What Does "Anti-Christian" Mean? And Does Bob Wear A Dress?
Some time ago, I wrote something as a rebuttal to the idea that before Walt died, Disney always issued doctrinally sound entertainment.
Now, let's present this list of films to conversative Christian families and see how many of them would attend these movies:
This 1937 film is an occult thriller that includes a reverse "Three's Company" domestic set-up (one woman, many men), as well as a poisoning.
This 1940 film includes an extended sequence entitled "Pleasure Island."
This film, also from 1940, promotes non-Christian religions such as sorcery and the worship of the Greek gods....
You get the picture.
Well, bockman.ca (in a post primarily devoted to the forthcoming Narnia film) links to an article about the possible end of the boycott against Disney. The article includes the following:
Some evangelical critics are not willing to abandon the boycott.
It won't be over "until the Southern Baptists, American Family Association, Concerned Women for America and others actually decide to call it off,'' says Bob Knight of Concerned Women for America.
However, "the departure of the prickly, anti-Christian Michael Eisner, and the advent of the Narnia project might open lines that could lead to a new understanding,'' he says. "Political realities are catching up to Disney, as well, as wiggle room disappears in the culture war.''
First, why is Concerned Women for America represented by someone named "Bob"? Or is this person's name really "Bobbi"? (In a similar vein, some of the people on the National Board of Directors for "Mothers Against Drunk Driving" have names like Michael, Raul, James, Paul, Leonard, and Stephen.)
Second, what does it mean to call Michael Eisner "anti-Christian"? Is that a code word for something else?
