Now what’s wrong with a little blasphemy? It’s what comes with it. If your favorite movie star says, “I like driving this sort of car, I like wearing this sort of clothes, I eat this sort of food . . .” millions of fans follow them. Whatever they like, people tend to like. How they talk, we tend to talk. Why is there so much blasphemy? Why did 900 atheists go on YouTube earlier this year and blaspheme the name of God? Why did they do that? Whey didn’t they say “Mohammed?” Why didn’t they say “Buddha?” Why Christianity? It’s because Hollywood has an agenda. It’s made up of a nucleus of people whose life’s philosophy is anti-Christian.

Why? I think I know why. I think Hollywood attracts a certain type of people. Usually good-looking, intelligent people with large egos—they’re not the type of people who gravitate toward the humility of Christianity. And so we’ve got an “unreal” nucleus of people in this place we call Hollywood who’ve got an anti-Christian, anti-God philosophy, and it’s reflected in the industry. When Christians are portrayed in movies and on television, they’re almost always portrayed with a negative slant. And that’s what I bring up in the book again and again—that some idiot who’s lustful and hypocritical and uses bad language as he talks about God portrays Christians [poorly]. And mainstream America isn’t like that. Eighty-seven percent want “Under God” kept in the Pledge of Allegiance. So Hollywood’s got this thing they’re pushing and it’s turning a whole generation—or generations—against the God of Christianity. That gets up my nose big time, because I live to turn them to the God of Christianity.

We want to give away hundreds of copies of the DVD [Hollywood and God], we want pastors to screen it in their assemblies—I screened one in Chicago recently. Didn’t hardly have to say a word. I just stood up afterwards and said, “If you’re watching blasphemous movies, you need to repent and say, ‘God, I’m sorry.’” They just streamed forward. No music, no nothing – they just came forward and knelt. I think it can purify the Church, because it’s hypocrisy when you sit and listen to someone cuss the name of God, who you profess to love, because God has highly exalted the name of Jesus and given Him a name that’s above every name.

So when you say in the book that we have one rock with which to slay this giant, it’s that e-mail, and letting the studios know that you’re not going to tolerate blasphemy anymore?
Mmm-hmm. Just say, “We’re done with it. Hollywood, we’re gonna hit you in the dollars.” And that’s Hollywood’s language. If they knew that millions of dollars are not going to come in just because they use blasphemy, then they’ll stop using blasphemy. Every time we go to a movie and pay money, we’re saying, “Hollywood, bring it on. We like what you’re doing. We’re paying you to do this.”
