In the specific case of working in a movie theater, you are an accomplice to the moral destruction of human civilization.

Yes, there are some very bad movies, most of them actually, but there are some gems from time to time, such as: "The Gospel of John", "The Passion of Christ", and other lesser-known movies. I really don't see working in a movie theater as being an accomplice to the moral destruction of civilization. What better place would there be to witness to people than a place where many lost people gather? The movie companies and theater chains are going to make profits whether they have moral employees or not, why not make some of their profits go toward good, rather than evil? Jesus was not afraid to be seen with sinners, they were exactly the people who needed to hear his message.

Except that you are not allowed to... company policy.

I wasn't allowed to tell parents it's wrong to take a 4 year old to horror films at 1am. Nor was I allowed to criticize them for making light of his crying and obvious displeasure at what he was being to see. Those parents had money... that is all. Nothing else matters unless they disturb other people who also have money. As my manager once said, "we're not out to enforce morality. We're out to make money."

But would Jesus expedite the worship at the temple of sodomy and perniciousness?
