Do actors sin when they kiss passionately? |
Well, if they really are kissing passionately and aren't married, then yes. If they are pretending to kiss passionately, then no. If they are doing it with the intention of manipulating an audience into bad morals for personal financial gain, then yes. If they are doing this despite knowing that people will be spiritually affected negatively by this, then yes. If they are pretending to kiss passionately in order to later show the audience just how wrong it was morally (the end of the story brought about a good lesson), then no.

In regards to being a responsible man, would it be interesting to learn, after six years of accumulating all the wisdom you could, that you had it right all along when you were 8, and that to be the most responsible of men, one must be the most light-hearted and care-free of boys?
I look at the complexity of the world, and yet see that God is but a Divine Child with simple motives, in that he creates all of this, from atoms to the most complex biological organisms, just because he wants us as his friends.

Thank you everyone for your comments!

Not sure you care, but I took your advice. Honestly, I know how important obedience is, but I'm really not sure God was pleased with it in this instance. The first performance was Shakespeare. Not terrible, but still had to overt my eyes and pray a bit.
The second... there aren't words to describe the crass vulgarity. There is no question Satan had a tremendous hand in it. My head was down for all but about four seconds and my fingers spent the majority of their time in my ears. Without the grace of God, the image of Mary and the Child Jesus in my lap and the Rosary on my lips, there's no way I'd have made it. Still kind of doubt I made the right decision in not leaving though.
But we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good. I'm posting this because I'd really like to ask that in your charity, you all join me in begging and pleading with our Blessed Mother for the conversions of all involved and the triumph of Christ the King. At this rate I think our prayers are the only good thing that can come from my experience.
As St. Augustine so eloquently put it,
| Quote: | Think not, therefore, that the wicked are in this world without a purpose, and that God worketh no good out of them. Every wicked man liveth, either that he may himself be corrected, or that through him some good man may be exercised.
Commentary on the 54th Psalm |
Be exercised my dear friends in Christ!
Happy Feast Day Christ the King!
