Ever wonder what we'd compare righteousness to if we didn't have evil lurking around? There is a time and a season for everything. Some of the best discussions we've had in our home revolved around the problems we see in the media. If we did not educate ourselves on the realistic things going on in our world, we'd be desentised to reality, and unable to cope realistically to the ever present problems.

Simply not knowing often makes Christians look absolutely ridiculous when trying to 'combat' the 'evils' in this world.

The original article Shane posted is from there, and the link at the top of his post will take you there. It's a great resource.

I know for a fact that PG-13 movies now can have at least one "F" word .... That's use to be in R ratings. What's next nudity in PG-13?

Well, the bottom line is, sex & violence sells and Hollywood is out to make money by any means necessary.

As a matter of fact, yes. There can be partial or brief nudity in PG-13. It's a bit difficult to know where the line is. There can also be rather clear sexual situations and activity, and substantial violence, blood and gore. It seems only a rather slim degree of difference in quantity, duration or intensity and some vague difference in context.

Yes, that's what Eve thought...

With all due respect, that is a ridiculous response...

Totally agree....How could Eve know what evil looked like when she had never experienced it before...? Boggles the mind sometimes....Which, I will admit, ain't hard for me...

Olger thanks Tom for his lucid response and sends him a Stalkers for Dummies handbook. Then he goes back to pickin his guitar.

Eve knew what evil looked like because God told her. The problem started when she stopped trusting God. And today, that is where the problem still starts. Not much as changed.
