Irony In Christian Perspectives On Movies

LINK
Click on the link above to visit the movie section of www.christiananswers.net.

Most sites of this type strike me as being overly hypocritical. These Christian movie critics see all types of movies so they can inform you precisely why Christians shouldn't be watching movies. This site is no exception, but the irony doesn't slap you in the face quite as often.

I'm actually favorably impressed by the original content on the site. To find extreme examples of irony here, I had to look at the comments made by some of the people who have visited the site. A couple of those really stood out to me.

One 26-year-old woman says she took her six children (count 'em...that's SIX kids) ranging in age from six MONTHS to six YEARS to see March Of The Penguins. She was disgusted to find it was a documentary rather than a cute movie about penguins.

First of all, what idiot parent takes their highly impressionable small children to a movie without researching it first? (HINT: All G rated movies aren't aimed at kids.) Secondly, what idiot thinks it's appropriate to take a baby (or in this case, babies plural) to ANY movie? She further confuses us by saying it wasn't her choice to take her herd along. Who is making this woman's choices on her behalf?

In a similar vein, another man said he took his son to see Harry Potter. As a result, the boy became demon possessed by acting out the fantasy of trying to ride a broom and ultimately breaking both his legs after jumping off a roof. Now the child doesn't want to go to church. Of course, the father himself is in no way responsible for his son's behavior. This movie and demons are to blame for his lack of authority.

Visit the site and see what you think. It's pretty informative about movies from a Christian viewpoint even if you aren't like me...looking for irony wherever I can find it. :o)
