| A
pastor, his wife, and four ambitious artists
who want to make it in the Christian
Industrial Complex form the backbone of the
"Jesus People" story. The pastor
guides the artists and introduces them to
other celebs in the market where
Christianity is spelled Chri$tianity.
Obviously no co-incidence: the pastor
looks like Rick Warren and one of the
artists speaks about how her former husband
ruined her career in the Christian Market
before: those in-the-know will recognize
similarities with Amy
Grant.
But even without knowing (some) details
concerning the true events and people that
inspired the makers of "Jesus
People", the viewer of the video will
recognize how little exaggeration is
applied. Completely unnecessary, as the
Christian Industrial Complex in itself makes
a mockery out of the true Christian faith.
Time for a smile, and -when you know
yourself to be involved in the Christian
Industrial Complex- perhaps time to realize
how blasphemic this complex is, in
reality.
For it is obvious that the makers of the
video know the difference between the
Industry and the faith better than many
who call themselves "Christian".
