Kirk Cameron Is Creating A Christian Nationalist Version Of Mr. Rogers

Cameron describes his regressive show as ‘a modernized version of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood.’

By NewsHound Ellen — November 22, 2024

Cameron is yet another holier-than-thou right-winger who uses Christianity to justify cruelty. He’s just fine with sexual assault, so long as it’s a straight man preying on a woman, for example. But he sees drag queens showing up at one of his public readings is as threatening.

Instead of considering that maybe drag queens and everything else he can’t tolerate is an obvious manifestation of God’s will, Cameron and his right-wing pals want to shove their version of God, Christianity and everything else down our throats.

His latest effort is a Christian nationalist version of Mr. Rogers. That’s not what Cameron called it, of course, but that’s clearly what it is.

SO I wonder if he can handle this saying

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is a biblical concept spoken by Jesus in Luke 6:31 and Matthew 7:12...............you know neither to be harmed and do no harm...............unto others........... or did you skip that part............

His acting skills were terrible and it was clear the rest of the Growing Pains cast could act circles around him.

I'm embarrassed that I was a fan of that show back in the 80s.

And I know Kirk Cameron was never much of an actor, but his acting as seen in the trailer is embarrassing.
