Child actors gone bad, is it lack of christian values?

Post Reply New Topic

My understanding is that Cameron found his faith on his own. I dont know about his family, but it was something that happened part way through his time on growing pains. If I recall the other cast members found him insufferable after that. Fellow cast member Tracy Gold was one of the troubled child actors that this thread pertains to.

Sure, "his" Christian values may have been part of saving him from the spiral that he was going down during his career, but consider many of the other "born agains" in Hollywood who have gone back to their former habits.

Remember when Paris Hilton picked up Jesus after her arrest in 2007? Well, since then, she has been arrested for possession of weed. What about Stephen Baldwin? Of course, his Restore Stephen Baldwin campaign is making him look like a martyr like figure who got persecuted by the liberal Hollywood establishment, when its really just a ploy to get him recognized for his inability to act and help pay off the massive debt he owes. More lying for Jesus!

And look at Kirk Cameron. He spreads anti-scientific information to individuals of all ages hoping to sell his bronze age vision of a God. Though he is a moral person, he is intellectually dishonest.

As to the relevance of Christianity being increased by people such as Kirk Cameron and Stephen Baldwin, I think that they are preaching to the choir. Their right wing beliefs and conservatism are a bit alienating to anyone who doesn't follow the "political Christianity" that they follow. And what about Mel Gibson! Would his Antisemitism and racism even exist if he was a good Christian? If there is anyone who I think would be the poster child for a sane form of Christianity in Hollywood, it would be Denzel Washington.

At the game in south Africa? It was my understanding that she was questioned and released. There is a difference between being arrested and being convicted.

If ever existed a prime example of greasy hollywood actors, Stephen Baldwin is it. He has always looked like a slime ball to me. His got god campaign only reinforces that image.



Quite right.



People like these are great for rationalism. As figures of intolerance and stupidity, their eructations are easy targets for pointing out the irrationalism of religion. The strawmen erect themselves, and follow up the act by hoisting themselves by their own petards.
