I’ve always been confused about why so many prominent “conservative” Christians major in entertainment and make-believe.  They know a lot about professional sports, popular movies, and fiction books. They love their entertainment, especially Star Wars and Disney. But are those entertainment-makers respectful of Christian views and values?

Here’s a report from Life News about one of those entertainment-making corporations – Disney – which is very popular with many conservative Christians.

Excerpt:

Walt Disney World, a company founded to bring joy and entertainment to children, told employees Friday that it will pay their travel expenses to have their unborn babies aborted.

The news came after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in a historic ruling Friday morning. The Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision means states may protect unborn babies by banning abortions again,.

The Orange County Register reports Walt Disney World announced the new employee “benefit” in direct response to the high court ruling.

The company, which employs about 80,000 people in Florida, described the killing of unborn babies in abortions as “quality healthcare” and told Reuters that it is “committed” to ensuring its employees have access to abortions, according to the report.

A new Florida law that bans abortions after 15 weeks is scheduled to go into effect July 1. Though not a total abortion ban, pro-life advocates believe the law will save thousands of unborn babies from mid- and late-term abortions every year.

The facts of that article were also picked up in other places, like the New York Post, but I prefer to link to Life News.

There’s a longer list of companies who will pay for their employees’ abortion expenses here.

Here’s an article by The Federalist, talking about the Disney employee who does the voice of the main character in a recent Disney movie:

In response to the criticisms of the bigots who complain about the presence of a same-sex kiss in a film for children, Evans, the voice of this version of Buzz Lightyear, spoke bluntly in a recent interview with Reuters Television, insisting that those who oppose LGBTQIA characters in children’s films are not worthy of your concern. Their complaints will perish with them. Their bigotry will be swept into the dustbin of history. You simply need to wait for them to enter extinction.

Previously, I wrote about how Disney opposed a religious freedom bill, and about how they supported grooming children with LGBT propaganda. But none of this seems to bother the “conservative” Christian leaders, who just don’t want to fight a “culture war” over trivial things like the complementarity of sexes, the definition of marriage, or the right to life of the unborn. It takes work to read books on pro-marriage apologetics and pro-life apologetics. Much better to skip those books and watch the latest entertainment produced by the secular left.

I try not to buy anything from Disney and related companies like ESPN, because I don’t want to give money to people who war against my Christian worldview and values. But it seems like in the church, people know more about Star Wars and Disney than they know about the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus. It’s astonishing, but it’s true. There’s all this emphasis on fun activities and worship songs, but no one can give a defense of the most basic Christian truth claims. “Don’t Judge!” is the new religion of the woke elites.  Star Wars is their Bible. And Disneyland is their Mecca.

Whenever I hear someone talk about Star Wars or Disney, I immediately think “this person’s real religion is entertainment, not Christianity”. I once accidentally let that slip out to one of my co-workers, and he shrieked “how can you say that about Matt? He is a rock star Christian – he’s married and he has children.” Yes, he even has a Calvinist beard, and is very rugged and manly! A real Christian for sure! That’s where we are now – Christianity isn’t about worldview or debate, it’s about looking the part that the church wants you to play to suck other people into the fun-loving community.
