But Hollywood can depend on a lot of Christians to pay money to see these movies, thus making them possible.
I do not think it is a difficult concept to figure out. They do not want to admit Christianity is right, because then they would have to admit they are responsible to their Creator. They are anyway, they just don't want to admit it.
Wow, that's a simple one. Because their Father, Lord and Master, the Devil hates Christians.
Actually, it is to the credit of Christians that Hollywood considers them the enemy. Similarly, Jews can take pride.
The rats can't stand us. We're doing something right.
So the church decides that if they can impress the world by being more worldly and be better at their game than the world that the world will fall on their face and say: "Yes your God is better than ours, and suddenly want to believe." --but this will never happen.
Instead the world which is ever watching sees the sin, the compromise, the hypocrisy -- Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, and ten thousand other names. Names that run their lives and ministries by the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and a love for the things of the world.
Ministers have succumbed to preaching greed and excess anything goes the world has Rock Idols the Church need Christian rock Idols, the world has Television Idols, the Church need Christian television Idols, the world has Sports Idols By God We are Going to have Christian Sports Idols. The world adores wealth by God we're going to beat them attheir own game and we are going to have Christan millionaires no Christian billionaires,
The world has glitzy shows, and makes great fanfare when they do something we'll, do the same well have carnivals well build our churches like Las Vegas attractions.
See we're Christians wink wink and we can walk into the fire and not even get the smell of smoke on us.
So the world looks on and is having the time of its life watching Christain Idols have sin eruptions, Churches explode, and Ministries implode. It couldn't be better for gather material for a spoof. What Christians never seem to get is that good spoof is based on recognizable incidents or behaviors -- Audiences seldom likes stuff that's made up from whole cloth.
What wrong the Church or the world? In the Old Testament we could quickly find the words to describe the situation -- the Church like Israel of old had played the harlot. The Church has gone awhoring after the Gods of Egypt and Babylon. They have gather to themselves every abomination known to man -- and exactly in kind of the Laodocean Church they say I am rich I am increased with goods. Ponder this there has never been a wealthier, more materialistic, generation than in the US today.
Well boys readem and weep the party's over. Revivals' not coming any more. It's Restoration -- back to the Church of the Christ and Apostles or nothing.
In revelation it speaks of the Great Whore and her daughters and her cup of abominations, and filthiness, that they were all made to drink of.
When you drink of Babylon's cup -- you get the punishments of drinking of that cup with that sip. -- Pretty ugly picture.
There are some very severe things coming down the pike -- and unless believers start going cold turkey with their drug habit of the things of the world -- and seriously getting right with God -- I don't want the say what will happen.
Think about the chill bill in Canada -- it's a warning. How far is Liberalism in the US behind Liberalism in Canada?
You put all your trust in the fact that Bush is a Godly man, well the political situation over here could turn on a dime.
Bush alone can't carry the sins of a nation. He needs Godly people upholding his efforts -- sinful Christians reeking of the leeks and garlic of Egypt and having polluted themselves with the ways of Babylon can't offer prayers for themselves, much less the nation.
You can not take anything of the world and just arbirearily Christianize it. It belongs to the God of this world aka the corrupter. And if you do you put yourself under his rule and it breeds in you corruption.
Need help? I have several free Bible studies I provide Freepers upon request.
Sex, drugs and violence sells.
Hollywood has run down the path of ever more shocking, more in your face, controversial and reality TV. In reality as an art form it has become a slum.

They have trouble getting funding to make these movies.
The last Western Hollywood got excited about was "Unforgiven" in which there were no "good guy" characters.

The concept of right and wrong really scares these propaganda-pushers, doesn't it?
Vampires and Van Helsing both portrayed the Roman Catholic Church as an ancient and mortal enemy of vampires, and the slayers as children of the Church, following the formula set by The Exorcist.
Of course, someone always has to stick in a dig: a cardinal who betrays the slayer, an ecumenical Catholic skunk-works lab pullulating with non-Christians, etc.
But they are shooting themselves in the foot. Advertise the existence of an underworld, like The Omen or the comic book movie Hellboy, or even better The Exorcist again, and you exercise the maxim that demonstrating and even celebrating the existence of the Antagonist is proof of the First Cause.
Holly weird hates christianity because they hate right from wrong because they have been told their particular life is based on doing wrong (drugs homosexuality promiscuity etc.)
You run into this when you attmept to have any meaningful discussion with a leftist. When you cit an example (ie the causes of homosexuality, drugs are harmless) you get some form of "but not my life" (my mother loves me and my father accepts me, drugs have never hurt me).
Hollyweird has to bash christianity because its validation of their own life choices.

Great article. I always like reading Feder's writing.
The libertine revolution in action!
Hollywood hates Christians because they can't stand people full of love. Odd but true.
