Several petitions by Christian
organizations are urging for the
cancellation of a controversial film that
blasphemes Jesus Christ.
CBN News reported that the
independent movie called “Habit” will
feature 22-year-old Paris Jackson, the
daughter of the late king of pop,
Michael Jackson.
Jackson, who is bisexual in real life,
will be playing Jesus who is being
portrayed as a lesbian who indulges in
carnality with another woman.
E-Online stated that Habit follows a
“party girl with a Jesus fetish who gets
mixed up in a violent drug deal and
finds a possible way out by
masquerading as a nun.”
Jackson’s physical portrayal of Jesus
also features a nose ring, tousled
waves and a traditional robe.
While the film has no official release
date, a petition was made in order to
stop the film’s release by Movieguide,
a non-profit that seeks to restore
Christian values to the entertainment
industry.
Movieguide argued that the “Habits”
release would cause confusion and
mislead children and new Christians
from the biblical Jesus.
Movieguide also noted that the film
lacks the support of a distributor,
hence the lack of a release date.
The petition entitled, “STOP
HOLLYWOODS ATTACK ON JESUS”
already has 100,000 signatures with a
goal of 150,000, alongside donations.
“Hollywood is back at it again!” the
petition starts. “This time they’re
attacking the historical and Biblical
portrayal of Jesus Christ. We need
your help to stop it!”
“Help us prove that this Movie is
unacceptable to believers around the
country and the globe,” the petition
concluded.
Another petition calling for the film’s
cancellation was created by One
Million Moms, an extension of
Christian fundamentalist group
American Family Association.
Elevated Films, who represent the US
rights to “Habit”, was rebuked by One
Million Moms for its “gender-bending”
portrayal of Christ.
“This is a repulsive display of
corporate arrogance and complete
contempt for the faith of Christians,”
the petition said. “You are denigrating
Jesus.”
The petition also noted that the
backing of the film deliberately insults
“the faith of millions of Christians.”
“As a result of your actions, I’m letting
you know that I do not plan to watch
any of your films now nor in the future.
I strongly urge you to immediately
cancel all plans to release the movie
Habit.” the petition concluded.
The petition currently has over 40,000
signatures.
