American society has elevated celebrity entertainers to idols.
Actors, musicians, atheletes, supermodels, and comedians
are are the role models for the masses.
Seems like the fall of the Roman empire.

BILD: How would you rate your film if you were a critic?
Brad Pitt: “Lots of fun! I’m happy with it, because all the actors are great. Each one is a mini star!”
BILD: What does your wife Angelina Jolie think?
Brad Pitt: “She really likes it. She laughed a lot.”
BILD: You play an American soldier who scalps Nazi’s in a hit team and finally kills Hitler.
Brad Pitt: “Yes there’s a lot going on in the movie, we had lots of fun. You have some great actors in Germany.”
BILD: Who is the real Brad Pitt?
Brad Pitt: He is sitting right in front of you. There’s nothing else.
BILD: Are you still a big kid?
Brad Pitt: “No I’m not a kid anymore – I have six children.” Maddox (7), Pax (5), Zahara (4), Shiloh (3), and the twins Vivien & Knox (1).
BILD: Have you found happiness in life?
Brad Pitt (nodding): Hm – yes. I am on the path I want to be on.”
BILD: Do you believe in God?
Brad Pitt (smiling): “No, no, no!”
BILD: Is your soul spiritual?
Brad Pitt: “No, no, no! I’m probably 20 per cent atheist and 80 per cent agnostic. I don’t think anyone really knows. You’ll either find out or not when you get there, until then there’s no point thinking about it.
BILD: Are you scared of ageing?
Brad Pitt (smirking): The grey hairs on his beard glisten: “No I like it. I think it’s good.”
BILD: What is your typical day as a dad?
Brad Pitt: “I get going early, make breakfast, get the kids dressed, brush their teeth and take them to school. Angelina is working at the moment. We take turns.”
BILD: Angelina told me once about your giant bed where all eight of you snuggle up?
Brad Pitt: “Yes we have a 3 metre wide bed, but even that isn’t big enough. They all come crawling in in the morning. It’s just about surviving! We all have sleep deprivation."
BILD: Do you find the time to make love?
Brad Pitt (looks puzzled): What?
BILD: Is it sometimes just the two of you?
Brad Pitt: “Yes we make time for ourselves. It’s very important for every relationship.”

BILD: Do you believe in God?
Brad Pitt (smiling): “No, no, no!”
BILD: Is your soul spiritual?
Brad Pitt: “No, no, no!
Ask him that again when he’s lying on his death bed.
Were it not for St. Thomas Aquinas’s proofs, the fact that morons like Brad Pitt are able to become millionaires would cause me to question God’s existence myself.
Be praying for Brad that he does understand there is a God that created him and that loves him and that send His one and only son, Jesus, to die on the cross for his sins.
I hope he comes to that realization before he passes away and stands in front of Almighty God on judgment day.
Really, who cares what some vapid, dipstick “actor” believes?
God is the flying spaghetti monster.
"And Jesus said to him, "Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." - Mark 14:30
There's no point in thinking about it?
How does he not look up at the stars at night and not think about it?!
Has he ever been to a funeral?
Good grief!
Sadly, it's obvious. So many gifts given, so many gone unthanked. So, lift your heads America, those of you who are not as beautiful, not as lucky, but who remain faithful. You're paying ahead for the glorified body and crowns of victory. After that, we'll get to hear how it worked out for Brad.
Brad Pitt grew up in Springfield Mo. He was raised as a conservative and in the Southern Baptist Church. His brother is a minister of the Assemblies of God Church. Not sure what happened. Perhaps he was dropped on his head at some point.
Or maybe he just want to justify his lifestyle....
Or maybe he’s right.
“Or maybe he just want to justify his lifestyle....”
Having six children, the following should be pretty obvious.
1. With that many kids, how could you not at least begin to believe.
2. With that many kids, he ain’t got much of a lifestyle.
There’s still a chance for him though. Being “80% agnostic”, it’s an acknowledgement of the probability God, else he wouldn’t have set agnosticism against non-belief. Sounds to me that he’s undecided, which is not unusual.
