From CP ENTERTAINMENT:
Author and outspoken pastor Mark Driscoll says he wants to make it clear that movies such as "Twilight," which opened this weekend, are something Christians should not treat as harmless entertainment and, in fact, have inspired some real-life demonic trends.
Subtitled in his blog, "A Father's Fright of Twilight," Driscoll states, "Twilight is for teenage girls what porn is to teenage boys: sick, twisted, evil, dangerous, deceptive, and popular."
"sick, twisted, evil, dangerous, deceptive, and popular" - Really, Mark, surely this is a prime example of the pot calling the kettle black. One thing is for certain, if I was the father of a teenage girl I would much rather she went to see a "Twilight" film than go any where near your brainwashing, life-denying organisation. Heck, if I was the father of a teenage boy I'd buy him an annual subscription to the porn site of his choice if he promised never to get involved in your nasty form of Christianity (if you can even call it that).
Hey! Seattle gave you Starbucks and Mark Driscoll! Seattle giveth, and Seattle taketh away.
ReplyDeleteBesides, the surest way to get a teenager to do something is to tell her not to do it.
ReplyDeleteNo, Alison. I tried that one on teenage girls when I was a spotty, sixteen year old lad, and I can tell you it doesn't work in all instances. They are cleverer than they look.
DeleteI prefer to think of Seattle as the home town of "Fraser," Northern Exposure" and KJ.
ReplyDeleteThat too!
DeleteI guess I've been living under a rock because I had never heard of this guy. So I googled him and now I know he's kind of a whackjob.

ReplyDeleteStarbucks is right there with Wal Mart in underpaying staff. So, there is not much coming from Starbucks that is good.
ReplyDeleteCertainly this asshat is evil.
FWIW

Someone in my building keeps accosting me in the lift about Mark Driscoll and how I should listen to him on my iPod.
ReplyDeleteNow to me that's, "sick, twisted, evil, dangerous, deceptive, and... insane"
Bravo, MP.
