| Have you repented for watching it, Daniel? | I never did watch it. However, I have read about it and seen clips of it on programs (which I swiftly turned off). It is a wicked film; such blasphemy should not be spoken off without horror. God tells us not to set a wicked thing before our eyes; there should not be any question about the propriety of watching such a production. |
Never watched it, huh? That, my friend, is poor research.
PS - I'm not saying I would ever watch TLOB ever again, and I wouldn't commend it to anyone either. I do not consider the film to be a mockery of Christ, though. Perhaps a mockery of Christians - indeed a mockery of many things (which is the Python's raison d'etre). But there you have it. I agree with most of the brothers here, whose tone is that it may be lawful, but it is certainly not expedient. There is no profit in watching it, whatsoever.
