Hollywood Worldviews: Sex in the Bible & in the Movies

Posted on by admin

Check out this short YouTube video on Sex in the Bible and in the Movies.

The Bible is not shy when it comes to describing sexuality of all known kinds, marital, adulterous, heterosexual, homosexual, rape, fornication and more. Ezekiel 16 and 23 are R-rated sexually violent symbolic fiction. The Song of Solomon is undeniably erotic literature. Learn the reason why God is not as prudish as some of his believers when it comes to depicting sexuality in the Bible. And learn the difference between exposing evil and exploiting it in storytelling.

Posted on by admin

Check out this short video of Subversion in the Movies.

I’m the guy whose post on the movie Noah went viral, and angered the Hollywood heavyweights and their bullying religious sycophants. Because I uncovered the true subversive meaning of the movie. In this presentation, I explain what subversion is in storytelling, and how it can be used for good or evil. In fact, I show how God uses subversion in his storytelling. And if you get the full version, you will see my explanation of the movie Noah, complete with film clips. Good and bad examples.

This is a shortened version. Get the full version here, complete with lots of film clips.

I taught at one of Summit’s institutes on worldviews. They’re fabulous.

Have you noticed how young Bernie Sanders’s supporters are? These are our future leaders and they don’t know enough about history or economics to know that socialism is a failure.
