Leaders of The Parents Television Council today released a study of prime time programming that they say shows that Hollywood "has virtually no respect for religion."Whoa!! News flash there! Never would have figured that out without the help of the PTC.
*wags head in disbelief*
He (Brent Bozell, head of PTC) said Hollywood is missing out on a marketing opportunity by ignoring the majority of Americans who, according to a 2003 Harris poll cited by the study, believe in God (90%) and the resurrection of Jesus Christ (80%).Oh really? So, Hollywood is making billions and billions of dollars each year on the backs of 10 - 20% of the population? Don't think so Brent.
Most "religious" people, aren't (religious). They pay lip service to it in an attempt to ease their guilty consciences. They bear no fruit that demonstrates the least interest or concern for God.
The study, put out in conjunction with the National Religious Broadcasters, counted 2,344 treatments of religion — such as the mention of prayer or the presence of God — from September 2003 to September 2004 and deemed 24.4% of them negative. Most were neutral, and 22.1% were positive.You much be watching different shows than me, because almost every mention of God I see, I consider negative, since they are either anti-God or incorrect in their content, usually coming from a New-Age perspective.
Christians need to just shut up with their whining about Hollywood. Its not going to change. Instead, why don't all you cry-babies provide an alternative? (Heavens no! That would require effort...its so much easier to gripe and wallow in your victimology.) I don't expect anything from Hollywood, so I'm content to just ignore them and turn off their stupid shows.
The world hated Jesus...HE told us they will hate us also. Get used to it.
Its only going to get worse.
