnostic beliefs set me above all others in my infinite godless greatness,” Curry confessed on her Facebook. “When I really ask myself why I did so, my only truthful answer is that I was surrounded by godless people who fancied themselves better than anyone and everyone who had faith in anything besides their own selfish selves.”
Curry added that those around her told her “that anyone who was anything besides Muslim, atheist, agnostic, gay, etc., was very bad and stupid.”
However, after watching an interview with Cameron, Curry’s long-held assumptions about the GROWING PAINS star changed.
“Recently, I watched an interview with the guy. He came off as very humble and incredibly likable. I watched a few more. Loyal to his wife, a family man, a former atheist who found some meaning in life. He just comes off as a good dude,” Curry said, adding: “Sorry, dude, I walked with the flock of sheep who told me what to hate and what to like without question.”
Although Curry admitted she did not expect a response from Cameron, Cameron said a friend had informed him of her apology.
“After losing my faith in atheism at 18 I asked the maker of all the beautiful and purposeful things I saw in the world (stars, galaxies, sunrises, purple hydrangeas, children, laughter, deep grief, good food, love, loyalty, courage, honor…) to help me understand the truth about it all,” he responded. “And I started to say, ‘Thank you.’”
“I too, as a young man on top of all the Teen-Beat world in Hollywood, thought I was bigger and better than a made-up god-crutch,” he continued. “But I too was just following the herd of sheep, running with those who wanted to see themselves as too smart to believe or trust in God. I kept denying God’s existence But then, thankfully, I ran out of excuses. I didn’t find God in Babylon; He wasn’t lost. I was lost, and He found me. Blessing to you on your journey.”
Curry expressed her thankfulness for Cameron’s response.
“Thanks for being so gracious to someone admitting they misjudged you,” she wrote. “You haven’t walked an easy path in tinsel town and for that… I salute you.”
Well, there is some good out there.
Can’t thank you enough for finding and posting this.
One of these things is not like the others. I assume the young person and her milieu understand "Muslim" to be a race, rather than a religion.
Don't know if he's still at it, but for years Ray Comfort witnessed every Saturday at the Huntington Beach pier: there are dozens of YouTube videos, there and at Cal State Fullerton. Fascinating dialogues....Ray is incisive and persistent.
I gave him a chuckle one day at a lunch eatery in Cerritos. My Bible was on the table while I was at the counter picking up my order; meanwhile, unbeknownst to me, Ray was walking around leaving his $1million tracts at every table. I returned to my place, spotted the tract atop my Bible and looked around--and there was Ray looking back from the door, laughing.
Oh yeah, wasn’t she married to “Peter Brady” Christopher Knight?
Whoever it is doesn’t seem to understand that Muslims are commanded to kill all those others.
And my purpose in posting was as a testimony to the intolerance of the Left, "that I was surrounded by godless people who fancied themselves better than anyone and everyone who had faith in anything besides their own selfish selves” “that anyone who was anything besides Muslim, atheist, agnostic, gay, etc., was very bad and stupid.”
As for your porn pic, who knows what that was taken, but there is always someone in the crowd who has to post such. In Hollywood profanity, vulgarity and sensuality, are obligatory as part of the Hell-inspired minds you produce such unholy filth.
Oh that is wonderful! Can’t wait for it to come out. Love the Left Behind series. Have seen all the movies and read the books.
The epitome of tyranny is denial of freedom of conscience, and it is down the slippery slope to tyranny that so called “hate” crimes, identity politics and the “cancel culture” are but tools of. Having true faith in G-d cannot flourish in a culture of “official” right and wrong views on anything that must be left to the individual’s own conscience. Kirk was derided because he went against the grain of the “approved” culture in the U.S.
Good point.
“Whoever it is doesn’t seem to understand that Muslims are commanded to kill all those others.”
They understand. They don’t care.
Communists will use anyone and anything to win their revolutions. They then kill off these people once they’ve served their purpose. If you cross their path when they’re trying to acquire power, they do everything they can to unperson you. Unless you’re part of their plan, you are nothing but a tool or annoyance to these scumbags.
Remember, their motto is “by any means necessary”. They will lie, steal, cheat, and kill to get what they want. Anyone not elite is nothing more than a disposable instrument to these disgusting people.
Ray is incredible! He dies such a great job of humbly engaging with lost people,gently asking questions to help them challenge themselves and really think about what they say they believe. Many end up coming to faith in Christ.
It is the same for Muslims. The Muslims in Iran used the Iranian Communists to win power. Then the Iranian Muslims killed the Iranian Communists.
Neither is “gay”.
The commonality is they are all aggrieved preferred groups in the US.
Islam is the only acceptable religion, since they were so oppressed after 9/11.
Good apology.
Good response.
Note that response to Islamic extremists - which constitute untold thousand, even countries, and the response to a relative few violent Jan. 6 White House gate stormers (which was wrong and counterproductive). If they had been Muslim the ACLU and liberal media would be asking "why do they hate us" and demanding a quick and fair trial. Of course, after a federal judge recently held top jail officials in contempt after they delayed prompt medical care for a Capitol defendant in their custody, the NYT find a way to turn this into a racial issue: At a hearing this week, officials said longstanding issues at the jail, where most inmates are Black, did not get much attention until the largely white rioters were held there.
Kirk was our guest speaker at our grandkids Christian school fundraiser this year. My son picked him up at the airport and chaperoned him for the evening and took him back to the airport the next morning. He said he was a down to earth humble man. We talked with him and got pictures taken with him…he is a kind and humble man.
“that anyone who was anything besides Muslim, atheist, agnostic, gay, etc., was very bad and stupid.”
Very interesting prejudices there, eh?
Communists use whatever religious (anti-Christian, anti-Catholic) hatred they can get, don’t they? And the uber-pro-leftist, pro-socialist secular Jewish liberal community falls right into that, as a rule.
You sound like a Muslim…
