Y'really sure AYN RAND is who you want to quote from in order to critique AGAINST atheism?

I totally agree with the premise of your article, Caucasian Christians are treated so very badly by the powers that be in Hollywood. My only complaint is that the way your article is written people are assuming that James Spader, the real person not the analogy, actually said these things about Miley and the others. Mr. Spader is an EXTREMELY private individual and I highly doubt would ever say anything remotely like this in public even if these would happen to be his private views. I have never read any interview of Mr. Spader where he has ever said an unkind word about anyone and I have read a lot of interviews.

"Miley’s a target-rich environment for celebrity enforcers because she’s openly opposed to the spread of Gomorrah and therefore a threat who must be marginalized through ridicule at every opportunity."

This would be a better argument if there were compelling reasons NOT to marginalize and ridicule Miley Cyrus (or the Jonas brats for that matter.) She's the worst kind of manufactured pop drivel, and it's not like we're low on our supply of marginally-talented teeny-bopper signers. That her "brand" is the sort of fluff that the "conservative" film movement wants to throw it's weight behind doesn't speak very highly of said movement.

"Why would any of us who make films want to join their little boring hateful collective."

Better drugs, better girls, easier access to both. I need MORE reason than that?

I have noticed a war brewing between what I call the Disney Music crowd and the MTV crowd. The VJ's have been routinely mocking and panning artists from Disney. I think this is because Disney is stepping into the market of young teenagers that MTV and the POPHOP crowd have determined to be their own.

It is ironic that what led to this was probably the fact that in order to stay edgy they had to have Marylon Manson were mascara, worship Satan and explain he was not gay when he had sex with men because he was being paid. They made the product so crass and blue that parent's blocked their channel and Disney saw a market opportunity. I think this E story is just another example fo the war.

As an aside it should be pointed out that Catholics are not supposed to believe that atheists are going to hell. For a Catholic Hell is not a place but a state of Grace. Hell is simply dieing without God's Grace and nothing more. Since there is no material items in the spirit this emptiness is supposed to be worse than any torture that could be experiened in the world. The idea is that when someone dies the actions of their life and the failure to seek forgiveness amount to the individual refusing God within then. Thus going to Hell is a conscisous decision. IF a person is truely an atheist but attempted to live a good life then they are not rejecting God so at the time of their death god would reveal themselves to them. This is known as Baptism of Desire. Course an athesit thinks it nonsense but its interesting to point out.

Call it the Tyler Perry syndrome; if you are black or hispanic, then your "spirituality" is non-threatening because you are taken seriously intellectually anyway. But if you are white, then what you believe is VERY important to the order of the universe. Any white who does not embrace secular humanism is threat to the species.

It is simply the dressing up of a very old stereotype about how blacks are simple-minded.

It is a shame that the powers that be in the propaganda arm of Hollywood cannot be like the two atheists in the post above this one, StlDan and The Great Experiment. Bravo gentlemen from a Pentacostal Christian.
