Sinophobia does exist, it means Anti-Chinese. So if you're indeed sinophobic, it means you're " only" racist towards Asians. I can't believe that's a thing, as in a phobia. Is there a phobia for every absurd so-called fear? Just for the heck of it I looked to see if there's a phobia of vegetables that kids can use as an excuse not to eat them. Yep, there is -- lachanophobia. So Kirk and his friend say they are anti-Chinese, but they really mean they are anti-sin and to make matters worse they use "phobia" in the word, which implies that they are experiencing an irrational fear. Couple of geniuses they are.

Seriously. If you are scared of sin, how do you emphasize and relate to sinners? I mean, that's part of saving someone right? If someone is scared of sin... That's like a surgeon who is afraid of blood or a tattoo artist who is scored of needles.
ETA: dang, hamartophobia is alarmingly close to Hamatron. I came up with my handle at a bowling alley where I combined hamster and jumbotron for my username.

I wonder about Kirk...does anybody get the impression something bad happened to him? He was an atheist until sudden conversion at 17. I wonder if he suffered a traumatic event. Reading that link in the Bryan Singer thread about the documentary "Open Secret" reminded me how much less protected child stars were during the height of his fame. Something just doesn't add up. Now, granted I've never read anything to corroborate my suspicions but I just get a vibe that something really bad went down with him.

He had stalkers, big time, when he was a teenager. If I remember correctly, they had to heighten security and add metal detectors at the Growing Pains tapings because the powers that be were truly afraid some psycho would try to hurt or kill him. They talked about it on an E! True Hollywood Story or some show like that.

I don't know what happened to him, but I wonder how he managed to suck his siblings in along with him (his other non-Candace sister is in his crappy Christmas movie).

I wonder about his wife.
In one of the links I saw her name... and all it said was she has been mysteriously silent, for awhile...

Kirk is just...UGH. As a Christian, reading that he's "afraid of sin" just irritates me. What a hypocrite! He is exactly the type of person that Jesus forewarned his disciples and followers about. You are not supposed to be afraid or "anti-sin", for there is no such thing as living a sinless life. There was only one that did so and Kirk Cameron is not he. Not to mention the fact that Jesus preached over and over and over again "Do not be afraid" when it came to fear, sin, etc. If you have Christ in your life and he's your Savior, then why are you afraid? Seriously, if one is a true believer, this particular thought would never cross your mind and your spirit would seek guidance in the Lord. /end sermon I get preachy about it because this is exactly what a pastor or minster would say to Kirkles. For him to act like this is a total back-handed slap to the faith. And yes, Jesus would be angry for what he's trying to tell the world. He'd be tossing the set of this "film" like he did in the temples for selling their "goods". (at least I'd like to think so!)
