Atheist John Carpenter
By David J. Stewart | November 2013
Psalms 14:1, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.”
One of the most famous movie directors in Hollywood is John Carpenter. Every year at Halloween time Carpenter's numerous horror films are showcased on television. There's no debate that Carpenter is a talented producer and from everything that I've read over the years, a really nice guy to work with. Sadly, Carpenter is a professed atheist as admitted himself in this 1998 interview with BigO magazine...
John Carpenter, Filmmaker
From a 1998 interview for his film Vampires conducted by Kenneth J. Souza for BigO magazine:
BigO: Do you expect any flack from the Catholic Church over their depiction in this movie?
JC: The Catholic Church has picked this up ... we got an extremely positive review in France. This is the only movie I've ever made where you have a hero priest at the end of the film pull out a cross and say "God has always been with us." This is my view of hope. This is hope, this is a positive message. I recommend some of my past films for the negativity.
BigO: Although the church is often a source of sanctuary and social order in your films, you don't subscribe to any organized religion, do you?
JC: I'm an atheist, but I have a great fascination with this issue — over God and whether there is one or not. I come to (my belief) personally for my own reasons and my own decisions. But I respect anybody who believes anything, I don't have the ultimate answers about anything.
SOURCE: http://www.samscratch.com/filmsofjc/articles/jcinterview_souza.htmlI am convinced that John Carpenter is a sincere man, but the Word of God warns that sincerity is often a sure path to death. Proverbs 14:12, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
I am also fully convinced that John Carpenter is a high-degree Freemason, but that is only my opinion. I've seen numerous photos of Carpenter flashing occult symbols, showing his allegiance to the New World Order. You'll also see The Great Pyramid, All Seeing Eye and other well-known Illuminati symbols throughout his films. These symbols are a popular way for fellow occult members to cleverly communicate with each other.
Perhaps Carpenter's most notable occult work is THEY LIVE (1988). Here's a brief description of the film, THEY LIVE...
They influence our decisions without us knowing it. They numb our senses without us feeling it. They control our lives without us realizing it. THEY LIVE. A rugged loner (Roddy Piper) stumbles upon a terrifying discovery: goulish creatures are masquerading as humans while they lull the public into submission through subliminal advertising messages. Only specially made sunglasses make the deadly truth visible.
Behind a clever veil, the film exposes the predatory ruling elite who subtly control and shape every aspect of our daily lives through subliminal advertising, occult symbols in plain site and a carefully guarded secretive society of Illuminati power. It is interesting that we find so much truth these days in science-fiction movies, and people don't believe it; while at the same time the public believes all the lies and deceptions spoon-fed to them by the lying mainstream newsmedia. It's insane! Tell people the truth and they don't perceive it! Tell people lies and they buy into it hook, line and sinker like a hungry fish ensnared on a fisherman's line. Why do people believe lies while rejecting truth?
Hollywood And The OccultDespite a preponderance of overwhelming evidence, many people still refuse to believe that 911 was an Inside Job. How do 2 planes bring down 3 buildings? No plane ever struck World Trade Center building number 7. The Bible tells the truth, but few people believe it; yet the Vatican lies to a billion Catholics and they foolishly believe every word! The average American gets upset when discussing what happened on 911, because it was an emotionally charged event in U.S. history, like Pearl Harbor. They refuse to believe that our own government leaders, particularly the Bush administration, could be so evil as to murder almost 3,000 of our own citizens. THEY DID!
Hollywood's Satanic Agenda... VERY Eye Opening! (television is the satanic family alter)
The Illuminati (architects of the New World Order) mock our woeful ignorance and naivety by bragging about what they did on 911. They placed an All Seeing Eye at the 911 Ground Zero Memorial. And now they've erected the nation's tallest skyscraper, featuring The Great Pyramid (official NWO symbol) 1,776 feet tall in honor of the Declaration Of Independence. New 1,776 Foot “One World Trade Center” Skyscraper Admittedly Symbolic Of Male Phallus. Sadly, most Americans haven't made the connection. They fail to see that the Masonic powers and secret societies behind the forming world government (aka, New World Order). U.S. Presidents do the dirty work, one puppet administration after another, taking the heat and the blame; yet, the true controlling powers working behind the scene in Washington D.C., pulling all the strings and controlling the mainstream newsmedia are never scrutinized, revealed publicly or brought to justice. America is truly one nation under the Luciferian god of Freemasonry.
