Books, Films, TV, etc
 |
Sometimes folk express surprise at some of the books I'll
read, or films I'll watch as a professing Christian, too much swearing, too
much immorality or violence. My defence, such as it is, is that in the
books I've enjoyed (and subsequently recommend) the swearing etc is a
relevant part of the story, the characterisation requires it, it's not gratuitous.
These are stories that tell life as it is, no rose tinted version. As
a Christian I see a different way out for these characters and their
problems than the story line will often allow, but these are the
problems that your non-Christian friends and family face and in that sense
it helps to understand their lives and the options that they see. |
