This is one of the most hilarious forum posts I've seen in a long time.
Let's totally forget that current Christian dogma is a result of centuries of misinterpretation, extrapolition, indoctrination, fear mongering and outright lies. The number of vibrant and enlightened societies that have been crushed, snuffed out and killed by the so called "adherers to the Light of the World" that to take something like Christianity seriously is insanely foolish.
Like Metter said, Horror films and other forms of horror are ways of speaking out against the attrocities we see today in the world, as well as a way to sublimate our natural proclivity for violence and our baser natures.
Not to mention that a number of films that you would call immoral or demonically influenced are alot deeper than you and your ilk would give them credit for. Cannibal Holocaust? On the surface it would seem repugnant and reprehensible, but take a moment, just a moment, to scratch the surface and you'll see it as a very poignant and effective statement on the way that the media is manipulated and turned into pornography for the sake of ratings and bending peoples perspectives to suit and agenda. The Exorcist as well, is at its heart a really moral story, a Christian parable, if you would believe it. William Freidkin himself stated that he saw it as a moral and informed piece of art.
So before you allow people to stuff this bullshit down your throat and indoctrinate and assimilate you into their archaic and antiquated philosophies why don't you use the brain that your supposed God gave you and actually inject some critical thinking into issues before you jump out and judge people for things that y ou clearly don't understand.
Okay, I'm done.
