The faith-based market is a lucrative one, and Hollywood knows it. Movieland, however, is dominated by liberals, and for the Left, agenda comes before anything. This puts the statist elitist majority of the film industry into an interesting situation. If they are willing to make faith-based movies, they can make a mint. But, while doing so, considering their agenda, they can't pass up the opportunity to reach that otherwise untouchable Bible-thumping segment of the population with their leftist propaganda. Like the politicians, they try not to show their hand in too obvious of a manner. Leftism feeds the public with their agenda in small pieces, or by masking the darkness of leftism with the light of good intentions and carefully worded hysteria that comes across as fact, rather than as loony-toon theories of social engineering that are actually the driving force behind their message.
Christians aren't stupid. They know exactly what the liberal leftists are up to.
With slight-of-hand, those critical of liberalism are herded away from the full agenda, and may not always see the true insidiousness of the message they are being delivered through the entertainment industry.
The film "Noah," with Russell Crowe grabbing the helm, has cultivated immediate concerns when it comes to how Christians view the film. Rather than using the word "God" in the film, the script leaves the Omnipotent Divine Being out of the movie, for the most part, with a feint mention of "The Creator," when necessary. Rather than communicating directly with God, Noah receives confusing visions that he decides he must act upon. And the primary reason for the flood, the wickedness of humanity, and the impurity of the generations, is not only not the reason for the flood (they found environmentalism to be much more convincing, in their opinion), but the subject of the Nephilim is bastardized, changed, and blurs the line between good and evil.
All of those things serve as fodder for the anger the Christian Community has with the action-packed "Noah" film that will hit theaters this weekend, but masks the true danger of films like Noah.
Darren Aronofsky, the director that brought us another septic portrayal of human nature, Black Swan, has attacked more than a beloved Bible Story, or the basic tenets of Christianity, Judaism, and religions that have artificially piggy-backed on the Bible, and counterfeited and warped Christo-Judaic values. This film attacks the very foundation of the United States of America as a nation that operates under the rule of law.
I was told a story recently, by Mike Morrell, candidate for California State Senate in today's special election, about how during the Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, then Senator Joe Biden asked Thomas what would be the basis for his decisions as Supreme Court Justice. Clarence Thomas replied, "Natural Law."
Biden was confused. He had never heard of such a thing. Joe Biden articulated that nobody was aware of such a thing, and to describe what it is. Thomas went on to describe Natural Law, championed by such names as John Locke, but did not hammer on the fact that its very presence in our system of laws is provided in the first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, for fear of embarrassing the democrat Senator.
Natural Law is God's Law. Our rights are given to us by God, not by government, so government cannot take away those rights. And the fundamental understanding of the difference between good and evil is Natural Law. Our entire system of governance, and justice, is based upon the morality handed to us by God. Nature's Law was among the driving forces behind English Common Law, but Natural Law was the part of the law that cannot be changed. Because of the presence of Natural Law, combined with the fact that the Constitution is written down, the document is not a living and breathing guide that sways like reeds under the force of wavering public opinion. The Constitution, based on Natural Law, is a set standard, and it is by that rule of law that we, as a nation, are supposed to exist. If we abandon Natural Law, we abandon the Rule of Law, and we become enslaved by the Rule of Man - where the flawed opinions of man chooses the path of justice, culture, and the moral integrity of an entire nation.
In the film, "Noah," the Omniscient architect of Natural Law is presented as a flawed being. God is fallible, according to the humans behind the movie, and therefore His Law must be, as well. The Perfect Being that Reigns in Heaven created a flawed species, says the film, and He was disappointed - which in the Biblical sense is not entirely untrue, but then again, we are also taught that this is not a flaw of God's, but a flaw of man, and that God knew exactly what was going to happen, and in the end of the tragic story is a glorious finale that reveals God's Will, and confirms His Glory.
By eliminating God's Supremacy, and inserting the glory of man's decisions in this movie, man is elevated to a level with God. The Tower of Babel, this time, cannot be toppled. Humanity searches for the singularity, where he can proclaim himself god, at which time the God in Heaven would no longer be necessary, and His existence would fade away.
A part of this process of erasing morality and our system of values in society is called "relativism," and is closely aided by its cousin, "pluralism." In Aronofsky's film "Noah," the line between good and evil is blurred when the Satanic fallen angels, "Nephilim," the presence of which was a driving force for why God flooded the Earth, are not only portrayed as benevolent, but assist Noah by doing the heavy lifting during the building of the ark, and later battle against, and are victorious against, the hordes of people besieging the ark in hopes of climbing aboard at the last minute.
Noah, the man from the Bible, was chosen because he was pure in his generations (Genesis 6:9). The fallen angels, Nephilim, married with humans, and had children with the humans, diluting the purity of human genetics as today's scientists are doing with genetic tampering, and manipulation (such as in using Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) to produce our food supply). Noah's bloodline did not contain the demonic genetic influences. He, and his family, were pure in their human blood.
To welcome the demonic Nephilim as helpers, and saviors against other people, is to send a message that there is no line between good and evil, and in fact "darkness" aims to help us in our struggles. God's enemies are not enemies, we are being taught by this film. Man, and dark forces, are actually in control. Natural Law, the Rule of Law, and God himself, are not important, and none of them are something we need to concern ourselves about.
Of course, like all Hollywood productions, the film ad-libs into the story the human struggles of family, betrayal, and resentment that are anything but products of the Holy Bible. All good stories deserves human conflict, I suppose, and these dramatic parts of the story of Noah were added by people. The problem is that there is an uniformed sector of the public that is so poorly educated, or cares so little about seeking out the truth, that they will actually believe these depictions to be Biblical.
One Biblical ingredient remains, however, intact in the film because it runs in line with liberal left concept of environmentalism. Noah, and his family, provides the world with a fresh start. A new beginning. God, in a sense, hit the reset button.
The Environmentalism Agenda also seeks a new start, using concepts like "Sustainable Development" (Agenda 21) to move humanity away from nature, into high-density cities in a stack-em-and-pack-em environment. This, too, like with the Story of Noah, will need to weed out the unwanted masses of humanity, because only so many folks can fit into these mega-cities. Man's way, however, does not care about Natural Law. The Rule of Law means nothing to these people. Theirs is an objective driven by the rule of man, and the natural consequence of packing a lot of humans into settlements that are unable to contain the massive numbers is the same one concluded by the book of a generation ago, "Population Bomb." To reach their goal, there must be depopulation, but the genocide by humanity will not be by flood.
"Noah," the movie, portrays God and Man in the manner that the perpetrators of social engineering aim for. God, and the Biblical story of Noah's Ark, becomes fantastical, on the scale of Lord of the Rings, and fairies and nymphs. God is nothing more, to these people, and their portrayal, as some fantastical magical sky wizard that is neither real, nor capable of communicating with Noah directly. Perhaps God is a figment of his imagination - the movie leaves a sneaking suspicion of. But, the movie also comes across as a triumph of man - of man's ability to overcome the impossible - which is fine, unless all credit is then given to man, and not to God, and the author of Natural Law.
