Hollywood versus the Bible:
Also Bush and Israel
The vast majority of celebrities in Hollywood
believe and often promote a belief system and political agenda that is anti-Christian and immoral. It is appalling that when
they speak their mind the gullible masses eagerly listen and approve, hardly questioning the credibility of their statements.
They do this simply because it is a celebrity that made the statement. When we buy or rent movies, we support their immoral
agenda. Some celebs of late have said that they are being blacklisted by producers because of their views on Iraq. Maybe the
producers know that to hire an actor that is going against the majority of movie goers strongly held opinions is bad for business.
This is what we should keep in mind.>? In regards to the indisputable truth, don't support those that oppose what God
says we should stand for.
At the end a list of actors that have actively resisted Bush and the War against Iraq will
be listed. If you do not agree with their tactics or their message then consider this when considering whether to buy or rent
their movies.
Lately Celebrities have been getting more publicly involved in politics. It is a fact that most celebrities
are Democrat as opposed to Republican. So when they rant and rave about how a Republican President is getting it wrong I consider
their previous political view. All this fit throwing lately concerning possible war with Iraq looks like a bunch of sore losing
democrats who didn't get their man into office. I am more in agreement with the Republican agenda than I am the Democratic
side. This is not to say that President Bush has made no mistakes. His worse mistake to date is his support for a Palestinian
State right alongside Israel. This basically boils down to parting the Land that was divinely given to the Jews long ago and
will lead to a Major War. This is a blunder of Biblical Proportions. (Joel 3:2,3).
The land that will be given to
the Palestinians is what God has promised to Israel.
Read: Deuteronomy1:7,8; Joshua 1:4ff; Ezekiel 36:21ff
So
when viewing one political view or the other it should not be a blind group think that diminishes each individuals capacity
and willingness to think and look to God's Word. There is a fine line between honest disagreements with leadership and anarchism.
General Eisenhower said it this way, "We must never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion."
Does Hollywood
have any right to speak with any credibility whatsoever?
Movie Critic Michael Medved speaks of the lack of family
values and decency in movies today. Though I do not agree with everything he says, most of what he says is right on target.
In the end he concludes by stating how we can do something about it, "There's a ready answer to that challenge in George Roche's
homely recollections of his own education in a one-room school house high in the Colorado Rockies where they were short on
money, books and facilities, but long on grit, determination and individual responsibility. What matters ultimately in the
culture wars is what we do in our daily lives-not the big statements that we broadcast to the world at large, but the small
messages we send through our families and our neighbors and our communities. And those small messages, reinforcing each other
from every direction across this country, can become a force powerful enough to change the world. The future of America will
depend not so much on the movers and shakers in the centers of power, but on the hopes that we generate in our own communities,
our schools, our churches, synagogues, and families. What we do there will count for even more, in the long run, than what
celluloid shadows do on screen."

Hollywood and Hollywood Squares:
This is a game show with Celebrities answering questions. The contestants try to win the game in tic tac toe fashion.
Each celebrity is asked a question that he answers. It is up to the contestant to figure out whether the celebrity is telling
the truth by stating whether he or she disagrees or agrees with the celebritys' answer. If the contestant is right he or she
gets an X or an O toward winning Tic Tac Toe. However, celebrities often bluff and pretend they know the answer when often
they do not. The Great Pretenders: Actors and Actresses are pretenders by profession. It is in their very job description
to pretend to know something they don't or be something they are not. Jesus called the Pharisees Pretenders and saved his
harshest condemnation for them.
Actors live in a make believe world and often are out of touch with reality and truth.
However, that does not stop them from often pretending like they are experts about everything, including what they think the
President should do and how we should vote. This is a facade that needs to be seen for what it is. When we take a look at
these rich so-called experts on everything we often find that they cannot even keep their own families together and stay faithful
to their spouses. Are these the ones that should be giving us advice?
Many of them want to tell us how to get along
with people in other countries but the majority cannot get along with their obviously insignificant other. Most celebs get
divorced and it is not uncommon for the average celeb to be married two or more times. Still, it is Hollywood that wants to
make movies about luv. We should tell them to practice what they preach. Often the movies portray Love as some kind of infatuation
or lust. This could be one of the reasons so many of them are getting divorces. When the lust or infatuation leaves they just
move on like moving on to the next shoot.
Many of them play roles that glorify violence and then they object to the
average citizen having a gun or the President going to war against Tyrants like Saddam Hussein.
Many of them are objecting
to war with Iraq but will support the womans right to murder her unborn child. Many of them claim that they are only a reflection
of society. When one looks at how many hours the average family sits in front of the television it becomes clear that they
are more than a reflection of society they are leading society down a slippery road to deprivation and eventually Hell.
But
know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters,
proud, blasphemers...unholy,unloving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good..headstrong, haughty, lovers
of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! (2
Timothy 3)
The Oscars are about gaining the praise of ones peers and receiving a golden figure. How people react when
they get this idol makes one think that they have entered heaven itself. People cry, stutter and shake before this image.
Receiving Oscar seems to make all of their hard work worth it. They sometimes even thank Mothers and Fathers for introducing
them to this world of self centeredness and glamour.
