Your criticisms and critique is most welcome. My opinions were far from the truth -- as you pointed out.

And I applaud what you wrote -- you were factual and giving some good insights.

The only problem is that when I was growing up, movies and TV had a moral influence on me.

Of the older generation, many good Christians may have seen Love is a Many Splendid Thing with William Holden and Jennifer Jones. One couple I know did not realize that this was really about a married man having an affair with a single woman.

That means -- for Christians and Jews -- it is all about adultery.

In that 1950's movie, Hollywood twisted the plot to justify the adultery.

You have pointed out that Million Dollar Baby would not be like that -- but that was my original concern.

Some people are today deceived by the god of the TV or the god of movies -- even if they strongly believe in going to church on Sundays and believe they live a Christian life.

The analogy is Catholics believing in what Senator Ted Kennedy believes on abortion or Senator John Kerry -- versus what the Catholic church and its leaders are clearly telling Catholics.

Thank you for your post.

If you are harsh on me, I don't mind -- which I don't think you were. You were more upset with how Freepers often react to things.

God bless!

I WAS too hard on you, topher. Apologies. Your response is measured and classy. How I love disagreeing with Freepers! God bless, good night. (And prayers for Teri, I hope I never suggested anything other than that.)
