QuoteKirk Cameron wants people to know that many have Christmas all wrong. It's not a Christian holiday with pagan origins, but a Christian creation through and through.
In his new film, "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas," the former "Growing Pains" star and popular evangelical figure told the Christian Post he's taking aim at all the people "who really want to put a big wet blanket on the celebration."
"It starts this time of year. You have people who want to pull down nativity scenes, you have lawsuits showing up in schools that can't have Christmas performances ... it has to be winter break or holiday break or sparkle season ... they want to take that out of Christmas so they don't offend people who hate Christmas. And then we have a new group who are telling us, convincingly, that Christmas is actually a celebration of paganism."
The Bible doesn't specify the date of Jesus' birth. Some scholars believe it was in the spring, while others have used the clues in the Bible to estimate an autumn birth. However, many modern Christmas traditions, including the Dec. 25 date and a celebration based around a tree, began as pagan celebrations of winter, such as Yule and Saturnalia.
Even the Christian Post notes on a separate page that Pope Gregory I once wrote to his missionary in England not to block traditional pagan festivals, instructing him instead to "adapt them to the rites of the Church, only changing the reason of them from a heathen to a Christian impulse."
Cameron believes they all have it wrong, and his film attempts to derail arguments that some Christmas traditions have pagan roots.
"We don't know this stuff, we kinda drink the Kool-Aid and believe pagans when they tell us they have ownership of these things," Cameron was quoted as saying.
Read the full interview at The Christian Post.
Over the summer, Cameron told The Blaze that atheists wouldn't be too happy with his new film.
“I assume they’re going to get frustrated to see some of their best arguments deflated by this movie, because we take on some of the most commonly parroted myths about the origins of Christmas,†he was quoted as saying.
"Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas" opens on Friday.
If we could turn stupid into fuel, Kirk Cameron could power the world for the next 1,000 years.
And it is very important for the world to know that HE is saving it. No ego there eh?

Now if we can just convince him to crucify himself to save Easter.....
When stupid comes from unknown people its fine, because they are nobodies who haven't ever starred in popular media and whos names are known.
When its a celebrity, having that level of stupid is dangerous, since it can spread like a virus making other people stupid.
how many Christians do you think read what he said, and now think its obviously correct? I mean as people who believe in what they do its not much of a stretch.
Someone needs to educate Kirk about Saturnalia, and where the real origins of Christmas came from.
I don't find it sad that Kirk is so over the top delusional. I find it sad that thousands of people are gonna eat this up and assume he's right.
They're cancelling xmas? Those bastards!
:wtff: I knew he was an idiot, but now he is encephalitic. Did he ever actually read a history book about the pagans, they were around thousands of years before Christians. :wall:
Wait- it's brilliant! Kirk Cameron is using the media to get free publicity for his movie! By making lame comments!

Think of it this way, he goes under the evangelical handle, so he probably believes everything christianity tells him, even that the world is only a few thousand years old and Christianity is the only true religion, all others are just stories made up by people to mock christianity.
Too late Kirk. I have officially cancelled Christmas and instituted a law that makes it illegal to call it anything but Xmas. The "x" is for extreme and no longer a mass. There is no way he can bring it back... just like when god sends people to hell. Mwahahahahhahahaha!
Somebody seriously needs to bitch slap Cameron-just to get his attention- and point out that Winter Solstice celebrations have been going on since the Babylonians, and probably before that. I'm beginning to wonder if this twit can dress himself.
:smile2: :lol: :rotflmao:
Why do people always think we're out to destroy Christmas? I celebrate Christmas like, too. They'd have a point to say that we commercialized the holiday and took Jesus away from the spot light, but they are the ones who did that.
Bill O'Reilly has to have something to bitch about.

Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas' review: Maybe there should be a war on trite Christmas movies
lthough the film's title and posters of its star heroically brandishing a giant candy cane might suggest a holiday romp summoning the ghost of "Growing Pains" past, "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas" has other random ideas.
An unholy mess co-produced by Cameron's faith-based Camfam Studios, the movie begins with a fireside chat in which the genial star shares his love of everything Christmas while addressing the naysayers who insist Dec. 25 has lost its meaning.
One of the disillusioned is Kirk's dour brother-in-law, Christian (played by the director, Darren Doane), so Cameron spends most of the film in his car, schooling him in the "real" biblical connection to Christmas trees, Santa and more, aided by some dramatic re-creations.
Sermon concluded, Cameron steps down from his front-seat pulpit and the two rejoin the family Christmas bash, just in time to join in a hip-hop performance of "Angels Have We Heard on High."
Virtually everything about this production feels thrown together. Even with that extended musical interlude (performed by the God Squad Dance Crew) and an end-credits blooper reel, the package barely cracks the 80-minute mark.

The biggest fear I have in cases like this, is the thought of Christians producing an actual GOOD theistic based movie, one that makes the general populous support it and take their side in there delusion.
Fortunately, most people see these kind of movies as what they are, desperate pushes by desperate theists who can't get people on their side with fear and control, so have to resort to showing the world how they can't act, write or produce anything other then bad memories of wasted digital celluloid.
Is Kirk Cameron like the Pope of Fundies? Ugh. Someone ''defrock'' him, already.
I love one of the first reviews on imdb:
Quote1/10
"One gets the impression that Kirk Cameron actually started reading his own Bible, was disturbed by what he found (such as Jesus' instruction to "go sell your possessions and give to the poor"), and produced this film as a desperate justification for his own hypocrisy.
At my theater, nobody laughed, and nobody stayed for the end credits. This purported comedy film fails at every level. If you're really looking for a laugh, go back and take a look at what Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort have to say about the glorious design of the banana."

No, he's just a halfwit former TV actor who can't get a role in a real movie or TV show out to make a buck off xtianity.
So true! Kirk Cameron tells women their place is in the kitchen this holiday season as he urges them to cook, clean, decorate and sing to have the best Christmas ever
Kirk Cameron recorded a message explaining how women could have the most possible joy this holiday season
Cameron recommends they cook for the family, decorate the house and sing, among other things
He also recorded a video for men, saying they should go 'all in' over the holidays, while also doing the dishes and giving foot rubs
He also urged both men and women to see his new film, Kirk Cameron's Surviving Christmas, which is in theaters now
Reviews of the film call it an 'unholy mess' and 'one of the least artful holiday films ever made'

QuoteThis may be one of the least artful holiday films ever made. Even devout born-again Christians will find this hard to stomach.

Always Woodstock (13%) beat Kirk's movie.
"But when Catherine is unceremoniously fired, and then comes home to find her long time fiance (Jason Ritter) in the arms of another woman, she decides that it's time for a change. Selling off her engagement ring, Catherine moves back to her family home in Woodstock, to get back to what she has always wanted to do: write music. One night at a local bar, Catherine stumbles into handsome town doctor Noah (James Wolk), and cannot deny the moment of magic between them."
Yes! It's about time someone did a movie about a woman scorned who then write's music and finds a better guy to fix her life.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Someone needs to make a parody of them both, in a gay relationship.
It might not help gay rights in anyway, but it may at least make all the fucking idiots who think chuck norris is awesome because of meme's look at him in another way.
