When you watch television shows, as good as they are, like 'Joan of Arcadia' and 'Touched by an Angel,' everything is this kind of mishmash of faith but not any specific religion.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think people wanted to see some specificity in faith on TV.
Religion is capable of driving people to such dangerous folly that faith seems to me to qualify as a kind of mental illness.
My beliefs encompass all religions. But I never show my religious inclination in my films. My characters have dark sides; they aren't the god-fearing characters. It wasn't a conscious decision. I'm a very lazy and emotional person who connects with the common man.
We've had so many faith-based movies that I think are sub-par; I almost want a new phrase for them.
I think something that's very relevant in real life and that they don't portray enough on TV is that when you think 'Christian,' you think 'goody two shoes' - they have to look a certain way and do certain things - and it's just not true.
In every religion there is an element of the supernatural, varying with the influence of pure reason over its devotees.
I think in a lot of network television, everyone's vaguely Protestant and doesn't really go to church so they can be 'relatable.'
Religious faith depends on a host of social, psychological and emotional factors that have little or nothing to do with probabilities, evidence and logic.
Nothing is more indispensable to true religiosity than a mediator that links us with divinity.
My faith, inasmuch as I have any, is more like a kind of Joseph Campbell thing, and even that frequently finds itself tested to oblivion in siren waters.
