NOAH THE MOVIE: VEGAN, GLOBAL WARMING HEARSAY OR HERESY?
Imagine a Hollywood special effects movie that takes a simple, short biblical parable and attempts to turn it into a global warming story complete with a fight scene …
Noah is a conservationist and there is no mention of God in this tale of progressive imagination. Somehow I seem to imagine Mel Gibson rather than Russell Crowe playing Noah.
One reviewer summarized this tale of progressive story-telling …
"Noah" ties God's wrath to the indiscriminate despoiling of the land and the slaughter of earth's animal population by greedy and hungry humans. (Noah and his family are vegetarians and view the consumption of meat as a sin against God, referred to here only as "the Creator.") The deluge, vividly described by Noah as "the waters of the earth meeting the waters of the sky," is depicted as kind of a nautical version of a Panini press that sandwiches the earth's creatures between slices of roaring water and crushes the life out of them. <Source>
Regardless of what the movie says, it would do well to remember your bible …
Genesis 9:1-4 (King James Version)
9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
9:2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
9:4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
Nothing about vegans, but certainly a direct reference to well-seasoned meat-eating.
Bottom line …
Look to the progressive mainstream media to hype this movie – but wait for the word-of-mouth from your friends before jumping on the vegan/conservation bandwagon.
Unless you are a progressive socialist democrat hipster, have clamoring kids, or are into dysfunctional dystopian disasters – you may wish to think twice before shelling out the big bucks at the theatre and wait until it comes out on a DVD. And, if you are a special effects aficionado, this is a must see.
Of course, the real question is whether or not Biblical Story Adaptations, Russell Crowe, and special effects, of course, can save a rather degenerate Hollywood that typifies so much of the evil and bad behavior in this world?
