Once again, I am not opposed to watching something that is fantasy based or even violent or with " evil " characters. But I do see a difference in movies in how they portray the purpose for the violence and evil. My wife is not a Christian and she gets me to watch all kinds of movies that I personally wouldn't have chosen to watch for myself. But usually after its over I mostly find myself thinking I just watched garbage and wasted two hours. And also we would have been better off spending those two hours doing something else.

Sorry if this is too personal, but I'm actually surprised that you're so corrective of other's beliefs here when it sounds like you could use some fixing up around your own house.

You've also got to look at the intent. For example, one of my favorite non-metal artists frequently sings about murder, bodily dismemberment/mutilation, incurable diseases, and the like. That artist?

Weird Al Yankovic.

No need to be sorry, I really don't mind it if people express their opinions in regards to what I share. But I'm not quite sure what you are referring to in regards to what I have to " fix " ? That my wife is not a Christian ? That I may be compromising my beliefs for my wife ? At any rate, I see this as a sanctification issue with me - Christian living and holiness. But I think I can work on these things as I live my life out in this body while at the same time pointing to the truth of the Gospel. I am merely presenting a Gospel, A Christ, a view of the Bible, A view of false teachers, etc. People can agree or disagree. Accept or reject. Contemplate and consider with a open mind.

I was alluding to both.

We all do the best we can with what we have. We all have issues we need to sort out to get closer to God.
More than just the household issues, I was referring to the combination of that, and how you interact with others here.

Specifically, do you correct her like you do "us"? If not, why do it just to us?
If you correct her the same way as you do others beliefs here, then how does she put up with it?

Those are the perplexing questions for me, but we don't need to discuss or derail this thread about that.

Lol, you guys really over think things too much.

S6......Thomas.......if you wanna have this particular discussion , please take it to PM.......

Will do.

The reigning gods of black metal IMO.
