If more Christians took action, as you did, there would be considerably less slime in the media.<BR/><BR/>Patrick Hare makes a good point that it is best to protest graciously because it is more likely to get results. But I think his concern about the Puritanical streak in Christianity is irrelevant to contemporary culture. Are the prudish Christians running amok? Hardly. The problem is, as Hare otherwise alludes, that Christians are watching Fox without protest, and shrugging off illicit advertising without complaint. I’m a Catholic, but I say, “Give us more Puritans!” <BR/><BR/>The Song of Solomon surely is erotic, but it was recited at WEDDINGS, in celebration of the sacred physical bond and the fertility of marriage. When the Puritanical Christians take to protesting a billboard advertisement for baby cribs because a curvaceous lassie in her bridal gown is giving her lad a “come-hither” look, then I’ll be on your side, Mr. Hare. Until then, I’m with the Puritans.<BR/><BR/>Western culture (especially in Europe) is in decay, and if Christians don’t combat the rot, the radical Muslims will surely fill the vacuum. And those neo-Ayatollahs will make the Puritans look like Hugh Hefner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
