I can't resist a further comment. Mary, you are right, I agree in that context.
Michelle, your point is well taken, too. That is why art is so different than faith, in my view. Faith is not "whatever you can get away with." My faith has some very very specific definitions, unlike art. My faith is totally defined and expressed in the person of Jesus, made real in our lives and revealed by the Holy Spirit.
However, I am tolerant of other people's faith, and art. That is what I love about America. All faiths can thrive here, and are protected. All Christians are not part of the KKK, as you insinuated by your burning cross comment, Jim.
And speaking of judges, I don't condemn as "evil" other art forms. I don't condemn people who are not believers, either. It is not my Gospel, and I am not the Judge.
If anyone wants to continue this discussion in some other venue, you are welcome to private message me. I am happy to discuss my faith or yours on-line, or off-line if the moderator prefers.
