Are they attacks?


When Hollywood Attacks

I know that I, for one, am able to suspend disbelief to watch fiction but still know that it is exactly that, fiction. The Dan Brown's popular book wasn't a bad novel, but I didn't for a moment think it was other than fiction. The popular film Hellboy has a graphic novel for it's genesis. I know that and I don't believe it's based on reality. I don't think that any of the events in Ladyhawke ever occurred in history. (But that attacked the Catholic Church, and we know they're not Christian anyway, right?) I think that some Christian folk are into the 'circle the wagons' mentality right now and are feeling persecuted again. Hollywood is about one thing, money, and if these films don't make lots of that they'll go away. I doubt that the films will convince anyone that they are anything but fiction...
