HORROR FILM BEAUTIFUL MOVIE for (sexy! & tops!)

but it opens with some horrific depictions of Christians; Jesus; the Church in general...

and we kept looking at each other..  like, "Oh My God!  -what interpretation of the Bible is any of that behavior from?"   

and we know from history, from books, from movies, and from listening to real life testimonies 

    -there has been (and sadly still is) some horrific, absolutely hideous and evil practices that take place by very fraudulent, highly corrupt, con-artist-Christians..

but just to be certain...   they are frauds.      

i could re-write a million passages/scriptures here, but if we only look at the fruits of the spirit:

love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control...

Colossians 3:12   -chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense.  Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you.  And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-purpose garment.  Never be without it.

                       -you see none of this in the behaviors, decisions, manners of the people who are representing God, Jesus, the Church, the Bible in this movie..

so, i've always kind of acknowledged/understood, that if THAT was your introduction to Jesus, and Christianity          -of course you would curse it, and everything it stands for

but, the frauds do not represent the 'true' Christians          /and notice how often we all need to employ the word 'true'

it goes on and on, 

but worth repeating here...   how often we mistakenly project on to the whole population of a group; the actions of a few; or the actions of the-some

so you can see then, how easy it is to corrupt and intentionally misrepresent a group   -especially mass media

       -corrupt cops do not represent 'cops'

and it is this understanding, throughout life, and applying it in a variety of situations that has allowed me to completely understand and appreciate

the black male wearing a hoodie who kidnapped me at gunpoint    -he does not represent black people

the black males who arm-robbed the bank i was a customer in... who held the gun toward me, and other customers in line     -they did not represent all black people

the puerto rican who...         the middle eastern man who..           the mexican girls who...

i say it so often in conversations, i can tell people are little tired of hearing it, but

CONTENT OF CHARACTER PEOPLE!! not race, or skin color, or political affiliation, or education

and, so, even when watching this movie..    i realize, they are not representing the entire population of "Indians"

and the mean racist fans do not represent all sports fans...

on and on, etc., etc,           

but on the whole..    an engaging, enlightening and inspiring movie.
