“Larry David would never do this to Muslims. He doesn’t have the guts.”
That’s missing the point.
Hypocrisy or a fear of how some wacko extremist might react has nothing to do with this. Hollywood constantly singles out Christians for cruel ridicule and the worst kind of stereotyping for one simple reason…
They hate us.
They hate our guts.
There’s nothing more complicated to this question than that.
I promise you that if every Muslim on the planet was as gentle as a kitten, it would still be Christians singled out by the entertainment industry at every opportunity.
Now, you wouldn’t know it from following modern-day pop culture, but we Christians do have a sense of humor and are just as capable of laughing at ourselves as anyone. But we also know when we’re being singled out, when we’re being laughed at and the difference between good-natured and mean-spirited. We acknowledge that there are many good people working in Hollywood who oppose this kind of bigotry and double-standard, just not enough of them to put a stop to it…
Here’s how much they hate us, how much they want to hurt us — and it goes way beyond a willingness to damage their own bottom line…
Good people hurt innocent people every day. We lose our tempers, say things in anger and generally come to regret it later. That’s one of the rougher parts of dealing with the human condition. And when good people watch Larry David piss on Christ, his mocking and blatant disrespect makes them angry. Some might even think, “I should produce a YouTube of me pissing on Hollywood’s god — Barack Obama!” Which wouldn’t be a difficult or expensive thing to do in this digital age.
But good people don’t follow through on such things. Eventually, their better nature takes over as they think about how such a cruel and disrespectful act might hurt those they know who admire Obama … or the president’s two young daughters.
Nothing, however, stopped Larry David — not the time, logistics, planning or funds needed to put this cruel episode together. David’s not a dumb man, and neither are the many people who made the production possible. Every one of them knew exactly what they were doing, what the outcome would be and what Christ means to His followers.
And they relished every moment of it; the planning, execution and most of all, the uproar and disappointment that followed.
Anger puts cruel thoughts in your head. Hate’s the fuel required to take you across the finish line.
There’s no shortage of fuel in Hollywood.
