Kirk Cameron Will Go Biblical King James on Your Arse [Celebrity Kids Gone Creepy]

Kirk Cameron Dream Guy Mike Seaver11 Kirk Cameron Will Go Biblical King James on Your Arse [Celebrity Kids Gone Creepy]Kirk Cameron used to be really effing cool and I lusted after him for a bit when he starred as Mike Seaver on Growing Pains. My crush didn’t last long, however, as I was really a Boner girl. What can I say? I’ve always loved the geeks. But what in Hades happened to Kirk? He went all weird and rigidly Christian and all of a sudden the show kind of sucked in that it didn’t address real teen/family issues anymore.

But let’s begin with history before we get to the crazy. Kirk Cameron began acting at age nine, his first job an advertisement for a breakfast cereal. He nabbed his first starring role at age 10, in the television series Two Marriages. At this age, he appeared in several television shows and films. He became famous in 1985 after being cast as Michael Seaver in the ABC television sitcom Growing Pains. Cameron subsequently became a teen heartthrob in the late 1980s, while appearing on the covers of several teen magazines, including Tiger BeatTeen Beat16 and others. At the time, he was pulling in $50 large.

In the series, Mike Seaver is a girl crazy teenage boy with a raging boner and many girlfriends. His two best friends, Richard Milhous “Boner” Stabone (played by Josh Andrew Koenig, who committed suicide January 2010 at the age of 41) and Eddie (KC Martel) always at his side, got into the usual teenage shenanigans and Mike always got the girl. Seaver’s last girlfriend was Kate MacDonald, who was played by Chelsea Noble, Cameron’s future wife. Kirk was in a few movies after the show ended.

During the most of the show, though, Kirk Cameron was an atheist, but around age 17 or 18, during the height of his career on Growing Pains, he developed a belief in God, and became a Christian. After converting to Christianity, he began to insist that story lines be stripped of anything he thought too “adult” or “racy” in Growing Pains. Aaaand that’s when it began to suck really hard.

Kirk has since devoted himself to Christ and started founding ministries and “teaching” Christian evangelism to people, engaging in debates with folks about the supposed scientific proof of intelligent design and making bad movies (the Left Behind series).  He and his partner saw fit to disseminate to thousands of college students across the country an altered Chuck Darwin’s On the Origin of Species book for purposes of furthering their creationist assertions about Darwin and evolution.  Of course it wasn’t just altered in that they added their own notes and refutations to the book, but they also removed selected parts of Darwin’s original text. The “new” book was criticized by scientists and Darwin biographers for containing misinformation about Darwin and repeating long-discredited creationist arguments, for Kirk Cameron NOT IN HELL In Flames of Passion For Christ1 Kirk Cameron Will Go Biblical King James on Your Arse [Celebrity Kids Gone Creepy]employing logical fallacies, and for omitting key chapters of the book. Cameron’s camp later said that the four chapters were chosen at random to be omitted in order to make the book small enough to be affordable as a giveaway (suuuuuuuuuure), with the absent chapters available for download (but the fine print of this was strangely absent). The National Center for Science Education arranged a campaign at colleges across the U.S. to distribute an analysis of the Comfort introduction and a banana bookmark, in reference to Comfort’s argument that the structure of the banana is evidence for Intelligent Design, or God.

Does this make Kirk Cameron bad? I don’t know. He’s not Lindsay Lohan bad, but he certainly turned to the other end of the continuum, which, as the evangelical Westboro Baptist Church shows repeatedly, evangelists are not the most tolerant people in the world, especially of those who don’t fit their specifications for randomly bad interpretations of biblical selections that promote hate and intolerance. On the surface Cameron seems earnest and he and his wife founded Camp Firefly, a summer camp that gives terminally ill children and their families a free week’s vacation.

