mark driscoll hates avatar (REALLY HATES IT!)

By February 26, 2010Blog

I found this video of Pastor Mark Driscoll at his YouTube.com account. Apparently, Mark HATED Avatar. And he wanted everybody to know how much he hated it, so he posted this little video of him telling his church how much he hated it.

In this sermon clip he pretty much calls Avatar a Philistine, an enemy of God! His exact words are “[Avatar is the] most demonic, satanic film I’ve ever seen.”

Wow. He must have seen it in 3D.

Mark goes on to tell us that Avatar contains a “false Jesus, false savior, a false resurrection, a false Heaven…”

And Sigourney Weaver smokes!! But he doesn’t mention that.

I wonder if Mark knows the movie is fiction. I mean, it’s just a hunch, but I’m not convinced that he realizes James Cameron knows the movie is false.

I mean, did Mark see The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe? Does he know the Lion isn’t real?! And that Frodo is make-believe, too? How about The Fonz? He seems to definitely believe in The Fonz.

Eventually, Mark says… “People are just stunned by the visuals. Well, the visuals are amazing because Satan wants you to emotionally connect with a lie.”

I will admit, when I watched the Smurfs as a kid, I did want to live in a mushroom house.

Mark goes on to say that “Nobody has ever accused him of being a fundamentalist!”

Really?! I find that really hard to believe.

But if that’s the case, let me be the first: Pastor Mark Driscoll, you’re a fundamentalist. You’re like the late Jerry Falwell with tattoos, a faux-hawk, and a tendency toward belittling women.

But you know, at least Jerry knew he was a fundamentalist. He owned up to it. He didn’t try to trick anybody into thinking otherwise.

Toward the end of the video, as a way to prove he loves creativity and the arts, Mark tells us how rich he is by listing off how many home theaters and Tivos he owns, and then adds, “Our film crew was just down in LA at Universal Studios shooting on the Spartacus set… getting footage for our Good Friday service…” (There’s a punch line somewhere in all of that, but I won’t go there…)

Anyway, to be fair, I didn’t like Avatar, either. But not because I thought it was Satanic. But because the story and dialogue was awful.

If Mark is right about Satan playing a role in making Avatar, then it would have been a better movie, I think.


What do you think? Is there really that much difference between the world views of Avatar and that of movies like Lord of the Rings or Star Wars or The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe?
