I'm not encouraging people to see the movie. I'm not condemning them if that's their choice. I've not yet decided whether or not to see the movie, but doubt I will.

I'm more concerned about the sex and violence on TV, even at 8PM. I'm more concerned about about sex in movies that would otherwise be good films for a family to see together, that could just as easily be left out. I think the violence in just about everything in our culture is way out of hand.

But saying a person isn't a Christian if they see a movie that isn't in my taste? No, those are not my calls to make.

Yes, there’s a lot of bad stuff on TV. AND ... this movie is bad. It can be BOTH-AND. It doesn’t have to be either-or.

We should be concerned about both the bad stuff on TV and the bad stuff at the theater. A lot of people are going to see this movie because of people like you, who refuse to take a public stand against such evil.

Oh, and I didn’t say you aren’t a Christian. Read my comment again. What I did is imply that you are a *bad* Christian if you are not discouraging people from spending money to see this movie. About as foolish and immature a follower of Christ as they come.

This is evil. If you don’t stand against it, you are in effect standing for it.
