Dominic and I have been dialoguing about the "Hold Fast" blog on the sidebar there...Here's a look into that conversation :)


Here's mine
"I went over Hold fast.....Did you get a chance yet?? I particularly enjoyed 'are you hiding Jews here?'
and 'Dead Poets Society'.

here's why: 'are you hiding Jews here?' goes over the whole lying issue and you have to read the comments underneath, cuz they way outline the whole issue and go over it really thoroughly--but the issue is very interesting as they are talking about if it is ever ok to lie, as in for a bday party or to save someone's life. 'Dead Poet's society' goes over the issue of how media feeds us lies, but we believe it and buy into it because it is so well written..... "


here's Dominic's

"'The cinema is really a scary thing, how it can twist your mind into thinking something completely opposite to everything you know to be true with a few soaring violins and dramatic lines. That's why you really never can turn your brain off" -- from the hold fast blog

It really is a scary thing and it's not restricted to just movies. Music can do the same thing to people, certain motivational lyrics or a part in a movie with emotions running high can turn you away from what you believe because the lies being said are made to seem like the best way to go. So truly you can't turn your brain off. You can't let your guard down to it because if you're not paying attention to what's really being said then we're vulnerable to Satan to come in and turn us from what's really true. Satan uses the actors/artists or whatever to make things look so much better than what we've been believing all this time so if we're not engaging our brains into what we're hearing then we can easily be detoured into a lie.
