Has Christianity become the latest social taboo?

[DirtyParsnips]

I rented two cheezy horror movies on Netflix last night, and I have to say I was a little shocked that both of the villains were fundamental Christians. The most extreme was "Timber Falls" which had a very religious family that were totally off the scale. And I got to thinking, are these the next target group.

In the 1990's all the villains seemed to be gay, that was the acceptable group to target. But in the 2000's there seems to be a rise in Christian killers and villains in horror.

The vast majority is Christian, how could the majority be a taboo? Maybe wackjob * fundamentalists* will become taboo, but not Christians as a whole.

Atheists who makes movies make Christians evil

Christians who make movies make Atheists and Gays Evil

Michael Bay makes horrible movies

Your answer.

 

[M'aiqtheLiar]

No, it hasn't.

70% of Americans are Christian. That's not a social taboo. It's only taboo amongst college graduates and intellectuals who make movies.

Is there a reason you're not separating insane psycho serial killer Christians from the rest of the group?

Wow, you watched two whole movies with crazy Christian villains. Clearly, it must now be taboo to be Christian in the USA.

 

[ExpendableTedAndru]

those are crazy false Christians.....for some reason the SH!TING AMERIKAN gov is making Christians look bad with these movies. true Christians are not like that. but it is a taboo to even be a true Christian.....as you can tell from the Atheists, if u are a true Christian you are hate filled bigoted homophobic racist judgers......

Nobody likes the fundies. Not even fundies like their fellow fundies.

It's a group that we can all agree to hate!

FOR SINNERS, MAYBE.

Just look around you, if you live in America. Christianity is certainly NOT taboo here. Quite the opposite.

Hollywood liberals are opposed to GAWD ALMOGHTY.

 

[ChookiPachucki]

Pretty much. Get used to it if you're a Christian.

 

[AllergictoBullshtt]

maybe because the fundies ARE the villains

Meh try being a photographer

We are always being depicted as some kind of psychos in movies or as terrorist pedophiles in the press. People like to stereotype it makes the world simpler for them to understand :-(

Christianity is still the VAST majority in the west, so I think one would have to have a huge persecution complex to think that Christianity was considered taboo. In the US, it is still horribly shocking for one to admit publicly that he or she is an atheist, and intolerance and bigotry against non-Christians is higher in this political climate than it has been in decades.

Did you ever think that the villains in those horror movies were fundamentalist Christians because fundamentalism is inherently creepy?

there is still more homophobia..so I guess we are still society's "villains" with our need in equal rights and not wanting to be ostracized...
