Wow, but I'm sick of that...

Seems like whenever a Christian stands up on their hind legs and says "I'm not going to see this movie/read this book/partake in this particular form of entertainment because it attacks my faith," some friggin' idiot spouts back with "Well, your faith must be pretty weak if it's threatened by entertainment."

Yeah, no. That's not it at all. But that's a nice way to attack my faith further. Bravo. *golf clap*

I have limited entertainment dollars. We all do, right? I am not entertained by movies, books, and music that attack my faith. I'm actively repelled by them, in fact. Therefore, spending those limited entertainment dollars on things I don't find entertaining is stupid. I didn't get where I am financially by being stupid with my money. I don't go see Adam Sandler movies either. Not because I'm "threatened" by him, but because I find him incredibly annoying and dreadfully unfunny.

I would really love to see this ridiculous argument laid to rest once and for all.

This post brought to you by the comments on a review for "Prometheus." Jury's still out as to whether I'm seeing it or not. I will wait for a review from someone I actually trust before committing to go.

One: I have every intention of seeing Prometheus. I can keep a part of my brain alert for attacks on faith and report back to you if you like. (Keep in mind that I'm an atheist, so while I can pay attention, there are certain kinds of attacks on faith to which I may be oblivious.)

As for Adam Sandler... I feel like paying to see an Adam Sandler movie is too much like rewarding bad behavior.

I would much appreciate it, thanks so much. :)
