"Hollywood hates authentic Christians, because Christianity is diametrically opposed to its worldview--a dogma reflected in the very deep thoughts of Michael Moore, Tim Robbins and Barbra (color me stupid) Streisand," Don Feder writes in a piece called "Why Hollywood Hates Christianity." The jumping off point for the article is the new movie Saved, which follows a long line of blasphemous or Christian-bashing Hollywood productions--Priest, Dogma, The Last Temptation of Christ, Stigmata, etc. Tinseltown wasn't always thus. On the Waterfront, Boys Town, The Bells of St. Mary's, and numerous other mid-century classics featured Catholic priests, for instance, in a positive light. If Hollywood hates Christianity, is it too far of a jump to say Hollywood hates America? After all, more than nine in ten Americans claim a belief in God, about two-thirds claim membership in a church, mosque, or synagogue, and 87% support retaining the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. If you hate Christianity, it's hard to love America.

I was thinking of having a Scientology weekend this coming long weekend? If you would like to attend that would be great. I had trouble coming up with a theme so i settled on a Top Gun revisited day. Bring your dress whites and make sure that Iceman and Slider make it to this one. Those two always try to put the slip on my big weekend fiestas! P.S definately looking for a new wing man if you know what i mean?

Another movie that I think portrayed priests in a positive light was, ironically enough, The Exorcist. A Catholic priest is essentially the hero of the film, as he gives his life at the end to save the possessed girl.
