So Liberty University and Kirk Cameron are teaming up to produce a movie [View all]

The goal is to "produce tens of thousands of Kirk Camerons". As if that thought isn't disturbing enough...

Liberty University, Kirk Cameron Want To 'Create Tens Of Thousands Of Kirk Camerons' (VIDEO)

An evangelical university famous for its conservative ideology is partnering up with a similarly controversial activist to create a new religious film.

Liberty University, founded in 1971 by televangelist Jerry Falwell, will team with former child star-turned-Christian activist Kirk Cameron to produce the 90-minute film, slated for release later this year. Cameron said the film will answer questions about why God lets bad things happen. The partnership was announced last week during Christin television program "Praise the Lord,” which airs on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.

Liberty's Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. said on the program that Cameron is the "example of the type of graduate that Liberty is trying to turn out" and praised Cameron for "using your profession to impact the culture, and that’s what we’re trying to do in every profession.”

“So that’s why we decided to partner with you on your newest project," Falwell Jr. went on to explain. "We’re trying to create tens of thousands of Kirk Camerons and put them out there.”

Maybe they can go back to making awful spiritual films like "Fireproof" and stop catapulting the propaganda.