But Kirk, who is now 37 and an adult capable of rational thought, forced movie executives to cast his wife of 17 years, Chelsea, as a kissing stand-in for his new film Fireproof, because he refused to kiss his onscreen wife. Apparently, he promised Chelsea he would never kiss another woman and that includes when he’s doing his job.

“Because I have a commitment not to kiss any other woman,” Kirk says, “my wife Chelsea came in to the set and wore the dress my character’s wife wore. We shot the scene in silhouette, so when I kiss my wife, I’m actually kissing my wife and honoring our marriage.”

It’s shit like that that’s crazy. It’s honorable and nice in a small way, but it’s just sort of nutty. And that layered on his odd, inconsistent views on the real world and religion make me give him the side-eye. I don’t trust the evangelical fundies. Ah, Mike Seaver.  The non-crazy version of you will remain in my memories.

I wish Kirk wouldn’t have “left behind” Mike Seaver.  (SAD PUN)  Even if he did dress like Ronald McDonald.  But I miss him and I miss my Boner.

    I totally had Kirk Cameron: Dream Guy when I was a preteenybopper. The creepiest thing about his schtick now is how he’s all cheery about saying stuff like, “You will burn in hell :-)”

  • K Best Oliver

    He was on Howevermany Kids and Counting. That’s all you need to know.

    Well, I take that back. Dolly Parton is pretty awesome and she did a meet and greet with the Duggars. But Mike Seaver’s Duggar meet and greet was at a Christian film festival.

  • Lori

    Christians! The only group it’s still acceptable to be completely irrationally prejudiced against! Woo! Let’s all hate on them!!

    (yes that was poorly articulated sarcasm for emphasis)

    Seriously, people have all kinds of extreme views and they don’t get nearly the hatred from supposedly open-minded people that Christians do. As a Christian I don’t necessarily agree with everything all Christians say nor should I. Nor should you. But supposedly tolerant people should be more tolerant of the views of Christians and their right to believe and to tell others what they believe.

    • http://www.decablog.com/jett/blog.php Jett

      I agree. The sweeping generalization of evangelicals is the same sort of thing that you are decrying, yes?

      In fact, replace the word ‘evangelists’ with ANY other word that neatly cinches up a group in a sack (like ‘women’ or ‘blacks’) and there would be upwards of fifty people in these comments absolutely losing their shit, and you’d be run up the Twitter pole.

      When does every last Christian get to stop answering for a few screwloose ones? When do reasonable, loving people of faith get a pass?

    • AmyC65

      Lori and Jett, thanks. Really well said. No other group would be allowed to be slammed the way Christians are. And too few of us know how to speak up without risking being labeled as “unChristian”. Isn’t there a word for judging an entire gorup based on the actions of one or a few? Oh, yeah – Stereotyping?

  • Karen

    Thanks, Lori. I get weary of Christians who are actually trying to live a moral life getting flak from those who call themselves “tolerant” of all other life choices.

    That said, I would suggest to Kirk Cameron that if never kissing anybody but his wife is important to him, that he not take on any more acting roles. Because honestly? You’re an actor. It’s a profession that’s going to ask you to do things you might not do in your real life. I personally wouldn’t want to be married to an actor for the very fact that I’d be bugged by my husband kissing or doing other scenes with other women, even if they’re “just acting”.

    Or you could just do voice work. That’s always an option.

  • Stephanie

    Should you hate on all Christians? Of course not. My problem? The proselytizing. I’m not Christian or religious, but several in my family are. I love them, and they are good people, but I absolutely hate that they try to convert me at all times. I’m not doing the opposite and telling them that I find their religion misguided. You have the right to believe what you believe, and I have the right to not. Don’t try and tell me what I should be doing to save my soul. And I have a big problem on disseminating false Charles Darwin books on evolution to college students.

  • Val

    I personally don’t care for Kirk Cameron’s brand of Christianity (i.e. judgy-ness), but, to me, there is something sweet about his stance to not kiss another woman. If he’s found a way to align his personal beliefs with his professional goals, God love him. I myself sell out just a little bit more every day, so I wish I had more of his resolve.

