ON THE CHURCH AND SOCIETY
By Raymond J. Keating
Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make yourself an ark of gopher wood…”
Genesis 6:11-14
Is God not too crazy about families living in suburban homes and riding around in SUVs?
Well, we know that some in Christian circles – the “What Would Jesus Drive?” crowd – have it in for SUVs. Maybe an offshoot could be a “Where Would Jesus Live?” movement targeting the evils of detached single-family dwellings with nice yards.
Who knew such things irritated our Lord? I know I am sinner, but I did not realize that living in my house and driving a Chevy Blazer were to be listed among my sinful acts.
Anti-SUV and anti-suburbia Christians will appreciate the new film “Evan Almighty.” (Full Article)

"Though some Christians might like this environmentalist bent, it is not Christian. It is a twisting of the faith that plants seeds of division, and fosters distraction from the true Christian mission of spreading the Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ."
It is this last paragraph that is most important. The use of references to God and Christian morality is not new to Hollywood, but, as stated above, they almost always stop short of the real Christian message leaving only a feel-good sentiment that apparently sells well at the box office.
