Hollywood’s latest attempt to grapple with faith in “Sinners” shows flashes of skill but stumbles into the same old liberal traps. The film’s stunning visuals and strong acting can’t hide its dangerous embrace of moral mushiness that undermines traditional values. Conservatives will recognize this as another case of Tinseltown elites pretending to respect religion while pushing their anti-God agenda.
“Sinners” follows a tortured pastor wrestling with modern society’s collapse – a premise that could’ve celebrated redemption through Christ. Instead, the story drowns in woke lectures about “gray areas” and “personal truth.” It’s classic Hollywood hypocrisy: using Christian themes as window dressing while mocking Biblical morality behind the scenes. The director’s talent makes this betrayal sting even worse.
Andrew Klavan rightly calls out the film’s cowardly refusal to take a stand against evil. Scenes that should condemn sin instead wallow in sympathy for criminals and addicts. This isn’t art – it’s spiritual poison dressed up as depth. Young viewers fed this sludge will grow confused about right and wrong, exactly as the left intends.
The movie’s worst offense is painting God’s justice as cruel while excusing human wickedness as “complex.” Conservatives know evil exists and must be confronted, not coddled. True mercy comes through repentance, not endless excuses for bad behavior. “Sinners” wants us to cry for rebels instead of calling them to change.
Christian audiences are tired of Hollywood’s fake outreach. We don’t need compromised “faith-based” films that dilute Scripture to please secular critics. What America craves are stories celebrating moral courage, not this mealy-mouthed relativism. The church should boycott entertainment that twists God’s truth for progressive clout.
“Sinners” proves talented filmmakers can still miss the mark when they reject divine wisdom. Conservative creators must step up to tell better stories – ones where good triumphs decisively over evil. Our culture war won’t be won by aping Hollywood’s corruption but by boldly championing Christ’s unchanging word.
The left keeps pushing films that attack traditional values while pretending to care about faith. It’s time for real Americans to demand entertainment that honors God and country. We need fewer “Sinners” and more saviors – both onscreen and in our studios.
Until Hollywood repents of its anti-Christian bias, conservatives should focus on supporting filmmakers who aren’t ashamed of truth. Let’s invest in stories that uplift rather than undermine, that convert rather than confuse. Our children’s souls depend on winning this cultural battle.