    I personally look at it akin to a chef who vows not to use fois gras or whatever ingredient — it doesn’t mean they can’t be wonderful chefs (NOT saying that KC is a wonderful actor), but just that they have to make adjustments in their dishes. People who support those chefs’ endeavors probably also feel that way, too, and people who don’t, well, enjoy delicious pate.

    When you’re religion calls you to refute things like FACTS and has inborn prejudices against certain people, then passing those prejudices down to their children, then yeah, I guess I really don’t see a problem with calling them out. Fundamentalists and/or extremists for ANYTHING need a reality check.

    Now when I think of Mike Seaver I picture him as that creepy cult leader from last seasons True Blood.

  • K Best Oliver

    Kirk Cameron can believe whomever he wants to believe and kiss whomever he wants to kiss, but I’ll be damned if I ever refer to a piece of poo drivel like Fireproof as “culture”. In fact, I’d rather not even refer to it as “film”.

  • http://jerseygirl89.com Jerseygirl89

    I always wondered what happened to my crush Mike Seaver (although I liked Alex P.Keaton a hell of a lot more . . .and this just confirms why), then I saw him on the Duggars’ show. It would have been easier watching him on Celebrity Rehab.

    I gotta agree. Be who you are. Believe what you believe. But when you start judging ME according to that belief, and telling ME I am wrong because I don’t agree with you, and disseminating discriminatory bulls**t to get your point across, you deserve to get back a little of your own medicine. Just like Fred Phelps. I hope with every inch of my non-Christian, agnostic heart that his God sets him on fire every day of his afterlife for being such a complete and utter waste of time and oxygen. (Just as an example, I’m not saying that about Kirk Cameron.)

  • Sara

    Pretty extreme of you to lump Kirk Cameron in with Westboro Baptist Church. That church and its members (most of whom are related) are not an accurate representation of evangelicals. The term evangelical generally means that you feel called by God to tell everyone you meet about Him, but although that may be annoying and offensive to some, it is nothing compared to spewing hate and having protests at soldiers’ funerals, schools, and churches (which is just what Westboro does). Google Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist and then Google Kirk Cameron. I think you will find that their messages, along with their communication of said message are vastly different.

  • Emily

    You know, I am a Christian. I don’t try and convert people all the live long day. I would venture to say most of us don’t. And you know why? Because if we did, that would mean we (gasp!) disagree with someone in the popular culture. And that makes US “intolerant”. It’s totally fine for everyone else to bash Christians. We don’t get the courtesy of tolerance.
    And for the record, Fireproof was a nice movie. It was refreshing not to have sex/drugs/atheism thrown in my face every time I want to watch a movie (even the ones that don’t seem so bad on the surface always have it in there somewhere). But those kind of movies apparently fall into some sort of classification of “culture” and “film”. Woops…better stop now. I’m getting all intolerant. Wouldn’t want to step on anyone’s toes or accidentally try to convert someone.
    And for the record, I find KC very extreme, though I think his motives are in the right place, his execution leaves a lot to be desired.

  • Jennifer

    Really? With the divorce rate in Hollywood and in the U.S. in general, you think his stance on not kissing another woman was a BAD thing? I’d take his stance any day over the blatant nudity and almost-sex found in so many other films. Do we really think that all the contact between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie while filming ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ had nothing to do with his divorcing Jennifer Aniston?

    I also take offense with your blatant generalizations in this post. “evangelists are not the most tolerant people in the world.” Really? I know of several who have left the Republican party, embrace environmentalism, and even support Obama’s public stance on abortion. To lump all evangelists together, and especially to lump them with Westboro, is incredibly irresponsible of you. I agree with the several previous posters who called you out for being intolerant of Christians. Apparently it’s a fashionable thing to be.

