It’s no secret that James Cameron’s Avatar touches on some controversial issues, but is it really worth the amount of effort that critics are putting into condemning it?
From accusing Mr. Cameron of being “anti-military” all the way to accusing the film of being “demonic,” conservatives and Christians alike have launched a soon-to-be-forgotten tirade against Cameron’s latest epic.
Why is this so irritating to me, you ask?

I’d like to think that I’m a pretty “aggressive” Christian, meaning, I don’t pull any punches when I speak and I certainly don’t beat around the bush with people.
But, I have to admit that even I was stunned when I heard that certain churches are using mixed-martial arts fighting as a way to draw new converts into the sanctuary of God.
I seem to remember the apostle Paul mentioning that in the last days there would be people departing from the faith and moving into fables and such—I just didn’t think it would be something like this.

It’s amazing how when 200,000 people drop dead as a result of a catastrophic event that the words “God’s mercy” begins to fly out of the Church’s mouth.
That makes very little sense considering people are left trapped under rubble for days and their loved ones have gone the way of the earth. Can’t we just call a spade a spade and then show the mercy of God?
So, here’s my tirade of questions to any spineless believer out there who has this particular ”holier than thou” attitude. What were you doing before the devastating earthquake hit Haiti? Were you feeding the poor, teaching the Word of God, or comforting the persecuted saints across the world? Were you doing anything for Jesus?
Probably not. (More …)
