Free video from our friends at WayOfTheMaster.com clearly
outlines how Hollywood hates Christianity... and Christians pay them to do
it!
Did you know that there was a
time when the entertainment industry was bound by a code that forbade them
from using any blasphemy in a movie? The "Hays Code" stated:
Pointed profanity--this includes the words "God," "Lord,"
"Jesus," "Christ" (unless used reverently), "H*ll," "S.O.B.," "d*mn," or
every other profane or vulgar expression, however used--is
forbidden.
Hollywood is no longer restricted by the code.
Many of today's movies don't simply blaspheme the name of Jesus. They go
one further. For example, the award-winning Blow, directed by Ted
Demme, is a typical R-rated film. The name of Jesus Christ is blasphemed
eleven times in the movie. Three of those times, for some reason, the "F"
word is used in the middle of His name.
So, how can you (as one
person), make a difference and influence the powerful Goliath of the
entertainment industry? The answer is in your own hands. In 2005, roughly
$8.8 billion was spent on movie tickets in the U.S. How much of $8.8
billion do you think came from those who call themselves Christians?
According to The Barna Group, it was a massive $6.94 billion. Over 70% of
the box office intake comes from people of faith.
With more than
170 million professing Christians in America, we have a powerful sling
that can hit Hollywood between the eyes and leave a deep impression on its
money-making mind. They are causing an entire generation to hate
Christianity, and to use the name of Jesus Christ to express disgust.
