   Charles Sidnor to All   
   Is Allen an anti-Christian bigot?

   I remember one of Allen's movies, it might have been 'Radio   
   Days', where he and his leading lady are being chased by bad   
   guys. The run into a church by a door leading to the area behind   
   the altar, and end up in the aisle of the church.   
      
   They have lost the bad guys, and are talking about whatever it   
   is. The scene shows the LL on the left, and Allen on the right,   
   with the altar in the background, out of focus. Above the altar   
   is a large cross.   
      
   Allen says to the LL, speaking of the bad guys, that they they   
   represent something inferior. To emphasize his point, he   
   gestures with his thumb back toward the direction from which   
   they came, which is, in this shot, the altar and the cross.   
      
   You would have to be unconscious not to see that this was a not-   
   so-subtle insult to Christianity.   
      
   Apparently, Allen thought that the goyim who paid money to see   
   the movie would be too stupid to notice, or too afraid to   
   complain, lest they be accused of 'antisemitism'. And he was   
   right, as far as I can tell; I don't recall any complaints about   
   that scene, or about any other anti-Christian sleaze in his   
   films.   
      
   Have you Woody Allen fans noticed this sort of hatred and   
   contempt of Christianity in his films? If you have, and I don't   
   see how you could miss it, what do you think of it?   
      
   It seems to me that an aspring PhD could work up a decent thesis   
   along the lines of: Anti-Christian Bigotry as Exemplified In The   
   Films Of Woody Allen.