The Movie Chicago wins the Golden Image Award for the most immorally
popular movie of the year. Its theme song, 'All That Jazz' aptly demonstrates the point.
"C'mon babe Why don't we paint
the town? And all that jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees And roll my stockings down And all that jazz
Start the
car I know a whoopee spot Where the gin is cold But the piano's hot ...
Find a flask We're playing fast and loose And
all that jazz
Oh, you're gonna see you sheba Shimmy shake And all that jazz
Oh, she's gonna shimmy till her
garters break And all that jazz
Show her where to park her girdle Oh, her mother's blood'd curdle If she'd hear Her
baby's queer For all that jazz!
C'mon babe Why don't we paint the town? And all that jazz"
MICHAEL MOORE Wins
the Golden Image Award for Stupid Man of the Year:
"Wagging his finger from the stage as he was both applauded and
booed by the assembled celebrities, Moore said, 'We are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you.' ...Moore, who received
a standing ovation from the assembled celebrities, invited the other nominees for best documentary film to join him onstage
in solidarity against the war against Iraq. 'We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in a time where
we have fictitious election results, that elect a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to
war for fictitious reasons,' Moore said."
Could it be that Michael Moore is a sore loser?
"Oscar host Steve
Martin joked after Moore finished speaking that 'the Teamsters are helping Mr. Moore into the trunk of his limo."

ADRIEN BRODY wins the Golden Image award for the best New Age
Statement by saying, "Whether you believe in God or Allah, may He watch over you and let's pray for a peaceful and swift resolution."
He received a standing ovation for saying this.
Many celebrities that have objected to war with Iraq do not offer a
logical alternative to removing an evil and dangerous dictator.
Some of these same people might also think that Hitler
was just misunderstood or had a rough upbringing and talking sense to him might have straightened him out.
Could it
be that Celebrities think too highly of their opinions?
Do Celebrities think that we need their guiding advice in order
to make informed decisions?
Could it really be that most Celebrities need Jesus and really don't know what they are
talking about?
Edward Asner of (Lou Grant) said this, "Theyre sheepthey like him (Bush) enough to credit him with saving
the nation after 9/11."
"And Moses returned unto Jehovah, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have
made them gods of gold." (Exodus 32:31)
Often Hollywood makes statements about the level of intelligence of our leaders.
The following link makes a comparison between President Bush's cabinet and his Hollywood Critics. Here it is:
Who's Smarter?
Suffice it to say there is really no comparison. I am the first
to say that degrees are not a complete indicator. Still, when actors and actresses make unfounded statements about our leaders,
I think it is wise to examine the critics.
Celebrity Critique:
Shirley Maclaine:
I liked watching
her in 'Two Mules for Sister Sarah' However, the ending was quite revealing. She pretended to be a Nun throughout most of
the movie. Toward the end it turned out that she was really a Harlot. This seems quite appropriate for one that promotes an
umbrella belief system that resembles Mystery Babylon, Mother of Harlots mentioned in the Bible (Revelation 17) This religious
system looks more like the Catholic Nun that maintains her Nundom while at the same time playing the Religious Mother Harlot,
overseeing all her other Harlot trainees. Shirley is an outspoken proponent of Eastern Mysticism and Reincarnation. Her message
boards are filled with delusional folks that place great importance on hallucinations and visions. Objectively
establishing the validity of their views and experiences is not even important to most of them. I spent a few months discussing
and debating with them over what these experiences really were. The insults hurled at me daily were unbelievable. To them
all truth is relative except the truths that make it possible for them to survive in the real world. This is hypocrisy at
its height. In other words they will say all truth is relative in the spiritual world but they will cling tenaciously to their
belief that green means go and red means stop and you better not touch or take my things. They were quick to incessantly
claim that the Bible was unreliable and unworthy of their consideration. However, no evidence
was presented. I However, offered them much evidence for the reliability of the Bible.
Ellen Degeneres:
This
is a celebrity that has come out of the bedroom to proclaim from everyones rooftop that she is a lesbian. Initially it appeared
that this hurt her popularity with viewers. However, the powerful ones in the television industry have been making special
efforts to put her in the limelight every chance they get despite her decline in popularity. This is the way I see it. The
ones in power in T.V. land will let the Ellen Degenerates of the world flaunt their perversions until folks with normal affections
get tired and give up altogether. Instead I propose that Bible believing Christians need to lovingly and aggressively proclaim
the truths of the Bible:
1)God Loves us 2)ALL are sinners 3)Homosexuality
is sin 4)We are separated from Christ because of SIN 5)We need a Saviour that died for and because of our sins and
offers deliverance and forgiveness. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)
There is more on Homosexuality following this subject.
The
majority of Celebrities are for the right of the Mother to kill her innocent unborn children for convenience sake and also for a special
protected status for Homosexuals. Of course most of them would not phrase it this way but this is what it boils down to.
The
powerful in the television industry should not dictate to us what to watch and believe. It is time that we took back our God
given right to determine what is good and acceptable. If we don't buy or rent trash the entertainment industry will then have
to offer wholesome and Christ honoring entertainment.
