I stared in disbelief at the opening of the article in World (“Today’s News | Christian Views”).
I did a quick search for more beer in the article and in the comments section.
None, that I could see!
I was incredulous. And nigh sick. World?! Tony?! This is their stance?! Wow!
I recently had several men from where I work over to my place, for chili, beer, and a movie. I warned them in advance about the profanity. Not mine, the movie’s. The film we assembled to watch was Glengarry Glen Ross, based on the David Mamet play. I defy anyone to find a film with more profanity per line of dialogue.
I wish I had time to respond substantively to the article and Mr. Woodlief’s premise. 🙁
I don’t, so I won’t.
But this morning I took the time to check again for beer in the comments. It took 52 comments and over 24 hours, but finally someone brought beer to the comments:
Good for you, Mrs. D!
And your choice of verses is excellent also:
“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners” (1 Corinthians 15:33).
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7).
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Philippians 4:8).
All this gives rise to another question: Mark, where are you slipping?
With what deviations from godliness have I become at peace?
Well, here’s the link to the article: Profanity and art.
