The Noah film is afloat with extremism
Herald Sun ^ | Monday, March 31, 2014 | Andrew Bolt

AMAZING. Hollywood just killed God, and almost no critic noticed how it quietly slipped a green human-hater in his place.

I never thought you could make a two-hour film about Noah and his ark without mentioning “God” even once, but director Darren Aronofsky has managed it in his $142 million epic, which opened last week.

His Noah, played by a muttering Russell Crowe, prays to a different deity, a much nastier one called “the creator” who seems to brood on global warming.

Hey, what a coincidence! So does Aronofsky, who last year declared, “climate change as an enemy of the people”. So does Crowe, tweeting in most unbiblical language: “F--- denial of climate change.”

And in their film, Noah, they give us their creator, a vegetarian who really does want to “f--- denial of climate change” and put filthy humans in their place so, as Crowe’s Noah rasps, “creation will be left alone — safe. Beautiful”.

As an agnostic, I should barely care which invisible being Crowe talks to, but this switcheroo is freaky.

I’d agree this is overlooking the larger green and irreverent message by parties (still a distinct minority) who aren’t looking for the morals to the story. If anything should have morals, the bible should, and any faithful parallel will attempt to have the same morals.

That’s why I said a few weeks. Not everybody is on top of this puppy yet.

If there is ONE Freeper who supports a ‘green’ agenda, supports an enviro-whacko propaganda piece - and wants OTHER FREEPERS to spend their money to continue supporting that particular propaganda piece — that’s ONE TOO MANY.

That’s because if Freepers trust other Freepers to be telling the truth about these matters - then they’ll conclude that they should spend their money, too. That turns one - into many.

Oh, who told you to dictate everybody’s spiritual path?

That is where YOU go off the rails. You don’t even own this place; Jim Rob does.

He can speak, and he does in many other formats ... but he’s not speaking in that liberal, ‘green’ enviro-whacko propaganda piece.

It’s the same thing when a heretical group teaches a “different Jesus” (for a different example). You may hear the “name” Jesus, but if you listen to a different Jesus ... you’ve got nothing.

I don’t send money to that HERETICAL GROUP because I believe that “God can work in all circumstances”. No, I warn people against that group and against giving that group any money.

Where I do give my money - instead - is the group that tells about the true Jesus and not the Heretical Group.

In a similar vein ... It’s like saying with this movie that “since God can work anywhere and with anything” — I’m going to give my money to this totally unbiblical and recognizable account of a psycho-maniac Noah to help further the Gospel ... LOL ...

God speaks in His Word, which is exactly where you’ll find it — and as it should be related.

You don’t have God’s Word given by an atheist, liberal, leftist, ‘green’, global warming and enviro-whacko director in PROPAGANDA HIT PIECE - who has said that he set out to create the LEAST BIBLICAL of all ‘biblical movies’ EVER CREATED ... :-) ...

Free speech happens to be what we’re exercising here to WARN EVERYONE to NOT SUPPORT this agenda in this movie with their money.

I understand that but you failed to the highest degree in history. You could not have tried harder to FAIL....this failure of an experiment needs to be retired forever. We cannot make conservatives look this idiotic ever again.

Conservatives don’t support PROPAGANDA PIECES with their money given to it - in order to promote liberal, leftist, ‘green’, global warming and enviro-whacko AGENDAS!

AND ... those same conservatives use their Constitutionally-protected free speech in order to warn others about that agenda and for people to not support it with their money.

It cannot be much more clear or basic than that.

Yes they do. They did all weekend long. You are so blinded by this. Just admit that you screwed up and go on with life.

As I said earlier, there are those who were SNOOKERED (look up above) and were LIED TO very purposefully before the movie was released - not letting them know that this was a PROPAGANDA PIECE created by an atheist, liberal, leftist, ‘green’, global warming and enviro-whacko Director pushing his agenda in this movie.

Being lied to and tricked does not mean that they supported this agenda which goes against their principals. That was before the word got out.

NOW the word is out and we know what a PROPAGANDA HIT PIECE it is and now we can clearly warn conservatives to stay away from it. At this point in time - as we speak today — anyone who would pay money to support this liberal, leftist, ‘green’, global warming and enviro-whacko agenda that is in this movie — is basically not a conservative.

AND ... I’ll continue warning about this movie as long as it’s in the theaters.

That is fine. However, the “truth” of the movie by conservatives were going on WAY before the movie was released. In fact, this is the most talked about movie since probably “Brokeback Mountain” over a decade ago. For some reason, this movie just hit conservatives. The other movies that conservatives begged people to attend was “American Carol”...Good God.

Before the movie was released, no one could say authoritatively that it was “not” what the studio said (and lied about) — which was that it was faithful to the Bible. We now know that was clearly a lie and now we can say that “authoritatively”

Secondly, people really didn’t know that this was going to be about an enviro-whacko agenda inside the movie itself. Now that can be authoritatively reported.

SO ... before there was speculation and there were “assurances” — but now we’ve got the VERY CLEAR PICTURE that this is a liberal, leftist, ‘green’, global warming and enviro-whacko PROPAGANDA HIT PIECE.

Now no conservative’s money should be funding this agenda in this movie.

I always wondered as a kid how Adam and Eve with two sons begat the entire human race.

The Bible says that Adam also had other sons and daughters. Genesis 5:4. That leads to another question, though...

AND ... I could get some more comments that go on like this and Freepers recommending it, even though they’ve clearly been shown it’s a PROPAGANDA PIECE. These were the easiest to grab.

...can I ask an obvious question...why are you so obsessed with what people think about a movie...?

You asked why I posted it. I said it was in answer to a question.

I have read almost every thread on the ‘noah’ film, and have yet to see any Freeper supporting it or recommending anyone else see it. Sure, there may have been a few ‘uninformed’ the first few days, but that got over quickly as word spread.


Look at the posting history of one “NKP_Vet” and you’ll see a Freeper supporting the movie.

Noah is an family drama/adventure film BASED on the story in the Bible. Even the director said it was not meant to be taken literally.....so why in the hell do you. If you want to read the story of Noah, and what really happened according to scripture, try reading the Bible. And don’t bother me anymore with your incessant rambling on about a Hollywood movie.