    Anastacia, the intolerant Mamapop poster who thinks that extramarital almost-sex is great! They must all be intolerant of other people and others’ religions. If one of them is, they certainly all are! Mamapop supports extramarital sex and extramarital affairs!

    Yeah, that’s what you just did in this post.

    • Carly

      Why if KC is so concerned about his marriage vows didn’t he have someone stand in for him, so the actress who played his wife didn’t have to kiss a married man? I’ll tell you, he’s a sexist, misogynistic, chauvinistic, selfish, greedy, arrogant white male. If he had some genuine concern for others he would have given another male actor a chance to have a stand in role in a movie and the stand in guy could have made some of that cold hard film industry cash that KC hogs all for himself and his wife and kids.

  • http://momcast.blogspot.com Leanne – Momcast

    I’m all for Christian bashing. I’d make fun of people who believed Bubbles the Clown was the creator of the universe – I’ll damned well make fun of folks who believe in “God”, especially when they do so in a manner that is hypocritical to the basic tenets of their faith!

    Good grief!

  • Gigi

    I am with Karen. If he is so against kissing other women, quit acting. Or maybe actually read the scripts so he knows when there is a makeout scene.

  • Anonymous

    Guess it’s a no-win situation for us Christians. We’re supposed to quietly tolerate being bashed by anyone who believes differently, and to defend ourselves against gross overgeneralization is hypocritical. Like one poster said, Christians don’t get the luxury of tolerance.

    Someone here said, “In fact, replace the word ‘evangelists’ with ANY other word that neatly cinches up a group in a sack (like ‘women’ or ‘blacks’) and there would be upwards of fifty people in these comments absolutely losing their shit, and you’d be run up the Twitter pole.”

    Seriously? SERIOUSLY?? Ok so lets replace the word ‘evangelists’ with Scientologest , or Pagans. Both at least as valid faiths as Christian evangelists, yet both are endlessly ridiculed and no one seems to be “losing their shit” or running anyone up a “Twitter Pole” over that double-standard.

    Also of noteworthy fact; when yours is the most major religion around, to the point anyone not a part of your religion has less than zero chance of becoming President or being elected toi any major political office, when your religion has such political influence to the point our nations laws and foreign policy are based on that religion’s doctrines (the Bible) even when doing so is irrational and injust to millions (and I’ll be happy to give examples if that’s seriously needed)…well, it’s just kinda had to take crys of “discrimination” &/or “oppression” seriously. SERIOUSLY hard to take anyone making such ridiculious assertions seriously. Sorta like crying about how hard it is to be Islamic in the Middle East, I’m not buying it, but then again I didn’t drink the Cool Aid ether.

    • http://www.decablog.com/jett/blog.php Jett

      The ‘someone’ who said that was me, Jen. And yes, ZOMGSRSLY.

      I can’t believe you even typed most of this little screed with a straight face. Wait…_did_ you type it with a straight face? Because there is a serious backlash against Christianity and its proponents in this country right now. I don’t blame you for not being aware of it; if you are not an active part of a given culture or religion, it is difficult to know –much less acknowledge– its nuances.

      I strongly resent the fact that you sweep all Christians under the rug of ignorance and blind zealotry. My faith is something I have carefully considered and reasoned out in my own being; there was no Kool-Aid drinking involved. I’m an intelligent, well-rounded woman of thought; I walk the path I walk because it feels more right for me than any other thing I’ve encountered in my life.

      I guess what I’m most curious about is who has hurt you in the name of Christ. Because, well, I find that typically no one is as impassioned on a subject as you are without it being a loaded issue for them. Can I just offer you a sincere apology on their behalf? I’m being dead serious. They were wrong to injure you the way they did. The God I love and who loves me does not approve, and even says that they will be judged according to their own standard(s) one day. And seriously, there are a ton of people out there that sport the Christian mantle who have been mishandled in exactly the same manner as you by some church, somewhere. I feel deeply for them, for you, for those like you.

