Why is there no outrage at the anti-Christian Press?

[christof]

I'm not sure of Matt Drudge's motivations, but on his site most of the articles relating to The Passion of Christ are blantently offensive to a Christian. Andy Rooney is a bigot, in that he mocks the idea that a Christian could speak with God. He and some dude in another article at nydailynews.com imply that Mel only made the movie to make $$$$$, and not out of his strong faith.

The country would call for Rooney's resignation if he said these things of a Muslim.

Why the double standard?

 

[D2bets]

People who really think they are speaking with God often have four padded walls surrounding them. And if you do speak with God, could you possibly set an audiotape nearby so you can share it with the rest of us.

And if Mel made the movie to make $$$$, then he would be in the company of 100% of the other movie producers. Get a grip man, people make movies to make money. There's no negative connotation there.

I probably shouldn't have posted this topic, but it really pisses me off when people with power belittle a religion.

Come on D2bets... most Christians believe that God speaks to them. I'm not saying He comes down and says "Hey Chris, take the Lakers minus the points tonight", but is it hard to understand that these people believe He guides them.

In the article I referred to, Rooney mocks and makes fun of a Christian belief. I'm just saying that there is a double standard, where this would not be ignored if he mocked Jews or Muslims.

Left wing communist media plain and simple.
Anybody that has saw the movie say it is outstanding.

I have also heard that it is a great movie from everyone who has sawed it.

Well, I just read the article. He made fun of Pat Robertson for saying that God told him Bush would win in a blowout. Isn't this basically like your Lakers-points statement? Robertson is a cook. He talked like he has God's private party line or something.

I love this line from Rooney: "My own question to Pat Robertson is this: The election looks as though it could be close, certainly not a blowout. If George W. Bush loses the election to a Democrat, will you become an atheist?" LOLOLOLOL

Do you think that is a 900 number?

If God decides to talk to someone,it won't be to Pat Robertson.Unless its to tell him shut up.

Andy Rooney is a 'person of power'??

If so, his opinions about some Christians are nicely countered by nearly every morning radio show in the country, who have made steady ranting against Islamic people for the past three years a regular topic.

Don't feel isolated when people make jokes about Christianity. Most organized religions are excellent source for humor.

It is my opinion that all religion is superstition and nonsense. And thats 12 years of Catholic school talking.

Do you think that if there was the internet and TV and all of that stuff around 2,000 years ago that people would have believed that someone was "the son of god"?

David Blaine could go out and say that he is "God" and do a few tricks and convince people. His tricks are pretty good.

David Koresh. All of those other dopes that killed themselves in San Diego a few years ago...whats the difference?

All wars are because of religion. everyone hates the infidels and on and on. And everyone still gets all bent out of shape when someone talks about their religion. I find it ridiculous.

mr nj sports....look out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frankly, I'm looking forward to seeing the Passion. I consider myself a recovering Catholic, and could care less if there's a heaven or hell and blah blah blah ... from a stricly historical perspective, however, I'm rather interested.

 

[Mr NJ Sports]

Why should I look out? If there is a God he is so merciful and kind and he loves me. So why would he zap me down with lightning?

 

[barman]

You got that right. God is a merciful and understanding presence. She has no desire to 'punish' her children.

could not agree more. i have been a christian for years and know that God talks to me. does he speak in an audible voice...no, never. he speaks to me in my conscience, in his word, through other people.

and, i definately agree that there is a double standard. no one would dare make light of jewish or islamic beliefs in this way. not sure why this is...maybe because christianity is the religion of the majority and to make fun of the majority is the only thing that is not politically incorrect. i am a white, christian male so, i am quite used to this bias.

regarding the upcoming movie, i do not know mel gibson but i have seen him talk about this movie quite a bit and i sincerely believe that he made this movie because he felt compelled to do so...not for money. he went to the studios to bankroll this production and they would not touch it. so, he spent his own money. now that its clear that this movie will likely be a huge financial success, everyone is saying he did it for the money

by the way, i too think pat robertson should shut up. last fall, the guy "commanded" the hurricane to turn around and go back into the sea in the name of Jesus. it slammed into virginia beach (pat robertson's hometown) hours later. newsflash to pat: (1) you cannot command God to do anything and (2) God never promised you a trouble-free life.

out

Christians are funny. They have the most historically gruesome religion that killed millions in the name of God, yet they believe God is still with them.... thats rich.

 

[blueedwards]

true christianity is not religion. i agree, religion has caused many, many problems in the world. religion is man-made. true christianity is not.

I hope this movie makes 200 million dollars, just to piss people off.
