This is taken from a genuine review of the movie Zombieland, starring Woody Harrelson.

 

I believe it’s safe to say that all movies contain sin, as does the world. However, films like “Zombieland” simply glorify sin for what it actually is and offer absolutely no redemption or moral lesson. It is what it is: a film that pushes the boundary of human acceptance for the sake of entertainment. The more filmmakers push the boundaries, the more insensitive people become. It’s a wise-marketing strategy and easy money. In Ephesians 4:18-19, Paul describes why nonbelievers would purchase tickets to films like these:

 

“They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality, so as to indulge in every kind of impurity with a continual lust for more.”

 

However, sadly several Christians I know enjoyed this film; I even laughed at times I should not have. We cannot be a light for Christ if we are laughing along with the world. In the same chapter of Ephesians, Christians are commanded to “…not grieve the Holy Spirit of God.” The Holy Spirit should not be forced to grieve over this pointless filth. Most people know that Jesus commanded us to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” In loving Him, we should attempt to keep our minds clean. Seeing films of this nature, requires a Christian to do the opposite of loving God. In 1 Corinthians 13:6, Paul wrote, “love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.” We should keep this definition of love within our hearts and not rejoice when humor is used to make evil a pleasure to watch.

Meh, it's a hard right Christian website, it's not a surprise in the slightest they're talking drivel. I've not looked at the site but I'd happily put money on their "answer" to the origin of Man having nothing to do with Darwin.

What a load of bullshit.

 

I'm not an Atheist, I believe that there is some kind of Intelligent design to the universe.

If it turns out to be some old bastard sitting on a golden throne then after my death I will challenge him to a barbed wire covered, flaming rope, broken glass covered turnbuckles, exploding ring death match where I fully intend on kicking him in the nuts repeatedly before hitting him with every move in my TWOStars characters move set.

 

Twice.

 

I don't know why, but as soon as I saw that the article was credited to Christian answers I burst out laughing.

Don't ask me why, I don't understand anything I do these days.

Oh Christians...

 

Thing is though, doesn't the Bible specifically say that zombies are real and WILL happen though? The apocolypse and all, with the non-Christian dead rising from the grave to fight for the army of Satan and stuff. Surely you could say that Zombieland is about people trying to survive the coming of the anti-Christ, and is, thus, prophetic and educational.

 

But, I guess, that would require logic, and if they had that, they wouldn't believe in God in the first place.

Yeah, but sometimes logic can be a bigger head-f*ck than faith. I mean, for example, it's taken as a scientific fact that the universe (which is everything we know to exist) is expanding. Now, logically, if it's expanding, then there must be some area of non-universe for it to expand into, but if all that exists is the universe, then there is nothing for it to expand into, meaning it's a paradox.

 

Also, if the universe is expanding, then it has a limited mass, meaning it has a point where, if you travelled far enough, you'd reach it's edge (a border, if you will). What's on the other side of that edge?

 

Sometimes faith can be more logical than science (which, in its own way, is a form of faith)... but that doesn't stop this review being hilariously awful and misguided. :lol

Yes that is the classic old paradox there DC. The thoughts that the universe is either infinite or finite can both be argued to be equally illogical.

 

But zombies are the shit. It's a glorious social metaphor about conformity and blind faith and so on, and I'm really pleased that the genre has taken off soo far. Zombieland was a killer ****in movie.

 

indulge in every kind of impurity with a continual lust for more

God damn, that's a bit of poetry right there.

 

“love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” In loving Him, we should attempt to keep our minds clean.

But I genuinely have no ****ing clue how they got from point A to point B right there. I know they're full of shit. We all know that. But can someone tyr an clue me in on the twisted logic they're using right there? I can't wrap my head around that one. It's like they say one thing then pull something else completely out of their asses, but use a few of the same words between the two unrelated statements.

which, in its own way, is a form of faith

 

I agree with this, I have this debate with my friend all the time when he talks about mulit-verse. I am like but you can't prove it. He is like but the in the maths it must exisit, but unless you can actually imperically prove it sure its faith, your faith in the maths how that is different to god?

Because with math you can double check your answers? But god just IS... and that's simply hear-say based on a 2,000th-hand account.

But math with out substance is meaningless

What're you talking about, Jay? 2 + 2 is still 4 regardless of whether you're actually counting something real or not. And if we're talking about astro-physics as it seems to be gravitating towards, then it's far from being math without substance.

Hearsay, dude. Just hearsay. But what I was saying is that you can't double check the existence of god.

but you our counting, you not trying to prove something which no one can prove other in maths, 2+2 can be proven just get 2 apples and 2 oranges and count them. prove to me that there are parrell universes, you cannot hence it's an act of faith in that the maths os correct.

prove to me that there are parrell universes

Prove to me that there's not. ;)

 

Seriously though, with things like this or alien life, those who claim they don't exist can never be proven right. Transversely, those who, for example, believe in alien life, might one day prove they were right simply by having an officially documented encounter with an ET.

That doesn't make sense in theory you could prove there are no aliens in the same way you can prove it but checking every planet. its the same as god an act of faith

 

Prove to me that there's not

 

But that is the point you can't prove one way or another

That doesn't make sense in theory you could prove there are no aliens in the same way you can prove it but checking every planet.

Who says they'd live on planets?

 

It makes sense simply because you don't have the capabilities to search every millimetre of the universe for alien life and even if you did, by the time you searched a section "over here," and then travelled across to the other side of the universe, who's to say alien life wouldn't have evolved in the area you checked a couple of hundred (thousand?) years prior. Hence, you could never prove it because you could never check all of the universe at the same time.

 

On the flip-side, to prove that aliens do exist, we don't have to go anywhere; all we need to do is wait for one to come to us.

but even if they don't it doesn't mean they don't exist

So now we've moved onto string theory and life off of earth?

 

Why don't you go ask a professor about something like that. I just watched a Nova doc about string theory and I barely understand it. But I got enough to understand that you can track particles in a collidor and watch them disappear... not break down, but disappear entirely. Since that doesn't make sense it's evidense that they've been passed into another dimension. Not proof, mind you, but evidence.

 

Now... do you have evidence to argue against that?

There is evidence for Jesus doesn't mean he exists. the truth is they have a theory, a bit like the world was flat or the sun flies around the earth based on what they can see, it doesn't mean it true.

 

Besides if something disappears all it means is that it has disappear to machine that we have built to track it, it doesn't mean it has actually disappearred maybe its just reduced in size or become so natural that it doesn'r effect other things. You see we don't actually seem them we see there effect of ofther things maybe it merely stops having a effect on anything else.

 

anyways it's faith to believe in that theory as it is in any theory that isn't fact

Ergh, I wish my laptop wasn't broken, because I can't be bothered to type big long answers, so you'll have to bear with me until I get to a computer, but the idea of God as a moral figure with powers and influence and sentience and self awareness (rather than just an abstract thing that created the world) is very easy to disprove, or at least prove so unlikely that believing in it without evidence is completely pointless.

 

Mathmatically, aliens almost certainly exist, have existed, or will exist, just because of the laws of infinite probability. Doesn't mean they've been to Earth, or even know we exist, but the odds are very much in the favour of Earth not being the only populated planet. It's the same as the mathematical proverb that a monkey with a typewriter, given an infinite amount of time, will type the entire works of Shakespeare, in order, with no mistakes.

No theory is a fact, Jay. As soon as something becomes a fact, it ceases to be a theory due to the very nature of what theory means.

that is what i said
