Should we care that they still don't get it?

For years now we Christians who are tired of seeing Sharon Stone's wrinkled behind and some mass murdering retard cutting people up when we go to the movies have been saying loud and clear, "We want something different". We all cheered when Mel Gibson made "The Passion" and further still about the Narnia movie recently. Hollywood now, I am convinced, sees the market. The question is not that though, it is really whether they despise Christianity, Christian values, and any morality in general that doesn't conform to their warped idea of right and wrong enough not to grab a hold of a fist full of that "Holy" dough. The Passion grossed over $350,000,000, Narnia was in that ball park as well... So why has Hollywood not absolutely jumped on that bandwagon with a banjo and a big hat? The answer to both of the above questions is yes they do hate us that much and that is why they are hesitating. The Passion was more than a multi-million dollar gross, that movie was a ministry for adults the world over, as much as Narnia is for kids. The hard truth I'm afraid is that we have found something that is more important to Hollywood at large than money and that is, indoctrinating America into the liberal, "everything is ok as long as it feels good to you" mentality. Moral relativity boys and girls, at its finest. If they did suddenly start making great faith centric films it would be like saying "this is ok with us", "this is ok to believe" and if you know liberals like I do, tolerance is fine and good until you mention the word "God" or "Christian", or "Morality". You see, because if they gave in and admitted that these movies actually had a positive effect on society, they would have to then consider why they did, and that road only leads one place, to Christ and His teaching. To One true God and His love, and that just wouldn't do at all, no matter the price. Pretty soon they would have to start admitting that monogamy, abstinence, prayer and other yukky words like that actually leave their own relative moral failings groping patheticaly for any kind of foundation at all in reality. I read an article today that prompted me to write this post and I linked to it below. They get it half right, but they are either still in denial to a large extent or they still just don't get it!!


Jude 1:3-4
3
Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. 4For certain men whose condemnation was written about[a] long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.


What would Jesus direct?
