Christian Filmmaking (not a theological discussion).

[Anthony Gratl]

Interesting. I just went to your website Hudson. I see absolutely no mention of you being a christian, or about the christian films you're about to make, christian films you like, christian filmmakers you'd like to meet, or just plain how great it is to be one of you. Your NAME's not even on it...pourquoi pas? afraid that it'll turn off the people? Don't want to alienate anyone with some cash in their wallet?
You're actually pretty two faced about this whole christian thing....but thanks for subjecting us non-users of your services to your bs

How can it possibly be propaganda when someone wants to make a list of films that meet a certain criteria?

if you don't like the thread then don't read it and don't post in it.

Amen to that.

No pun intended. Wait, maybe it was.

Evolve, if you don't like the thread then don't read it and don't post in it. If a mod don't want this kind of thread then let them say so. Otherwise, just leave those of who would like to talk about alone please.

Interesting Matthew. Not only should I not post in it, I shouldn't read it either huh? Thanks for your concern, but I'm voicing an opinion. I know that that's not really tolerated in religion, but welcome to how the rest of the world operates. And I'm hardly the only one posting. The community has a say in what threads they all agree on.
As far as letting a "christian filmmakers" element develop on an otherwise secular forum the answer seems to continue to be no. Drawing people into cliques based on belief is not cool.
Again, like the last time Joseph started this bit, if y'all identify so strongly with being christian filmmakers who use red (why the camera factors into it I don't know), why don't you go and start your own site?
josephhudsonwantstoknow.net
redchristianfilmmakers.net

I identify strongly with not being religious, and the idea of "christian filmmakers" offends me. I don't like being reminded how distorted reality is for a great many people out there. I guess it's hard for you to see how difficult that makes it for the rest of us who have to live with delusional types on this planet, as the end result of your beliefs f**k with all of us on a daily basis.

And we can also thank these missionaries personally for changing the infant mortality from 80%+ to below 20%. ...

Matthew

My wife has done a lot of research on the subject of natural—non interventive—child birth. The infant mortality rate for most native cultures is actually above US hospital births (which is actually one of the lowest in industrialized nations.) The idea that 8 out of 10 babies die at birth outside of the modern western hospital system is very colonialistic.

The biggest thing missionaries brought with them was disease.
