Kirk Cameron was a scum bag once he became Born Again.

If Kirk Cameron wanted to convert to a religion that would give him a boost in his career, he could have chosen Scientology.

Would you like him better if he had a reputation for sexually harassing women?

Are you suggesting Julie’s career was permanently damaged by Kirk having her fired? She’s had plenty of acting credits following her departure from GP.

Nope. He's said that if one of his kids was gay, he'd disown him/her. Super dad!

It appears that TMC was simply stating a fact. You are the one speculating.

That's not even close to what Paul said or even implied. You have a twisted imagination and a serious chip on your shoulder.

what if Kirk Cameron converts to Rastafarianism during Growing Pains?

The biggest mistakes Kirk made, in my opinion, was not following his sister’s example in embracing the sweetness of Christianity. And his movie “Saving Christmas ” promoted the “God wants you to be rich” trope.

Most Christians would say they would "do no harm" but Kirk Cameron has hurt a lot of people.

"Heaven?!

What on Earth made you think you were in *Heaven*, Mister Cameron?

This *is* the Other Place!

Supposedly, there were plans to go to Europe and shoot a few episodes over there. It would've basically, been a free vacation for everyone involved. But Kirk refused to go because it meant that he would miss church and he needed to keep the sabbath Holy. Even though it was pointed out to Kirk that Europe had many churches, he told everyone that he could/would only go to his church. So because of this, they had to cut that whole story and nobody got to go to Europe.

The Gold sisters (apart from Tracey stabbing Judith Barsi in the back by going on that fake TV medium show) are far better than Kirk and Candy.

Season 3, Episode 5 ("Michaelgate") was depending on who you ask, the beginning of the end for the Growing Pains show. Basically, that episode featured Leanna Creel (who would later play Tori Scott on Saved by the Bell) in a guest starring role. Leanna would soon start dating Kirk Cameron from 1987-89. She has been credited as the individual who first introduced Kirk to Christianity (which later led Kirk to become a born again evangelical). Before meeting Leanna, Kirk was raised in a non-religious family was believed to be an atheist.
