Kirk Cameron is a Raving Christian Looney

"I was rich, I was young, I was famous, I could do anything I wanted with whomever I wanted." - Kirk Cameron

BELLFLOWER, California - At the height of his Hollywood success, former "Growing Pains" sitcom star Kirk Cameron started worrying about something his money couldn't buy: salvation.

He had more than just legions of fanatic fans. He also had stalkers and kidnapping threats, and was sometimes driven to the set in a bulletproof car. It got him thinking about his own mortality. He had it all, but still felt empty.

He used his faith to strong arm the producers of Growing Pains to cater to him...I use to have respect for him now he is a religious Zealot.

1. so really in the past he was a big time arrogant asswipe and instead of just

trying to be not a douche bag and decided to be born again. still seems like an arrogant dbag imo, maybe his conversion didn't take.

[MADem]

2. Who the fuck is Kirk Cameron?

I guess the little asswipe isn't as famous as he thinks he is....!!!

Sounds to me like the little turd is trying to find some residual fame amongst the easily-led who might vaguely remember him. Kinda like that ugly Baldwin brother tried to do....

Hey, when you have no talent, you do what you can, or must, I guess. Beats working, I imagine!!!

Sounds like this jerk has been "left behind" by the rest of the film and TV industry. And, awwww...he hasn't been missed.

[smirkymonkey]

14. Why is this "D-List" former child actor getting any press anyway?

who cares what he thinks?

He always gave me the creeps anyway. :scared:

[Warren DeMontague]

17. Because now he's a hero to the knuckle-dragging, 6000 year-old-earth crowd. nt

[maggiegault]

32. A "kind, compassionate Kris-chun" who was cruel to former castmate Tracey Gold as she suffered

During the last years of the Growing Pains series, Tracey Gold was terribly sick with anorexia nervosa.

Kirk Cameron reportedly refused to have nothing to do with Gold, stating that her illness was a sign that "she had not been SAVED."

Gold beat the illness, continues to act, and married the love of her life in 1994. They have two little sons and are still married today.

Kirk Cameron was the only member of the Growing Pains cast that did not attend Gold's wedding, citing "security issues."

[smirkymonkey]

37. What a little bastard!

Sounds like the "Fred Phelps" brand of KKKristian to me.

[MADem]

28. Maybe this is the flopsweat ploy of a desperate publicist!!! nt

[AlinPA]

16. Never heard of him. nt

[BlooInBloo]

3. Woohoo! Time for the banana video again! (happydance)

EDIT: Ooops - forgot the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z-OLG0KyR4

[Shoedogg]

5. Yes, yes! The banana proves the existence of God...

...because it, um, fits in your hand...and, uh...when you hold it it points at your mouth.

My wife and I still can't see bananas without going into a laughing fit.

By the way, Kurt...you know who else eats bananas? Monkeys, apes and chimpanzees.

Oh my God, do you know what this means??

THE BANANA PROVES EVOLUTION!

[blogslut]

11. Did you say banana?

[acmavm]

19. Oh my goodness, I don't know what to say. How did I ever not see this

piece of lunacy before today?

I like comedy as well as the next guy. But this guys, while being funny, are sad at the same time.

How the hell do they explain a damn coconut? Ever tried to get one of them babies open without a struggle and a hammer?

[BlooInBloo]

21. There's always money in the banana video. LOLOL!

[nickyt]

31. No worries - Gob sent the insurance check in! (..didn't he?)

[BlooInBloo]

40. heh!

[LiberalFighter]

23. So why didn't God make beans big enough to grab like a banana?

Or were they meant to be inserted into the nostril?

Were there bananas in the Garden of Eve?

Why did God make pears so juicy that your whole mouth gets sloppy wet? Why pear shape and not round like an apple?

[BlooInBloo]

41. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

[Toasterlad]

25. I Immensely Enjoyed This Line in the Comments Section:

"Mike Seaver has lost his mind."

For some reason, that just kills me. I'll be laughing all day. :silly:

[BlooInBloo]

27. It's funnier than the individual words would lead one to believe.

[Canuckistanian]

53. "...nicely curved towards the face"

I think I lost it at about this point....

:rofl:

[jmowreader]

56. Change "banana" to "penis." Same thing.

[enki23]

4. you... had "respect" for him?

based on what?

[AlCzervik]

6. kissing Chachi's ring i can understand, but liking Mike Seaver--no.

[melody]

7. He lives in Bellflower and he thinks he's found the promised land?

He should have taken an earlier turn-off.

He's your basic, garden-variety right-wing nerd. No valid social skills, cloaking himself in
pre-made fundamentalism and pseudo-anti-social rhetoric so he can feel better than all the people
who disliked him for all the reasons he wasn't capable of understanding. It's his little Big
Brother fortress against the world. See also Newt Gingrich, Karl Rove, etc, etc.

[seabeyond]

8. it is his to do. his life to live. n/t

[Straight Shooter]

26. He's a dingbat who is trying to influence people to his dingbat way of thinking.

I doubt whether he would offer you the same peaceful message that your life is yours to live, unless you live it the way he thinks you should live it.

Therein lies the difference.

[seabeyond]

29. and...... that is o.k.

i dont need anything from kirk and kirk has no power over me. all those that are influenced by kirk allows it,... cause after all it is also their life to do and no one has the power to MAKE anyone do a damn thing. we make the choice.

[Straight Shooter]

34. People like Kirk are what brought bush into power.

I'm not okay with that. Probably neither are the hundreds of thousands who are dead. When a person's belief system translates to mass death, such as approval of the war in Iraq, I can't excuse that person.

