5. First paragraphs for you.
Are people taking movies too seriously? There's some interesting websites out there that can help a person determing what movies to see. Want more spirtuality? got the website for that. Want less spirituality? Well, people claim there's already TOO MUCH of that!

But let's say you're worried about nudity in movies. Afterall, there's nothing more embarrassing than watching a movie and a little hugging and kissing starts. And as a kid, you can only imagine MY reaction when REAL SEX comes on and I'm watching the movie with my parents. (Of course it's even funnier to watch them blush!)

But are people taking nudity too seriously when they have to RATE THINGS like NUDITY IN STATUES? But Christians have a belief that the word of God talks about not revealing yourself to others and as such they follow the dictums of the Bible:

"While nudity itself is not sinful, display of it is, whether at the Sistine Chapel, the New York Metropolitan Museum, or in Heartbreakers< . God speaks of nudity as shameful many times in both the Old Testament and New and in no case I can find does He provide conditions under which intentional display of nudity is acceptable. He even advised priests to not climb the steps of the altar to avoid letting the wind expose them to the crowd below ....When Jesus changes His Word, I will change our investigation standards."

Funny quote after that, but I know it's not suppose to be copied.
