Being more accepting of viewing violence than sex betrays a cultural bias that God may not share. Oh, and I wanted to give you props for holding the Jesus Geeks feet to the consistency fire.

The sound quality was excellent. Allow me to offer my 15 cents (inflation) on this topic. I find nothing wrong with violence and sex in entertainment. Though I find our culture has backwards attitudes about both - it's okay to show someone get shot in the head but don't you ever, <em>ever</em> consider showing a penis on TV, even in a non-sexual way. Yet almost no one will ever witness a murder of any kind and almost everyone will be exposed to a penis (hell, half of us <em>have</em> one). I guess it's just one of those cultural absurdities. This may reflect my biases. I love sex and hate violence. But I don't think I'm unusual in that aspect. What may make me unusual is that I generally don't like violence in my entertainment. It's part of the reason I see so few movies. Finally, since I don't consider sex between consenting adults a sin, I don't consider most sex for entertainment, including pornography, a sin.