      In fact, I am one of that number. It has sowed into me a genuine concern and, in turn, awareness of how I attempt to communicate Christ to others.

      My original objection stated above was not that there are no erroneous, ugly persons that call themselves Christians, but that I don’t feel it’s fair to sweep us all under the banner of blaming, insensitive, hateful bastards.

    I can’t believe you even typed most of this little screed with a straight face. Wait…_did_ you type it with a straight face?

    [Jen]
    You bettcha I did Jett! So where is your evidence to refute what I said? All I see here is empty rhetoric, which is basicly meaningless. I said Christians dominate this country prove me wrong. I said the oppressors (that would be Christianity btw) are not the oppressed, persons like myself, a Kemetian (which is the Pagan following of the traditions, culture, and Netjeru of Kemet~”ancient Egypt” in the vernacular), WE ARE. Prove me wrong or don’t and prove me right, it’s that simple.

    That’s a load of BS if I ever heard it. My father has a Masters in World Religions, I’ve studied all the major current and past religions with him. He and I Co-run a religious-political group called The Brotherhood of Pagans, we both with our friends in said group keep very abreast of the news, especially where it concerns religious matters. And no one has heard of any “backlash against Christianity” serious or otherwise. No one but you and the paranoid fringe like Glen Beck, Sarah Palin, Rush, etc. But no one else. Of course maybe you could, oh I don’t know, provide some proof, some evidence of this outlandish claim. Got a link to a story to back this up? Or just more rhetoric? You know what that’s worth right?

    I’m sorry but the idea of a woman choosing on purpose to be a part of a “religion” which teaches that women are basicly sub-human cattle, the property of men is about as far from “intelligent” I can think of.

    [Jen]
    No one hurt me. My mother and little sister who were murdered by a Christian fundy for being “Devil-worshiping Witches” they on the other hand were hurt quite a bit. My faith as a Kemetian teaches responsibility, you are only responsibable for your own actions and those of your children untell they mature into adulthood. So therefore nether you nor anyone but the man who was responsibable can apologize for his actions. And when my father caught up with him he was far from apologetic, he was proud of his actions. He was “following word for word the direct Word of God’” he said, for as the Bible plainly states, “do not suffer a Witch to live.” Want the book, chapter, and verse?

    [Jett]
    I’m being dead serious.

    [Jen]
    And they are just dead, the people who disserve the apology that is. The people I love. No apology can ever bring them back or right that wrong. That from your “god” and his religion of “love”.

    [Jett]

    Maybe you should check those links out I posted and see what your “god” actually says about all this stuff. My mom and sis’s killer was indeed following the Bible, the supposed “Word of God” to the letter, so how could biblegod do other than to reward his actions? While were on the subject I’m bisexual, do you know what your “god” would have you do to me (hint: I would be joining my mom and sister!). Like I said check those links, especially the 1st, it’s got separate sections on what the Bible says about woman, homosexuals, familys, all that, it’s very simple and straight forward.

    In fact, I am one of that number. It has sowed into me a genuine concern and, in turn, awareness of how I attempt to communicate Christ to others.

    [Jen]
    “Christ” is from the Greek Christos which is from the Ancient Egyptian “Krst” which means, anointed one, savior, messiah. That title was held by the Egyptian Netjeru (“god”) Heru/Horus. Here’s a little more about Horus, and Jesus also it seems:

    ~Horus was born of the virgin Isis on December 25th in a
    cave/manger.

    ~Horus’ birth was announced by a star in the East and attended by three wise men.

    ~The infant Horus was carried out of Egypt to escape the wrath of Typhon. The infant Jesus was carried into Egypt to escape the wrath of Herod. Concerning the infant Jesus, the New Testament states the following prophecy: “Out of Egypt have I called my son.” (Matt. 2:15)

    ~Horus was a child teacher in the temple and was baptized by “Anup the Baptizer” when he was thirty years old.

