We're in a spiritual war. This war is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual powers of Satan and his demons (Eph. 6:12). For most Christians it's a little hard to get worked up about this war, since we don't have the threat of real bullets zinging past our heads every day. But wait, there are real bullets being aimed at us! Did you ever stop to think that the immorality and false ideas of much of today's entertainment media are the ammunition in this war?

"Let me see. You're gonna be fine son. Your vest stopped most of the subliminal sodomite propaganda and your faith only suffered a minor trauma. Now pick up your remote control and get back in there soldier!"
Grand Theft Auto IV is out today. And its still less disgusting than the bible.

Still not quite as effective as a 7.62 round to the chest though is it?

Did I think that freedom of speech and thought is like a bullet or a bomb, literally or metaphorically? Um, no, as matter of fact. I did not.

Maybe there's hope after all.

HOW DID HE KNOW??!?

A lot of the entertainment media actually promote strong morality (e.g., honesty, forgiveness, the Golden Rule), and some of it -- though admittedly not nearly enough -- tries to promote factual reality (e.g., Mythbusters, Penn & Teller, old documentary series such as Connections and Cosmos ).
Compare that with the immorality (e.g., oppression of gays, women, and atheists) and false ideas (e.g., creationism, historical revisionism, the Rapture) that YOU people use for ammunition. In other words, you are only making a case against YOURSELF.

I see more harm come from religion than from the media. The Bible is chock full of incest, rape, pillaging, a god who seems to hate others, blessing those who sack cities and villages, stoning people to death.
@freako104: Between porn and MMOs, the Internet offers the same thing.
But yeah, entertainment media has dealt with louder, more powerful fucktards decrying it more fiercely than this dude could ever dream of doing. Just shut up already, Al.
What's the latest scouting report on Satan and his demons? Have they advanced any nearer to our position during the night? Do you think they'll attack us soon?
----No sir, there's no sign of them anywhere. I think they've all buggered off back to hell. It's safe now.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
