Why Hollywood Hates Christians
(Highlights)
Hollywood hates authentic Christians, because Christianity is diametrically opposed to its world view.
Over the past 40 years, Hollywood has been primarily responsible for the rapid degeneration of our culture. Modern cinema is filled with violence, sadism, sex at its most animalistic, crudeness, nihilism and despair. If Hollywood wants to treat Christianity as the antithesis of all it holds dear, Christians should feel complimented.
This is what Hollywood promotes:
1) Sexual Liberation – the glorification of pre-marital sex (including adolescent experimentation), adultery, homosexuality and abortion, and the sexualization of children. This may be contrasted with the Judeo-Christian ethic of sexual restraint/responsibility, and the sanctification of sex within marriage (raising the carnal to a spiritual plane).
2) A Live-for-the-Moment Ethos – the here-and-now is all there is, or (as the beer commercial used to put it) “You only go around once; so grab all the gusto you can.” This is opposed to the Christian emphasis on life eternal. Christians and religious Jews live not for the moment but for eternity. Hollywood’s seize-the-moment ethic must ultimately lead to a total rejection of The Ten Commandments and all biblical morality.
3) The Cult of Self – or — to put it in the lingo of pop psychology — self-actualization, really self-gratification. From this perspective, putting anything ahead of your own happiness is dumb, if not psychotic. Christianity and Judaism both teach that your life isn’t your own. It belongs to the One who gave you life.
4) Gender Sameness – the bizarre and amply refuted doctrine that men and women are psychologically identical, that gender roles are socially imposed, instead of reality-based. This dogma lies at the heart of liberalism’s push to radically remake the family. The worse invective the left can hurl at the family (from its perspective) is “patriarchal” and “male-dominated.”
5) Militant Secularism – the belief that religious expression should be confined to a white clapboard building, and that traditional faith should play no role in shaping our laws and institutions. Thus, someone who speaks of rights being “endowed by their Creator” (like the Founding Fathers) or saying that America is a nation “under God” (like Abraham Lincoln) becomes an enemy of democracy.
What really enrages the Hollywood left is the realization that, more than any other group in our society, evangelical Christians – who now constitute the largest voting bloc — stand in the way of its political agenda: abortion on demand, a contraceptive culture, erotic indoctrination masquerading as sex education, universal day care, the complete societal acceptance of homosexuality and hate-crimes legislation that criminalizes religious speech. By attacking Christians, Hollywood is advancing its agenda.
