Guest host Adam McManus [www.AdamMcManus.net] chats with Scott Alan Buss, columnist with www.FireBreathingChristian.com, about actor Charlie Sheen’s explosive interview yesterday morning on NBC’s Today show in which Sheen revealed his 4-year-long, HIV-positive status. Known for his memorable movie roles in “Wall Street” and “Red Dawn”, Sheen became the highest-paid television actor, earning a million dollars per episode for “Two and a Half Men” about the womanizing ways of a reprobate bachelor.
Sheen’s sins seemingly knew no bounds. A $50,000 tab for prostitutes through Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss alone, 200 sexual partners in the last two years, $10 million paid out in blackmail to keep his HIV-status secret, not to mention major drug and alcohol abuse and three marriages and divorces.
But Buss writes that “Sheen is clearly a man under the wrath of God. And he thought he was ‘winning’ something. Kind of like America. We love to view material success as proof of God smiling on us. We love to enjoy our unmatched comfort and ease, flaunting ourselves as a ‘shining city on a hill’ worthy of the adoration of the rest of humanity. And yet we dismiss the detailed commands of Christ when it comes to the way we manage our business, economics, law, civil government, art, education and everything else.” Read his column: http://www.firebreathingchristian.com/archives/11409
