Christians in the Media

March 30, 2007

I’m sick of the way they portray Born Again Christians on TV dramas and sitcoms. Law and Order is a great show, but they got it wrong. Then again, if they didn’t have a wack-o Born again Christian who murdered someone for religious reasons, it wouldn’t have had that Law and Order twist.

This Born Again father murdered his daughter’s teacher because he was teaching her evolution. He said it was justified because he was tryng to save his daughter from the wrath of God.

Okay, how many Born Again Christians out there believe you’ll suffer the wrath of God for the above? The God I know is patient, willing that no one perish, but the verse this “Christian” quoted was John 3:36 “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.”

And there you get the wack-o Christian, because let’s face it is there any other kind of Christian in the secular media?

So what do you think? Are you as tired of this as I am? It’s so ridiculous they way we’re portrayed Christians, it’s rather commical. That’s what I love about writing for the CBA, though some would argue CBA doesn’t depict “All/Real Christianity” at least they’re closer to the truth than Law and Order!

Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another.
