Re: Hollywood the cause of killings?

No hollywood is not responsible for this thing. evidence is quite simple. parents can choose not to have cable or watch movies that challenge your faith. The bottom line is you the parents allow things into your home that cause good and bad to happen.
garbage in- garbage out.
healthy intake in-healthy intake goes out.
When I was a kid sometimes the whole family sat around the kitchen table playing a board game or cards.
You have a choice not to bring evil in your home. Hollywood should not be accused of deciding your actions.
accept personal responsiblity.

So this is his parents fault? I think not.

This 'kid' is 24 years old. And while I have 'kids' in their 30s I have to admit that in reality this man is an adult. He made his own choices... We have no idea that his parents ever allowed violent movies. The post above is way off base unless you know this family personally.

We have a son who grew up without TV or movies at all... Now in his fourth year at Texas A&M he has seen every popular show and was at a Batman screening in Houston when this happened.

I have to agree with that statement.

If this guy was born again, he would not be shooting people in movie theatres.

Re: Hollywood the cause of killings?

Well, i might argue that it depends upon
one's model of "born again," which I define
as "change your mind, completely, from the ground up,"
and has little or nothing to do with the current Christian model;
and, wadr, I'll cite your hatred of those of a different monotheistic faith
as an example.

You can call anything "hate" as much as you like.
Just because people are being warned about false religions, which leads to destruction,
does not mean that the fellow posting the warning hates the cult worshipper.
Pulling people out of the fire is not hate.

Letting them end up in the fire without warning them would be "hateful".

But hey, believe what you want.
In the end you will find the truth about what is hate and not hate.


You know what is hateful?

This is hateful:

http://www.mrconservative.com/2012/0...ng-christians/

I have not heard of any muslims getting the death penalty in the good old US of A.
We love them so much, they have freedom of religion in THIS country.
We only WARN them about their eternal destination, and you call THAT hateful?
Get your facts straight!

Ok, I can't watch the vid, but I gather some people who claim to be Christian are going to be hanged by some others who claim to be Muslim. Hateful, no doubt; but one thing that is surely missing there is the Muslim Org's currently lobbying the Iranian Gov--and risking their and their family's lives--for clemency for these Christians.

I note once again that you continue to describe a religion that demands one follow Christ's example as a "cult." See how your "religion" makes it possible for you to be superior in your own mind toward them; and me--kudos for not descending into calling me names, or a dope smoker or whatever, btw, at least not directly. See that the same Spirit obtains; Christ would never, has never proselytized, as you seem to endorse?

What better way to set up a cult, than to promote Original Sin and proselytization into it as being "the way?" If you have ever said, "lost as two boys kissing," then the condemnation comes from your own mouth; how much clearer a def of "accuser" does one need?

One pulls others from the fire by example-
talk is cheap, and I have never witnessed as much empty babbling
as I have around those claiming Christianity.

But hey, believe what you want.

"Fools rush in where angels fear to tread"
Iran makes it crystal clear, to me anyway,
that they do not appreciate proselytizers
in their country (particularly Christian ones; gee, I wonder why); and while I might applaud these
misguided people for their zeal, I find them as ignorant as you would a Muslim moving in next door, and inviting you to "the way" down at the local Islamic center, I forget what they call them. Of course, most Muslims that I have ever met, even the zealous ones, would laugh at the suggestion; with God.

I hope the point is made that all your incorrect, indoctrinated "warning"
becomes moot when you decide that anyone following Christ, but not your version, is in a "cult."

Re: Hollywood the cause of killings?

This is not speaking from a religious point of view, this is speaking from Texas.

Religious hate is evident and easily seen on both sides. Your poisonous words continually reflect it. I will now explain why muslims and other non-christians do not get the death penalty in the good ole US of A, where once non-christians, on occasion, did - as they did in high numbers in Europe (where you are evidently from) before the US of A was established.

The reason that they do not is DEFINITELY not because christians are "better people". The reason that they do not is because the US of A was built and settled by people who were, in very high numbers, victims of extreme religious persecution themselves and set up a fundamental system of laws prohibiting and preventing religious discrimmination of any form. This system of laws is enforced by secular society but the basis for it is protection from christian persecution. These laws, as written, HAPPEN to provide the basis for protection from persecution from any other religion as well, as they should.

The enjoyment of full freedom to practice Islam or Christianity or satanism or any other religion in the good ole US of A is unique only to the US of A and countries who have copied this practice. This first ammendment right is something guarded with extreme prejudice and it is no mistake that the much hated second ammendment followed directly behind it to assure that these rights can be guarded, if necessary, on a very personal basis.

It is foolish (pretty dumb) for the very group that these laws were set up to protect against to sound off as if the net protection afforded by these laws is in any way, shape, or form is somehow derived from the group itself then after somehow deriving credit rather than responsibility for this turn and criticize others who practice what were routine and normalized christian methods of religious persecution as if those who practice them are any different or worse. They are not.

Now your facts, hopefully, are straight.

The same laws that protect this for you and I also protect your right to spew your hateful words. Fortunately for you and for me it ends in words, for both of us, and that is as it should be.