    ~Horus had twelve disciples and performed miracles such as feeding bread to the multitude and walking on water.

    ~Horus raised one man, El-Azar-us, from the dead.

    ~Horus transfigured on a mount.

    ~Horus also had titles such as the “way, the truth, the light, the
    Messiah, God’s anointed Son, the Son of Man, the good shepherd, the lamb of God, the Word, the Morning Star, Prince of Peace, the light of the world.”

    ~He was “the Fisher,” and was associated with the lamb, lion and fish ‘Ichthys’.

    ~Horus’s personal epithet was “Iusa,” the “ever-becoming son”
    of “Ptah,” the “Father.”

    ~Horus was crucified, buried in a tomb and resurrected.

    ~The adoration of the Virgin and Child is connected with both the adoration of Isis and the infant Horus and the adoration of Mary and infant Jesus. In the catacombs at Rome are pictures of the baby Horus being held by the virgin mother Isis, the original “Madonna and Child.”

    ~Concerning the writing of the Gnostics, C. W. King, a noted
    English author, says: “To this period belongs a beautiful sard in my collection, representing Serapis,…whilst before him stands Isis, holding in one hand the sistrum, in the other a wheatsheaf, with the legend: ‘Immaculate is our lady Isis,’ the very term applied afterwards to that personage who succeeded to her form, her symbols, rites, and ceremonies” (Gnostics and Their Remains, p. 71).

    ~Osiris, Isis, and Horus are the principal trinity of the
    Egyptian religions. God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy
    Spirit is the Christian trinity. Dr. Inman affirms the Egyptian
    roots of the Christian trinity “The Christian trinity is of Egyptian
    origin, and is as surely a Pagan doctrine as the belief in heaven
    and hell, the existence of a “devil”, of archangels, angels, spirits
    and saints, martyrs and virgins, intercessors in heaven, gods and
    demigods, and other forms of faith which deface the greater part of modern religions” (Ancient Pagan and Modern Christian Symbolism, p.13).

    ~For thirty centuries the Egyptians had been familiar with the
    conception of a triune God. There was hardly a city of any note
    without its particular triads. Here it was Amum, Maut, and Khonso; there Osiris, Isis, and Horus. (Intellectual Development, Vol. I, p. 191).

    ~Views of the Trinity, in accordance with Egyptian tradition,
    were established. Not only was the adoration of Isis under a new
    name restored, but even her image standing on the crescent moon reappeared. The well-known effigy of that goddess, with the infant Horus in her arms, has descended to our days in the creations of the Madonna and Child. (Conflict, p. 48).

    ~There are two stories connected with Horus that is analogous to stories found in the Old Testament. The hiding of the infant Horus in a marsh by his mother undoubtedly parallels the story of the hiding of the infant Moses in a marsh by his mother. When Horus died, Isis implored Ra, the sun, to restore him to life. Ra stopped his ship in mid-heaven and sent down Thoth, the moon, to bring him back to life. The stopping of the sun and moon by Isis recalls the myth of the stopping of the sun and moon by Joshua.

    Seems like your “Jesus Christ” is just a counterfeit of my Horus Krst, LMAO! You should really study and research something as important as to what you entrust your soul. Did you know your “religions” creation was politically motivated (by Paul), that it’s stories, demons, gods, etc are over 90% plagiarized from older Hebrew and Pagan traditions (mostly Egyptian and Sumerian)? Do you even know the name of your “god” (I do) or that there are in fact two, not one but TWO major Hebrew gods who are brothers and enemies, they both are called the generic title “God” in the modern English Christian Bible, but are entirely different beings? My parents were historians, archeologists and Egyptologists and did extensive research into the Christian god, here is an eye-opening piece from an essay my father wrote on the topic:

    “There was originally a distinct difference between the figures of Jehovah and “the Lord”. They were, in fact, quite separate deities. The god referred to as Jehovah was traditionally a storm god – a god of wrath and vengeance – whereas the god referred to as “the Lord”, was a god of fertility and wisdom.

