Born again Christians in the animation industry?

Only the FLDS (which isn't recognized by the Mormon church) believes in polygamy.

I disagree with this, and quite a few Mormons also disagree. The only Mormon I've come across that called herself Christian is a hardcore fundamentalist. But that's for another place and time...
 
I'm curious, why does this surprise anyone? Christianity is the largest minority in the country. Of course there are plenty working in the animation industry.
 
No, it really wasn't. Yes, a couple of colonies were founded for the purpose of escaping persecution and doing a little persecuting of their own, but this country, as in the United States of America, was created as an anti-authoritarian country. We kicked out an authoritarian king and a state-run authoritarian church.

People in this country are free to do as they wish, and that was the principle this country was founded on. Sadly, we're still working on that principle, since some people do not wish for those they agree with to have the right to do as they wish too.
 
Let's not have the Founding Fathers argument again. The truth is, the Founding Fathers believed whatever YOU, the person reading this, believed. Yes, YOU! Now be happy.


How does that....make sense? That's an oxymoron. Or maybe it was a joke?
 
No, that's not really true. According to the Jewish religion, a Jew is a Jew if s/he converts or his/her mother is Jewish. (The father is irrelevant. There's no such thing as a half Jew). Nothing can change that, even if the Jew converts to another religion or renounces Judaism. A Jew is a Jew for life. It's like if someone is Asian, there's nothing they can do to change that fact. Oh, and according to the Torah, a Jew who practices witchcraft is put to death if s/he had proper warning and witnesses.

There were a number of orthodox Jews in the industry at one point. The story for Everyone's Hero was written by an orthodox Jew, and most of the executive producers were orthodox Jews as well. One of them prays in my synagogue, actually. Unfortunately, after it bombed, they all stopped working in animation.
 
Its really simple.

USA $1 dollar bill(back): "In God We Trust"
USA 25cents Quarter : "In God We Trust"
God Bless America?

USA National Athem: Part 4

"O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause. it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

I believe those born again christians in the animation industry are also aware
this country has as a Christian foundation.
Brian Ballinger is one of my fav animation artists.
 
In theory, you could use the above to say we are a Jewish Nation, or a Muslim Nation.

Nope, we are an anti-authoritarian nation, with the freedom to worship or not worship as you see fit. Our country was founded upon the notion of living your life as you see fit, with freedom and liberty.
 
Actually based upon your earlier message, your theory is contradicting you.
"Yes, a couple of colonies were founded for the purpose of escaping persecution"

This persecution your talking about regarding those colonies, was as you
said due to religious persecution. Puritans and also Quakers, those who
believed the Holy Spirit dwelled inside of people of Christ.
Christ=Jesus Christ= God= Holy Spirit) The Trinity.

Hmm....I think we're a "tad" bit off topic:sweat: ,
and I have nothing else to contribute to the threads
question at this time. So I stop here.
 
Those are colonies, that is not the United States of America. The United States of America was founded as an anti-authoritarian nation where people, in theory, could live as they pleased. Obviously, we're not there yet, but that's the spirit of what we were founded upon. Freedom, and liberty.

We are not a theocracy. A theocracy is, by it's very definition, authoritarian. Again, you are free to live your life as you wish to. Just as long as you do not impose your beliefs upon me.

Oh, and just for the record, "In God We Trust" did not exist on our currency until the Red Scare in the 1950's. Nor was "under god" in the pledge of allegiance until that point.

We are not a theocracy. We are an anti-authoritarian nation where we are free to live as we choose to live.

To me, there is no greater evil than trying to impose your will on another human being. Everyone leaves everyone else alone.
 
They're the same thing, it's just another term for it. The term "born again" comes from a passage where Jesus said "a man must be born again to enter the kingdom of Heaven," meaning he must accept salvation through Him. From then on you are a different person in God's eyes, in effect, "born again."
 
It's not exactly the same thing. It means to have a spiritual conversion or awakening, sometimes including a baptism. You can't just be a born-again Christian because your parents were Christian and being baptized as an infant like Catholics do doesn't count, it has to be a conscious choice to accept Jesus.
 
Hey guys, can we cool down on the politics and arguments?Awesome.

Anyway, does anyone know if John Lasseter is Christian, because he seems to be a very nice guy. Then again, i shouldnt judge.
 
Not as weird as Neil Gaiman's family. They were Jewish Scientologists.



Christianity a minority? Only about 15% of Americans are nonreligious and about the same percentage combined would account for Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. So that makes Chrisitianity the majority religion.
