NOT AFRAID br> Re: Lisa Fabrizio's It Must Be Easter : /p>

Lisa Fabrizio makes a good point, in how Christianity is trashed in our news and entertainment media. It's not just the news and art galleries anymore, either. The kids have to be propagandized, too.

I have lost count of the number of cartoons in TV and movies where clergy and believers are portrayed as spiteful, bigoted morons, or useless cowards.

Anytime I see hate-the-Christians junk, I think, "You wouldn't dare do that to the Moslems, or traditional American Indian religions."

And our baby-boomer media types even think they are so brave when they do this! Attacking Christianity -- how brave, how daring, how original.

p>It's always Christianity that gets attacked, the racists are always white, the conformist town is always a right-wing suburb and never a left-wing campus---you get the idea. br> -- John Lockwood br> Washington, D.C. /p>

I had never noticed that anti-Christian films, shows, and television tend to be released during the Easter season until Lisa Fabrizio's article about the "Chocolate Jesus" and the Obama as Savior art. I looked up the date of the Da Vinci Code release. May 19, 2006 in the United States. Easter in 2006 was April 16. So a big chunk of the advertising, discussion, and pre-release promotion was during Lent and Easter. The Anglican Archbishop denounced the movie in his Easter Sunday sermon, which tells you something about the buildup that was in place. Same with that show about the supposed "tomb of Jesus" with the television special in the United States shown during Lent this year.
