Frozen lambasted as pro-gay propaganda by Christian pastor

Ahh and the predictable insult.

[Eurotwit]

Yeah, I did not want to go “there”, but it does sometimes seem to be the case.

Afterall, it seems pretty clear that in the little mermaid case, there simply isn’t anything there. And, the cover art was not even made by Disney, but by a Christian artist working late at night. Did he have some subconscious thing come out in that drawing.

God knows.

[Eurotwit]

I also want to add, that when I did look at a really zoomed in high resolution version of that drawing, and was looking for similarities, it did seem a tad peculiar.

Cheers.

[driftdiver]

It’s Disney’s product. But I’m done with you and your crappy insults.

[HiTech RedNeck]

It doesn’t take much chicanery to get a company to spend billions on utter nonsense. Globull warming anybody?

[driftdiver]

They spend billions adding sex to their product advertising.

Because it sells.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Because people chicanery them into thinking it’s any different than what can be seen for free on a subway.

[driftdiver]

So they don’t spend that money?

[HiTech RedNeck]

They spend it mostly on unscientific, fashionable hokum. That’s my surmise based on the other idiocies that are rife in corporate America.

[driftdiver]

So you’re just arguing for no good reason?

[HiTech RedNeck]

I’m saying they might stick stuff in there even meaning to do something. And that it probably doesn’t actually do squat.

[CommerceComet]

I wonder if this is even a genuine, if misguided, Christian preacher. Could it be a false flag?

Kevin Swanson is an ordained pastor in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. You can hear his radio show on the Sermon Audio website. I can assure you that Kevin Swanson is well-known in home school circles and in the family-integrated worship movement. He frequently shared a stage with Doug Phillips of Vision Forum before Doug Phillips' resignation.

Even when I agree with Kevin Swanson, his over-the-top dogmatic style is hard to take. I haven't seen Frozen but it wouldn't surprise me if Kevin Swanson's criticism is misguided.

[papertyger]

No I wouldn’t have, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t register on your subconscious.

I've yet to see any hard data on this "subliminal suggestion" trick having any greater impact than a statistical blip in the sales of coke and popcorn in the movie theater.

It ain't like single frame ads have people spending the kids college fund to buy Audis.

I guarantee you suggesting it has a nefarious impact breeds more "chicken little" contempt for social conservatives than it breeds homosexuals.

[driftdiver]

Why are you so interested in breeding homosexuals?

Is there something wrong with objecting to sexual imagery being placed in products intended for children?

Perhaps you like that connection being made?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well I do know this... fling around hell fire and even if you are a million light years off base to the scripture, people will watch you in riveted fascination.

It really infantilizes the concept of ministry. IMHO. It also tends to get my goat and maybe I shouldn’t let it. But hell fire is at best a kick start for the stubborn. It isn’t what makes a life of faith carry on.

[papertyger]

Perhaps you’re a troll trying to propagate the “subliminal suggestion” nonsense I wrote of to make real conservatives look bad?

[HiTech RedNeck]

oh, con-troll thyselves.

[papertyger]

oh, con-troll thyselves.

Are you kidding?

With a Quix-like insinuation like that?

I'm ready to party with this jackass.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Quiker than Quix.

[papertyger]

But every bit as duplicitous.
