Uh oh, you used the "c" word... Dannymac Send a noteboard - 08/01/2010 07:47:40 PM
In my opinion, as a Christian, you should have better access to the movies of people with whom you would not agree than anybody. I mean, you have it. The knowledge. No one is perfect, everyone, everything, is tainted by sin in the world. On top of that, you have the victory... the sure knowledge of Christ and his victory. If he is for you, then who could be against you?

Because of that, even if you managed to find a Celebrity who agreed with you on every point, you would know that person is a sinner, and something in the way he portrays himself is wrong. Likewise, you find someone who seems to be against you on every point, you know that because YOU are a sinner, something in the way you view the world is wrong, and so at some point what he is saying may be right.

There is a lot of truth out there, man. And if you limit yourself to only listening to the people you agree with, you're gonna miss a lot of it. There are also a lot of lies out there, but with the armor of Christ around you, the damage they can cause you is pretty darn limited...
