You may occasionally need http://www.dictionary.com for this thought-provoking critique of how to do critiques Christian'ly:- :roll:

Punchline for me ain't even in there - it's as in Acts 17 - always ask God how whatever you watch/listen to compares with His Word & what He wants to say to you & others

Also not in there is the principle of looking for 'redemption analogies'

Many a screenwriter has no idea what the Bible says, but as Almighty God led world-ruling pagan emperors to do what fits His purposes, so also He fulfils His promise to take even what the enemy of souls throws at us to try & destroy us, & God instead turns it to our good

Many writers & film-makers echo what the Bible says @ Bible prophets - they themselves long to know the meaning of what they wrote & said: 21st century man is a lost soul, searching for purpose & meaning within his/her own mind, heart & soul, let alone 'nations in perplexity..men's hearts fainting for fear as they see calamities coming upon Earth'

As Isaiah said, 'Great darkness covers the earth & gross darkness the people'

'Arise, shine, for your light has come & the glory of the Lord has risen upon you'

Let the Light of the World shine thru you to illuminate your loved ones' way out of the darkness into His marvellous light

I'd planned only to post the link, but the plain-talking UK Northerner in me doesn't like to think of folk struggling thru the fog of intellectual academia - (better described in both Romans 1:18-32 & 1 Corinthians 1:18-24 ) :wink:

God bless!
