I’m very please to be able to say quite truthfully, that I have no idea who any of those people are, except Mel Gibson, Denzel Washington and Martin Sheen. Mind you, I haven’t been to the cinema since 1988.
For the record, Beliefnet.com is not a Christian web site. It is a spiritual web site that includes all religions.
Those are the ones I can picture. I've at least heard of some of the others.
Interesting.
Just reading up on some things, I ran across this...
"McCarthy is often incorrectly described as part of the House Committee on Un-American Activities (technically, HCUA, but generally known as HUAC). HUAC is best known for the investigation of Alger Hiss, and for its investigation of the Hollywood film industry, which led to the blacklisting of hundreds of actors,writers and directors. HUAC was established in May 1938 as the "Dies Committee" before McCarthy was elected to the Federal office, and, being a House committee, had no connection with McCarthy, who served in the Senate."
If they back the part of baby killers... they were NEVER Christians to begin with.

Yes, now that I've looked, I see it is rather eclectic.
I graduated from Pepperdine University in 1983. While there, I attended the Catholic Church, Our Lady of Malibu. While, I vehemently disagree with Martin Sheen’s politics, he was a regualar there and seemed sincere and dedicated to his faith. What happened to his son, I have no idea....
Samuel Dickstein helped create and served on the Dies Committee.
"In the 1990s scholars discovered documents in the Moscow archives showing Dickstein was paid $1250 a month from 1937 to early 1940 by the NKVD, the Soviet spy agency, which hoped to get secret Congressional information of anti-Communist and pro-fascist forces. When Dickstein left the Committee the Soviets dropped him from the payroll.[1]"
I'm sorry but that's funny.
Fake list.
This is just to bash christians.
Left wing lunatics and abortion advocates?
Must be Sheppard Smiths staffers.
I know the Anschutz family and they are good Christians. They are very wealthy but they live a “regular” life. They have their priorities right.
The Christians are controlling Hollywood.
rotflmaopimp
contrast this with the new Vanity Fair
Philip Anschutz
I always thought he was Jewish ..did he convert?
Denver Oilman originally right?
some of these are misguided good works apostates
“He tops the list cuz there are only ten Christians in Hollywood!”
Ding! Ding! Ding! No more calls folks. We have a winner!
Namely, Christianophobia resulting in the blackballing of Christians, which is equally as wrong.
So they clammed up?
Interesting.
