Where is this Movie?

admin — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 05:18:57 +0000

To Save a Life hit box offices this past week, but as someone who looks at movies trailers on a frequent basis, watches the local theaters for good flicks, and is always interested in discussing the next big film, this one has totally escaped my notice…and I don’t think it is because the movie is bad…it’s because the movie is evangelically Christian.

Yahoo does not even reference this movie in it’s section. Apple has a page, but it requires a search. I can only do so much, but if you haven’t seen the trailer or need a movie suggestion, take this one from me. Go see it. I can’t promise it will be amazing, but I can promise that you’ll leave the theater edified, which is more than I can say for most movies in the theater right now…save maybe one I will blog about later, after I have seen it.

Ronald Reagan’s opinion of Govenment-Sponsored Healthcare

It was shocking for me to discover recently that Ronald Reagan was recorded in an LP discussing the dangers of a socialized system of medicine. I looked for a transcript of this talk, but was unable to come up with one. Instead, I’ve chosen to link to an excerpt from the LP, that I think is just as relevant for today as it was on the day it was recorded.

This video makes a pretty unique apologetic point. Much more should be said about the subject, but I thought the video was worth sharing.

What else should be said?

Why does evil exist? Why do we so easily forget that the evil we experience is the result of our defiance of God, and our seeking the knowledge of good and evil in spite of God’s command?

Revisiting the Matrix: What were they REALLY talking about?

As an avid movie-watcher, sometimes I find movies coming back with new significance. Earlier this week, I heard someone quote a line from that Matrix that got me thinking. After further analysis, I found quite a few interesting parallels in the movie, but none so striking as this short scene where Morpheus discusses the deception of ‘the system’. Sounds to me as if he’s speaking the language of Christians. Read it for yourself, and see what you think. Then, if you get a chance to watch this old movie again, look for the use of Biblically-significant terminology like ‘Zion’.

“The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.”

The National Debt: Why Obama’s Spending is Bad

It’s common for me to hear people compare the national debt policies of George W. Bush and Barak Obama…but this is just an unfair comparison. I have not found a better illustration, called the national debt road trip, by blogger ‘Political Math’. Especially since he keeps his data sources simple: direct from the government.
