In looking at past Oscar snubs,
Brian Cherry came up with this assessment of filmdom's disdain for "
The Passion of the Christ:"
This powerful and moving film depicted what many believe was the most important moment in the history of the world. Had the Roman historian, Tacitus, seen the film, he probably would have said, “Yup, that’s exactly what we did to him.” Seeing as Hollywood rejects Christianity in much the same way that the human body would reject a heart transplant from a water buffalo, the Academy chose to pretend this film, the near billion dollars in revenue it generated, and the millions of people who loved it, simply didn’t exist.

I once heard an Army officer say "One team one fight," as he was awarding an AFJROTC student an Army scholarship. It reminded me of the words of William F. Buckley in the book "God and Man at Yale." He basically said all deception comes from one place. All political maneuvering, political correctness and slanted journalism is an assault on the truth. Only those who know the Truth can recognize the tactic. Those who do not are swept away and deceived by "cleverly devised arguments." All we can do is pray for and proclaim the "Truth." May God help us to be steadfast. Hollywood is motivated by deception and their whole business is deception, making something that isn't real look real. How convenient.