    The name given to the Lord in the early writings was Adon – the
    prevailing Semitic word for Lord. As for the apparent personal name of Jehovah, this was not used in the early days, and the Vulgate Bible explains that the God of Abraham was called El Shaddai, which relates to a Great One of the Mountain.

    The identity of Jehovah (Yahweh) came from the an original Hebrew stem (YHVH) which, according to Exodus, meant ‘I am that I am’. This was said to be a statement made by God, to Moses, on Mount Sinai hundreds of years after the mythical time of Abraham. Jehovah was, therefore, not a name at all, and early texts refer simply to El Shaddai, with his opposing counterpart being the Adon. To the Canaanites, these gods were respectively called El Elyon and Baal.

    In modern Bibles, the definitions God and Lord are used and
    intermixed throughout, as if they were one and the same character – but originally they were not. One was a vengeful god (a people suppressor); the other was a social god (a people supporter), and they each had wives, sons and daughters.

    The old writings tell us that, throughout the patriarchal era, the
    Israelites endeavored to support Adon the Lord – but at every turn El Shaddai (the storm god Jehovah) retaliated with floods, tempests, famines and destruction. Even at the very last (around 600 BC), the Bible explains that Jerusalem was overthrown at Jehovah’s bidding. Tens of thousands of Israelites were taken into Babylonian captivity simply because one of their previous kings had erected altars in veneration of Baal the Adon.

    It was during the course of this captivity that the Israelites
    finally succumbed to the Jehovah god of wrath. They developed a new religion out of sheer fear of his retribution – and this was only 500 years before the time of Jesus. Subsequently, the Christians took Jehovah on board as well, calling him simply God, while the hitherto social concepts of the Adon were totally discarded. The two Religions were henceforth both faiths of fear.

    This leaves us knowing that, within an overall pantheon of gods and goddesses (many of whom are actually named in the Bible), there were two predominant and opposing deities. In different cultures the pair have been called: El Elyon and Baal, El Shaddai and Adon, Ahriman and Mazda, Jehovah and Lord, God and Father – but these styles are all titular; they are not personal names. So who precisely were they?

    To find the answer we have to look no further than where these gods were operative, and old Canaanite texts (discovered in Syria in the 1920s) tell us that their courts were in the Tigris-Euphrates valley in Mesopotamia. We can trace the related Sumerian records back to about 3700 BC, and they relate that the gods in question were brothers. In Sumer, the storm-god (who eventually became known as Jehovah) was called Enlil or Ilu-kur-gal (meaning Ruler of the Mountain), and his brother (who became Adon the Lord) was called Enki, which means ‘archetype’.

    The texts inform us that it was Enlil who brought the Flood; it was Enlil who destroyed Ur and Babylon, and it was Enlil who constantly opposed the education and enlightenment of humankind. Indeed, Syrian texts tell us that it was Enlil who obliterated the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah on the Dead Sea – not because they were dens of wickedness, but because they were great centers of wisdom and learning.

    It was the Lord Enki, on the other hand, who (despite the wrath of his brother) granted the Sumerians access to the Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life. It was Enki who set up the escape strategy during the Flood, and it was Enki who passed over the time honored Tablets of Destiny – the tablets of scientific law which became the bedrock of the early mystery schools in Egypt.

    Maybe you should figure some of this stuff out, you know, the FACTS before you represent yourself as “informed”. I MORE than know what I’m talking about!

    My original objection stated above was not that there are no erroneous, ugly persons that call themselves Christians, but that I don’t feel it’s fair to sweep us all under the banner of blaming, insensitive, hateful bastards.