Some people just need more time than others. Give him a few more years with that pod of kids and I suspect he’s got a good chance of coming around. Faith is slow to come sometimes.
I have 6 kids and if I didn’t believe in God I would never make it out of bed each morning. I don’t understand how you can see a child born and not believe. I guess when you have that much money life is much easier??
Pitt & Jolie bought their kids, no birthing involved.
i think she squeezed out the batch of twins from her own uterus.
While I think he is definitely not very bright, we all think differently over time. I don’t see the problem with people believing differently as they age.
Dang, I must be behind in my tabloid reading!
He must be different than you.
what the heck do you do while waiting in the grocery store line?
Whoa, where’d that come from? I don’t think you’re supposed to say stuff like that here.
i agree, i was a pro-abort liberal dem in my youth. but once i was pregnant with my first child, there was no denying that i had life within me and i could never imagine being pro-abort once you have felt that.
Many people here, don’t think it’s proper to be able to change one’s thinking.
As long as they believe before they stop aging.
just as many people here HAVE changed their thinking to become conservatives.
Cuss audibly at the magazine covers.
“I guess when you have that much money life is much easier??”
Nah. Like Gump said, “It’s just one less thing to worry about”. Big difference between “enough” money and “lotsa’” money (knowing the difference is called wisdom). “Lotsa’” is a lot of trouble. If you ever reach the “lotsa’” level you realize that it is a significant burden and most folks aren’t up to managing it effectively (it’s a talent that few are blessed with). It certainly does not improve your life much over “enough” (just my opinion).
Still, for those that are blessed with the talent for acquiring wealth and the ability to manage it properly, “lotsa’” can be used as a great blessing for those that you are able to touch.
OMG did you see the one that said OBama could improve your sex life? it was called DETAILS, probably some fruity men’s mag, i am not sure. i literally howled out loud in the store.
Probably something valid in that.
He has screwed the whole nation after all.
“That’s because Pitt’s “children” are bought, not born.”
Doesn’t matter what gate the calf came out of. It’s still his calf.
well there is that. and non-stop to boot.
You probably meant to say...’as long as they believe the right way, before they stop aging’.
Yes, but it seems if people change their thinking to something other than conservatism, that’s not OK.
He believes in a god. Himself.
since i consider conservatism the more enlightened state of being, i would have to agree that there is something amiss if you regress to a more liberal stance. i was raised in a blue collar union dem household, my parents were kneejerk dems, there was no thoughtful philosophical basis for their party affiliation and they had no ideology. my kids are being raised in a household where we talk about every issue and we have a sound, educated moral philosophy. anything is possible, but once you are THINKING rather than FEELING, i don’t see how an educated/informed conservative changes to a liberal.
I guess not everyone thinks the same.
under what sort of scenario do you see an educated/informed conservative, who truly understands conservative principles, becoming a liberal?
Just like not everyone has the same life experiences. There are many factors that set someone’s beliefs.
I don't know how being raped by these idiots (metaphorically) could be considered a sex life improvement.
Hell there ain't even a reach around!
i wish i could find the cover with that title on it, so i could post it. it was mindboggling. i saw it in June, so no luck.
There is only one right way. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, but by me."
You can freely choose to believe that or not. The risk/consequence is yours for eternity.
It is a shame he does not know who create him! Such ignorance!
No wonder he voted and campaigned for Obama. Too bad, too sad to be raising kids agnostic and atheist.
No particular scenario, just a general observation over the years.
I agree.
“Brad Pitt grew up in Springfield Mo. He was raised as a conservative and in the Southern Baptist Church. His brother is a minister of the Assemblies of God Church. Not sure what happened. Perhaps he was dropped on his head at some point.”
Brad left home young to pursue acting and Hollywood. Explains a lot....you are who you associate with!
As I said.