Human nature is so strange. Credit card companies and banks try to enslave people financially. They deceitfully print the word “FREEDOM” on their credit card, but it's not freedom. You can end up enslaved very quickly with a credit card. How often do we shop at a store called “Pay Less” or “Cost-U-Less,” but we end up spending more because everything's in bulk? They trick our minds. Here's the trick.... the human mind tends to detect key repetitious or emphasized words and things in the forefront, but our subconscious brain doesn't pay attention to fine print, mumbled words or subtly presented disclaimers. A good example is Toby Keith's and Jimmy Buffet's latest shameful music video titled, “TOO DRUNK TO KARAOKE.”
It is interesting that we find so much truth these days in science fiction movies, and strong faith in the supernatural amongst professed atheists. If you engage in conversation with an atheist, ask them if they believe in the possibility of extraterrestrial life? Most will affirm yes. Is not God an extraterrestrial life form? Yes, absolutely! “Extraterrestrial” simply means beyond the earth. By definition God is an alien. This paradox exposes the biasness and spiritual darkness in the atheist's heart, that they will deny the existence of a holy God and divine Creator while at the same time allowing the possibility that aliens created the world as we know it. No one talks about God as much as Christians and atheists. Read about the satanic world of Stephen King.
God's Existence Is As Clear As The Universe Around Us
The trustworthy King James Bible proclaims that there's no such thing as an atheist...
Romans 1:20, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.”
No one will be able to make excuses, not now nor on judgment day, concerning God's existence or anything else. As you just read in Romans 1:20, God is “CLEARLY SEEN” by the “THINGS THAT ARE MADE.” Only someone with a wicked unbelieving heart refuses to acknowledge God's presence. The Word of God plainly declares that nature and the universe teaches the existence and goodness of an omnipotent God...
Psalms 19:1-4, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.”
No one can deny God's existence, power and presence. Intelligent design is proof of God. John Carpenter is more of an agnostic than an atheist. Many people who profess to be atheists are really God-haters. That is, they believe in God, but hate Him. An “agnostic” is someone who is not sure if God exists or not. Billionaire Bill Gates is agnostic. Although Carpenter states that he is an atheist, he also states that he is not certain whether there is a God or not...
I'm an atheist, but I have a great fascination with this issue — over God and whether there is one or not. I come to (my belief) personally for my own reasons and my own decisions. But I respect anybody who believes anything, I don't have the ultimate answers about anything.
SOURCE: http://www.samscratch.com/filmsofjc/articles/jcinterview_souza.htmlJohn Carpenter makes the woeful error that most people do, that is, following his own opinions instead of the Word of God. The Bible warns us against doing what we think is right instead of obeying the Bible...
Proverbs 14:12 and 14, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. ... The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.”
The road to Hell is paved with neon lights and good intentions. The Devil tricks people into thinking that God is so understanding and loving that He would never cast someone into a horrifying Lake of Fire. They are woefully ignorant of the truth of God's Word. If God allows death and suffering in this world, I assure you that He will allow death and suffering in eternity too as payment for men's sins. 2nd Thessalonians 1:8 warns that God Himself will take out His vengeance upon all Christ-rejecters.
2nd Thessalonians 1:8-9, “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.”
John Carpenter is infamous for horror films; such as, Halloween, The Fog, The Thing, In The Mouth Of Madness and The Prince Of Darkness. Arguably Halloween (starring fictional character, Michael Myers—a crazed lunatic mass-murder who kills everybody) is Carpenter's most popular work, which has started a cultural trend during the sinful Halloween holiday season and on television. At first I thought John Carpenter was blasphemous against God until I saw Stephen King's works of darkness; such as, The Mist (clearly the film was intended to piggyback financially off of Carpenter's The Fog). Stephen King is a scary man, whereas John Carpenter produces scary movies. Both men blaspheme the Lord Jesus Christ in their films, and both men are professed atheists, although I would consider Carpenter more of an agnostic, since he is not sure if God exists or not. Isaiah 9:2, “The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.”
Only a person who is blinded by Satan fails to see God in the universe. Again, Romans 1:20 plainly teaches, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.” This Bible verse teaches in effect that there is NO SUCH THING as an atheist!!! There are men, women and youth who deny the existence of God, but the Bible tells us that they only do so “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [acknowledged] him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened” (Romans 1:21). Without God the heart can only become dark. Oh, how the world is in darkness without the light of our Savior, Creator and God—JESUS CHRIST!!!
Repent And Believe To Be Saved
Proverbs 14:34, “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.”
Mark 1:15: “...repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
"Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." —John 5:39