[seabeyond]

51. sorry i cant do that. i cannot condemn people for who they chose to be

i can acknowledge, be angry with,.... what their action create. but your post is sounding too much like what i hear from the very people that you criticize. and this type of attitude in deciding who each of us MUST be, per our own perspective is the illness that is contaminating our nation today. not the individual beliefs of each other, or our uniquenesses.

[Toasterlad]

9. Man, Fame Really Fucks Some People Up.

[AngryOldDem]

10. This is old news

A lot was written about how much of a pain in the ass he became as Growing Pains neared its end. He objected to a lot of storylines and often said he would refuse to continue with the series if the producers didn't kowtow to him.

[tridim]

13. Well to be fair Growing Pains sucked during it's entire run

Not just the late episodes.

It was the second worst popular sitcom of all time, after 'Home Improvement'.

[pstokely]

30. He got many people on that show fired

some quit, he called the producers "pornographers"

[Blue Belle]

52. He also got that one actress fired...

One of the actresses who played his "Love Interest" also posed for playboy (or something like that). He got her canned because of that - or at least that's the version of the story I got on "E True Hollywood Story - Growing Pains"

[Hawaii Hiker]

12. Ok, I'm old enough to remember Growing Pains

as I'm about same age as Kirk Cameron..."Growing Pains" was a funny show, sorry to see Kirk transformed into just another "holier than thou" holigan.....

[BlooInBloo]

15. I was in love with the mom! lol

[Hawaii Hiker]

18. The MOM, really, I

always found her to be too whiny, LOL....Her & Alan Thicke's character were always getting into those annoying conversations...

[BlooInBloo]

20. I was 15. I didn't care *what* she said.

[Ghost in the Machine]

36. Wasn't that Meredith Baxter Birney??

Man, I had the hots for her even when she was just the older sister on "Family". WOOT!

[fudge stripe cookays]

49. No, that was Family Ties.

Joanna Kerns was Kirk Cameron's TV mom.

[Blue-Jay]

22. Kirk Cameron is a looney?

No kidding? Next you're going to tell me that Alan Thicke is Canadian.

:silly:

[LiberalFighter]

24. He had it all, but still felt empty.

Of course he felt empty. He is empty.

[Rosemary2205]

33. This guy isn't hurting anyone. Leave him alone.

Geez it's like a phobia around here.

[sutz12]

35. He's big in the "Left Behind" movies....I wouldn't exactly say he's harmless... nt

[Rosemary2205]

39. Left Behind movies don't harm anyone.

If you don't like it don't go see it. If you don't want your kids to see it then don't take them. It's a freakin movie. You know "free speech" and all that guff? Look, the guy isn't bashing anyone, he's not shoving his views down anyone's throat. He's not holding people hostage. Leave the dude alone to enjoy his fantasies in peace.

[fudge stripe cookays]

50. That's incorrect.

He shoved his views down the throats of everyone on that show.

And if you think these people don't harm anyone, look what their views have wrought...Bush and his cabal. They couldn't have gotten all the support they've had thusfar without lunatics like this supporting them.

How many dead are there in Iraq this week, soldiers and civilians? Not harming anyone my ass.

[Rosemary2205]

54. WHAT?

The article says he requested a change on Growing pains and was told they were keeping it in and he dropped it. How's a simple request "shoving".

And show me where the guy supported Bush OR the Iraq war. You are making an assumption. You have absolutely no information whatsoever that the guy even votes, let alone who he supported and why. I got no problem with bashing people who make life miserable for the rest of the world. But this guy isn't hurting anyone that we know of.

[fudge stripe cookays]

57. Some of us have actually seen or read more...

about Cameron's history on the show than just the article above. Ever watch E! ? They had an Inside Story show on Growing Pains. Cameron was a bona-fide asshole to many of his co-workers when he experienced his miraculous conversion.

As far as his voting, no we don't know IF he votes. BUT, read these articles it's obvious that he values dogma over science:

http://www.evidencebible.com/witnessingtool/questionsforevolutionists.shtml (way of the Master is Kirk's own site, btw)

http://www.evidencebible.com/witnessingtool/missinglinkstillmissing.shtml

http://www.evidencebible.com/ (The Evidence Bible-- recommended by Franklin Graham! You remember him-- doing everything in his power to "save" Teri Schiavo from we Godless heathens?)

Seriously-- your peacemaking sentiment is admirable, it's just misplaced. Cameron is a proseletyzing shitbag.

[Silent3]

55. An important part of free speech...

...is using your own free speech to criticize the things you don't approve of, including the things other people are saying when they exercise their free speech. As long as you aren't trying to put legal roadblocks up to prevent someone else from saying what they want, and you aren't using threats of violence outside of the law to intimidate others into silence, you aren't violating the letter or the spirit of free speech for everyone.

Kirk Cameron's message is stupid enough and harmful enough, and so is the message of the Left Behind books and movies, that I think it calls for vocal opposition, not merely ignoring the message.

[BlooInBloo]

38. Perfect American anti-intellectualism.

[Rosemary2205]

42. Big hugs

I am really enjoying all the personal attention lately!

:pals:

[BlooInBloo]

43. I'm here for you! :)

[qanda]

46. He's not out driving drunk

Or beating his wife or harming his kids. You are exactly right-- people should leave him alone.

[Edweird]

44. That "way of the master" foolishness is good for a laugh.

[WinkyDink]

45. Whatever floats his boat.

And I am SO not an "anti-intellectual".

[UTUSN]

47. What HAPPENED to that boy?!!1 n/t

[hatrack]

48. Who?

:evilgrin:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

58. Yes, but what's his best friend Boner up to recently?

That's what Americans really want to know.