    [Jen]
    Depending on which Christian god your following (Enlil or Enki) you may be a good person, or an evil one, as most people emulate their god. Of course since your all just calling them both “god” most of you don’t even know yourselves which god your actually following. I figure some are following both which explains the delusion and outright insanity so common in Christians in general. The deity I follow btw is named Sekhmet, the Goddess of Divine Retribution and Vengeance ( http://www.crystalinks.com/sekhmet.html ), just so you know.

    Also, in the future, besides not incorrectly assuming that us non-Christians couldn’t possibly know anything about Christianity, you might also want to compare alike things as I did instead of unlike things as you did. Notice I compared a religion “Christianity” with other religions (Paganism, Scientology). All religions are CHOICES, not things you are born and have no say in. You compared Christianity to a gender (women) and a race (black people), that’s apples to oranges and meaningless as the “anti-Christian backlash” rhetoric your trying to sell.

    Christians, you try to claim you “invented” marriage, as if my ancestors in ancient Egypt weren’t getting married for millenniums before anyone ever heard of your religion or your god(s), then, based entirely on that fraudulent claim you demand discrimination against non-straight persons such as myself, and if we call you out on your lies, ignorance and bigotry we are somehow “intolerant” ~RIGHT! Give me a freaking break!

    And for the record I don’t hate all Christians, I certainly do hate the foul philosophy, the “religion” of Christianity and it’s demonic “god” (you know, Enlil, the one of hate who gets the most air-time). I do know from experience to distrust all Christians unless I know them personialy VERY WELL. I also have very little tolerance for Christians who are historical revisionists, who are so ignorant to sell their soul to a thing who’s real name they don’t even know, who play the victim when nothing could be farther from the truth. And those who misquote me. Like you did when you claimed I “lumped all Christians with the extremists”, I did not!

    My family has practiced the Kemetian way for 94 generations since my ancestors left Egypt about the time the Romans took over. We had to practice our faith in secret, pretending to be Christians just to survive. The women of my family have always passed down the knowledge, from mother to 1st born daughter, as we trace our bloodline through the female not the male. Generation after generation we had to keep our true beliefs a secret, even from the men in our lives. It wasn’t untell my father that a man was ever again taught the truth. Any why was that? So we wouldn’t be murdered by Christians, but you are the ones being oppressed?!?! Sounds like you did drink the Cool Aid IMO! So what say you to this? It’s all just the truth, can you handle it?

      the part; …..[after the mythical time of Abraham]…..
      I’m not sure how to interpret that. Is it literal, meaning the time of Abraham was made up? I would believe you if you said yes, (I’m not here to debate you) but why? What is to be gained by fabricating so much? There is a whole religion based on Abraham not to mention “The Teachings of Abraham”. And don’t tell me you’ve never heard of, ‘The Secret’(j/k). I’m not religious, in fact I’m pretty ignorant about religion, and I can’t help but to regard most Christians as arrogant. So I think your posting is very interesting and I’m going to look at the links.

    I read every single one of these comments, out of curiosity, I guess. I am sad to see that the people calling themselves Christian here have been so sarcastic, defensive and unforgiving. I was hoping at least someone would act in a Christian way and make me consider going back to church.

    After this, I am reminded why I quit.

    (I think the true Christians did not feel a need to respond and attack).

    Ok you know what, Kirk cameron is an inspiration to me. He speaks the TRUTH! If your opinion is that hes lying, than its just that! YOUR opinion! You arent christians, i get it. good for you. But you have no right to bad mouth those who are. I have hope that im going to heaven and the lost who fail to open their hearts to god will have no trouble believing after their dead. Ya’ll have no idea…and you never will cause your too pig headed to see the truth. I will not stand by silently and watch people give christians a bad name. Or my savior. Huh uh, not gonna happen! “Forgive them! For they know not what they do…”

    oh and may i state that FIREPROOF was made by a CHURCH called sherwood baptist in Albany Georgia, and they ASKED HIM how he would like the scene done and were ok with his decision. A moral christian person, actor or not, would have done the same thing.
