it wouldn't be hollywood if they did that.
That's a good point, but it would be good storytelling. Remember how West Wing did that? Presented both sides of a story and it was so successful!
Really. Ugh! Alexis is so dingy! I cringe every time she opens her mouth. :)
never watched it
I figure if you don't like the way they portray Christians then you shouldn't watch the show. Watch the news instead. Every time a disaster strikes, while Hollywood is busy buying expensive dresses they can wear to a benefit concert, the Christians are already on the ground helping to clean up the mess. Our job is to be the best Christians we can be, not to worry about how Hollywood portrays us.
Timothy, nice theory, but the fact is, we live in the world and I have no intention of sticking my head in the sand about what's going on around me. Those who want to do that, more power to them, but I choose to have water cooler conversations with people around me.
Kristin,
I have watercooler discussions with an Indian, but that doesn't mean I have to worship his gods.
Kristin, I'm in DFW and sadly GBC is a little true in an exaggerated way here. It's based on an area of Dallas called Highland Park and a lot of people are like that. I have a friend who moved here before I did and she told me "everyone says they are Christian, hardly anyone lives it"
Way to speak out against the offensive, Kris. Our country has a nasty attitude toward Christian business people because there truly are bad buys claiming the cross so they can get business from us naive Christians who buy into their lies. I'm hoping the more true Christians are bashed on television shows, the fewer Christians will tune in and the shows will drop in ratings.
Good for you Timothy. Read up on TMZ and how the thirty mile zone affects the world. The reason Christians should care is because those people have influence. If we want it, we need to be there.
Other countries don't have this animosity towards Christians, but Christians in other countries aren't so separated either.
We're the one group that everyone can still pick on, make fun of and get away with it. It's not politically correct to make fun of any other group, people are shot down faster than they can spit. Take the Rush Limbaugh fiasco, if he'd insulted her for being a Christian no one would've ever given it a second thought. Course, we should expect it, Jesus said we'd get it. Doesn't make it right though.
I totally agree. I have not watched GCB the commercial was enough and then i read what the B really stands for! There are a lot of lost and mis-informed people in our world.
Kristin,
Thanks. It's embarrassing to admit how long I’ve been trying to think what TMZ stood for. I thought it was just a TV show that talks about stupid stuff.
Interesting viewpoint. Yes it's tragic and wrong. I don't think that it's an inability to find real Christians, I think it simply doesn't promote their agenda. Yes, it's frustrating, but if we want to change things, I think it needs to be at the level we are each at, radically influencing those around us so they see the discrepancy and demand changes in media. I'm talking to myself especially. I'll take a mini-bow and get off my soap box.
