The goal is to "produce tens of thousands of Kirk Camerons". As if that thought isn't disturbing enough...
An evangelical university famous for its conservative ideology is partnering up with a similarly controversial activist to create a new religious film.
Liberty University, founded in 1971 by televangelist Jerry Falwell, will team with former child star-turned-Christian activist Kirk Cameron to produce the 90-minute film, slated for release later this year. Cameron said the film will answer questions about why God lets bad things happen. The partnership was announced last week during Christin television program "Praise the Lord, which airs on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.
Liberty's Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. said on the program that Cameron is the "example of the type of graduate that Liberty is trying to turn out" and praised Cameron for "using your profession to impact the culture, and thats what were trying to do in every profession.
So thats why we decided to partner with you on your newest project," Falwell Jr. went on to explain. "Were trying to create tens of thousands of Kirk Camerons and put them out there.

(99,915 posts)Holy crap (pun intended) - those might be two of the single worst movies I have ever seen. If they're gonna make a movie like that shouldn't it have, I don't know, production value?

(12,081 posts)And there are all kinds of marriages and all kinds of ways of keeping marriages strong. You don't have to approach your marriage biblically to make it successful. For those that want to do it that way, I say go for it. But my husband and I are not Christian and we have been happily married for 18 yrs.
