I have just watched a video by Ray Comfort (Host of Way of the Master) who interviewed Christian people in Hollywood, asking them different questions, such as if they watched R-rated movies (most of them said yes) and if they went to movies that took God's name in vain even though they knew that it did so (some of them said yes). There were other questions amongst these, but what Ray Comfort was trying to get across is that many movies have lots of blasphemy in them. There are also many Christians who contribute to the movie-watching population (over 70%!!!!!!!!!). Therefore, if blasphemy is against the Ten Commandments, shouldn't we then avoid movies that had curse words and said God's name in vain?
Think about it. If the whole 70% of Christian viewers basically boycotted the movies that said God's name in vain and had curse words, it would radically effect the Hollywood industry (possibly costing millions of dollars). Therefore, Hollywood could start to make movies with less blasphemy. If that is done, then it would effect the American population at large, possibly persuading them to not blaspheme God's name as much.
While we're not trying to force Hollywood out of business, we ARE trying to persuade it to go back to the standard it had up to 1968, which was good language. Can I get an Amen here, people?
Now then, go on over to http://www.hollywoodandgod.com/ by Mr. Comfort himself (I love that last name!) to see what I'm talking about.
And if you want to come back here for refreshments, I'll have a Friday Funny for you! :)
And now, the Friday Funny...............From The Mouths of Children part 2
Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
Puppies still have bad breath even after eating a tic tac.
Never hold a dustbuster and a cat at the same time.
A pencil without an eraser may as well just be a pen.
Sometimes your best move is blocked by your own checkers.
Your room gets smaller as you get bigger.
If a tree had apples last year, don't expect pears this year.
A snow day is more fun than a vacation day.All libraries smell the same.
If you throw a ball at someone, they'll probably throw it back.
Don't nod on the phone.
For the Gospel!
