To: the tongue

You have a pretty strong reaction to see someone else’s opinion expressed at a website as making them a busy body or interfering with your life.

Christians are admonished to seek out the good and avoid the bad:

1 Thessalonians 5

19Do not put out the Spirit’s fire; 20do not treat prophecies with contempt. 21Test everything. Hold on to the good. 22Avoid every kind of evil.

Yes, but hasn’t this been taken to extremes? I mean, there was a lot of dustup about the Harry Potter books and films, and some have even condemned Oz materials because of the “good” witches in them.

When the answer is ambiguous, I like to go in and see for myself so I’m informed about the thing beyond hearsay. You’re entitled to your approach, however.

Reality check; this leads to the Christian right protesting the movie, blocking movie theaters. It’s art, Junior, lets not have it go that far.
