Liv Tyler Says ‘The Ledge’ Is Not Anti-Christian, Christian News.
This is a very interesting article on a movie that will surely make waves among Evangelicals, for its portrayal of the pathologies of fundamentalism.
I have no idea why are Christians so obsessed and aggressive towards those works of art that describe them, be it rightly or unjustly, in a negative manner. Christ warned us that when we suffer for our own stupidity, we get when we deserve and when we suffer unjustly, we get what he himself got from those who opposed him.
I was able to finally able to watch on my way back from the States another movie that many Christians considered an offense: The Golden Compass. I was wondering why is that and, to be fair, I still do. To my surprise, I was in quasi- agreement with most of the criticism in the film towards the Magisterium (a symbol of the power of the institutional religion).
Again, I am afraid that this kind of reaction is an expression of our inability to accept that death of Christendom.
