Default Re: Belly sin...

I have tried to avoid posting on this thread, but I can't hold back any longer...

I am aware of this website - I first encountered it when the first LOTR film came out. (In their criticism, they actually counted how many times Gandalf cast a spell, so they could properly condemn his sorcery.) I frankly find this sort of extreme nitpicking embarassing. It's also illogical. First, given their standards NOTHING would be watchable - I often wonder, 'what would they consider acceptable'? Second, according to their own standards as applied to movies, the Bible itself would be unacceptable (it's full of murders, rapes, mass combat). Third, this sort of massive fingerpointing at non-Christians misses the point of the Christian faith entirely. I seem to recall Christ saying something about removing a plank in one's own eye before going speck-hunting in others'...

Thus endeth the sermon.
