Christian shaming in Hollywood?
Of all the films in Hollywood, there are some that just aren't as glamorous as mainstream movies such as "Jaws" or "The Avengers". Then there are B-movies, movies that just are able to make it in mainstream Hollywood. THEN there are Christian films. Now, being a Christian I can say this, Christian movies are the worst movies in Hollywood and here is why. The Church tells us that we are the "salt and light" in the world and thus everything we do has to be centered on God. That maybe true yet sometimes it isn't . When it comes to movies, the Church needs to keep their hands out of it. The Church has found a formula that will draw Christian's to the theatre to take there $9.50 without shame. When a new movie comes out, that is all that the Church focuses on. They try to cash in on the profet by making devotionals, t-shirts, posters, and other things they can grab ahold of. BUT WAIT! Isn't the Churches job to not be apart of the world? If so, why are they trying to make a quick buck by using the same formula for each movie? It's because Christians make you feel bad for not seeing these movies. I know plenty of people that act as though you just said you were an atheist when you say you haven't yet seen the film. They try to tell about the movie and harass you until you go see it. This isn't what God called us to do. We shouldn't be putting people down because they do no like the same movies as us. We should be accepting that they do not like the films. The fact that these movies are basically the same movie using a different name/cover doesn't make me what to see it. Personally, I think Christians films are the worst movies in Hollywood. They are too preachy and they make the viewer feel bad if they don't have the same beliefs as them. I don't go to a movie to be told that I am a sinner and that I am doing all the wrong things in the eyes of God if I am not a Christian.
