    All of the smoking was a real turn off. I don't care how hot you are if you light up I'm done! That's my only over the top pet peeve. Overall the movie was pretty good though.

    For some reason porn has never appealed to me. I guess I kind of regard those who do enjoy it in the same manner as I viewed the kid nobody liked, who always watched through the window and told on the other kids when they did something wrong, a person who was sleazy and unbecoming.

    I do recall that at every Promise Keepers conference I attended there was always a presentation aimed at getting Christian men to quit watching porn. To me, that served as a reminder that we are ALL fallen sinners saved by Grace.

    Since you kind of glossed over this statement In terms of the Gospel, I would be more concerned about the violence culminating in unneeded death I have to ask, which is the more severe sin, lesbianism, or homicide?
    To answer your question, actual murder is worse than lesbianism. But no real murders took place, but real lesbianism did take place now didn't it. The issue isn't that this piece of crap movie portrays naughty things, but you as a supposed "Christian" find smoking more of a problem than lesbianism.

    Might want to check out a few "pre code" films starting with "Sign of the Cross" 1932.
    I'm vaguely aware that movies from the 20's and 30's had quite a bit of sexuality, but now days this sort of thing is interjected more and more and more. There's a agenda to normalize this stuff, and that's really a shame for a guy who thinks like me. Evidently, for the rest of you the more the better.

    I think she also wore a wool/linen blend, had a tattoo, and touched a lizard.

    Is this some sort of vague reference to alleged biblical prohibitions?

    Thought it was ok. Not worth the theater $$. It's hard to believe I'm saying that given the Charlize Theron nudity, lesbian scene and fight scenes. Seems to describe some kind of trifecta for sure, but it just wasnt put together well IMO. The story line had huge potential, but the action and sex seemed to detract from it instead of help. No idea about the book or graphic novel, so it may be very true to those.

    Lesbianism is not a problem for me, it is a problem for the participants and God.

    If you actually read with comprehension of context, I never intimated that smoking was less or more of a problem than lesbianism, that was your twist.

    We are all fallen sinners, "Supposed Christians" such as me, and "Sanctimonious Christians" such as yourself.

    The Pharisees delighted in pointing out the transgressions of the Mosaic Law by other Jews, and their obedience of those laws, how were they perceived by the Savior?

    I believe you are sincere, but IMO your approach drives more folks away from Christ than it draws closer to Christ.

    You are right about this. The story was worthy and had a lot of potential to be a classic spy thriller. Unfortunately, the story took a back seat to action of one sort or another.
    The whole idea of the identities of multiple double agents being exposed when the wall came down was true. More than a few of the folks working both sides were exposed.

    Heard it all before. OOOOOOOOOOO you're a Pharisee. Usually spoken by people who have been caught up in a sin and it's become public. Quick, shoot that messenger before he can help me. I actually asked you IF the lesbianism did bother you, I made no accusation. I hate to be the one to point this out to you, but the Lord accused a few people, not just the Pharisees of sin.......like His own disciples, multiple times. The sad thing about this conversation with you is that it reveals a lot about how you view sin.....lesbianism may bother God....but not you. IF it bothers God, shouldn't it bother His children, in fact the bible teaches we should hate sin, in ourselves and in others. As for driving people away. yep the truth can do that......how many did Jesus drive away with the truth, answer...more than a few, but then again a man who has been crushed by his sin, that man just might hear and believe. You have no idea who has been driven away or who has been attracted now do ya'. Wake up man, before the world, the flesh and the devil crushes you.
