Isn't it sad to think that you can't even enjoy one of your favorite actors anymore because they are performing in a moving that thows blasphemy words, cursing God and Jesus around just to make the bucks.

Can you imagine how much we've hindered the movie industry alrady by not going to movies that encourage this type of garbage and vieing to purchase movies or purchaning them on satallite where YOU can control what you and your family watch. Also, you can get behind forums as this one or organization like "AFA", and get information on their latest fights against the government beaurocracy that is allowing this type of profanity, blasphemy and vulgarity..TOGETHER WE CAN DO ANYTHING.....in JESUS' NAME.

Technically speaking "God" is not God's name. Just to note, though, I despite the phrase to which you are referring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something that is not just in the movies, but when you witness to a sinner, do they not use blasphemous words? It is something we have to get use to in one way, but try to avoid in another. It'll just get worst as time rolls on ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking the Lord's name in vain is different (though still sinful) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
