...don't be swayed by the hype and untruths circulating currently

http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/benamon/070303

Hollywood continues in its attempt to shove untruths down our throats. But it all depends on whether or not the American public ingests the lies or not.

James Cameron, director of the famed Titanic film has joined the list of those who continue in their pursuit to disprove the deity of Jesus Christ. In his documentary to air on the Discovery Channel March 4th, (called The Lost Tomb of Jesus) Cameron claims that he has found the place where Jesus was buried, that he has found the coffins of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and son Judah. Christians FIRMLY believe that Jesus was entombed, but wrapped in a burial cloth and not enclosed in some coffin! Christians believe Christ rose from the dead, and now sits at the right hand side of The Father. Jesus is God's Son.

I haven't heard of such disrespect of the Christian faith since Ron Howard's The Da Vinci Code made it's debut, and what is even more disgusting is that both Cameron and Howard make mention that Jesus was married and had a son.

The Da Vinci Code film was more of a fictional conspiracy- type film, where viewers were not to think that any of the film's messages were true. However, it could have easily planted a seed in a person's mind to start thinking, "What if?"

Cameron's film however uses an archaeological site supposedly to prove his claim. But even archaeologists aren't buying it.

Amos Kloner, an Israeli archaeologist told the BBC that, "the names marked on the coffins were very common at the time."

When the tomb was discovered, Kloner was one of the first people to investigate.
He says, "I don't accept the news that it was used by Jesus or his family."

"The documentary filmmakers are using it to sell their film."

Why of course they are! Cameron definitely is pushing this film for the sake of dollars and not for integrity's sake.

He exclaims, "It doesn't get bigger than this."

"We've done our homework; we've made the case; and now it's time for the debate to begin," says Cameron.

He obviously HASN'T done his "homework" when there are those from the scientific community who are debunking his outrageous claims. It's just another attempt to railroad Christianity.

As if there wasn't anything else that borders on such trickery and outrageousness to come to light...get ready for Al Gore. Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth won for Best Documentary at the Oscars this past week.

Gore panders to the radical environmentalists and the left, because the average American citizen isn't listening. There have been too many people in the scientific community to stand up and debunk the Global Warming theory, many of whom end up being shunned for having a differing opinion. There are those that believe that human activity may somewhat contribute to Global Warming, but not on a scale to suggest that the earth is in extreme danger. Of course, we as humans are living on this earth, we are sure to affect it in some way. And on a grand scale, the earth is always warming and cooling, according to climatologist Dr. Timothy Ball, PhD., of Winnipeg, CA.

"There is no doubt warming has occurred since approximately 1680 the nadir of the Little Ice Age. However warming has also generally occurred since the major ice sheets started to melt about 18,000 years ago. In between there have been periods of cooling, the most recent from 1940 to 1980, hence the concern about cooling at that time. The mistake was in assuming the trend would continue. The fact is the climate changes all the time so you can pick any period you want to argue it was cooling or warming," says Ball.

In Al Gore's view, Global Warming is worthy of the hype and frantic calls for help that permeate his movie. Funny thing is, if the former Vice President wanted to purvey to the public a sense of emergency regarding the Global Warming issue, wouldn't he make an effort also to set an example?

The Tennessee Center for Policy Research has found that Al Gore's Tennessee mansion "consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year." Gore's excuse to that? He uses renewable energy sources as well.

Sorry Al, but you are still using an astronomical amount of energy. If politicians are going to buy into the Global Warming hype, they should stop rolling around in SUVs, flying in their private jets, and using an insane amount of energy, and start practicing what they preach.

Bottom line, there are those who are trying through all odds to change society's way of thinking on specific controversial subjects. Logic isn't in the equation with them, it is purely propaganda meant to sell the public "their" way of thinking.

And rational thinking people need not buy into the madness.
