My husband and I have been debating what's okay to watch and not okay to watch. I say we should try to avoid evil.. My example, Yu Gi Oh where there are things like "soul catchers" whatnot, the show just seems over all evil to me. Then I was watching Ella Enchanted. It seems like an over all good movie, though she has a spell cast on her in the story. The way I see it, is you can't avoid all evil, but should try.. But I'm wondering if I really shouldn't even watch that. He basically was like "Well, that has evil in it, so it's just as bad.. Why do you bother me about my shows?"
He has seen what I'm saying, and says he won't watch alot of the same things as he use to (like he use to watch horror flicks that he won't now, and he won't watch Buffy, and other things whatnot..). In general though, from what I've noticed (after my view change) about anime's, is they mostly seem evil. Not to say all anime's are evil, but I don't know them all, and I'm going by what I've seen. Also, Christianity's basically forbidden in Japan. He really likes anime's however.. He also says he doesn't even watch them all the time, but anywho.. I use to really be into anime's too, but I can't seem to enjoy them generally anymore.
Like I was saying though, he does agree that there is evil in shows and movies, but he still has his random shows he likes.
We've both decided we watch TV too much or just be lazy too much as a whole and have decided we need to better spend our time. We've started doing that. But when I ask myself "What would Jesus do?" I start to question if he'd watch something with even a little evil in it. I know that there are appropriate times to see the world's evil to be aware and such, but entertaiment is different. I'd really like some comments/guidance. Anything would be helpful.. Thanks!
