You Protested Harry Potter? What About ‘Pirates’?

It seems as though our inconsistency has been dragged out of the comfortable darkness into the cursed, revealing light.
Not too many years ago, the Christian community was pretty outraged that JK Rowling’s books (and subsequent movies) were hitting the big time and seducing all our children over to the dark side of witchcraft and sorcery. We/they protested. Boycotted Barnes and Noble. Pickted theaters. Meanwhile, Rowling raked in the free press and the big royalties.
So, what about the second in the ‘Pirates of the Carribean’ sequel, “Dead Man’s Chest”? Here is a thought-provoking article about our inconsistent outrage towards Hollywood.
As the article states, “If we’re going to pick on Potter, we’d better pick on Pirates.”

Consistency is a real pain in the neck. Glad I did not promote Boycott Potter because I love being a Pirate

yeah…funny how we boycotted Disney because of Gay Day. At least, until Disney released ‘Narnia’…then we convieniently called an end to the boycott…
harumph…

But there is a really cool scene about salvation…
One of the pirates is reading the Bible
The other asks him what he’s doing
He responds, reading it so he can get to heaven
Then he says but you can’t read
To which the first one responds, yeah, but he’s getting credit for trying
You gotta love it…
