Have you ever wondered why many Christians are so quick to judge things such as movies. They see something that scares them just a little bit and it is immediately of the Devil.
Well, with all that aside I have found some truly valuable gems in movies that otherwise would be considered sinful.
Here are a few for you to think over:
From Dusk Till Dawn
SETH GECKO
Are you just a faithless preacher,
or are you a mother f****** servant
of God?
JACOB FULLER
I'm a...mmmmm....mmm...hmmm...hmm...
servant of God.
Black Snake Moan
RAE
You know how people are always saying
you gotta get right with Jesus if you
want not to go to hell. You kinda say
you're sorry and Jesus will let you
into heaven.
REVEREND R.L.:
You can put it that way....What's on
your mind?
RAE:
You can't go around hurting people and
say you're sorry and it all gets washed
away. Why would heaven want people like
that?
REVEREND R.L.:
I'm gonna tell you something and it's
just gonna be between you and me. I
think folks carry on about heaven too
much, like it's some kinda all you can
eat buffet up in the clouds, and folks
just do as their told so they can eat
whatever they want behind some pearly
gates.

There's sin in my heart, there's evil
in the world, but when I got no one I
talk to God. I ask for strength, I ask
for forgiveness -- not peace at the end
of my days when I got no more life to
live or no more good to do, but today,
right now.

What's your heaven?
Dogma
BARTLEBY
In the beginning, it was just us and
Him. Angels and God. And then He
created the humans. And He gave them
more than He ever gave us. Our's was
designed to be a life of servitude
and worship - adoration. But He gave
the humans more - He gave them a
choice. They can choose to ignore
God, choose to acknowledge Him. All
this time we've been down here,
everyday I felt the absence of the
Divine presence. And it pained me...
as I'm sure it must have pained you
sometimes, even though you'd gloss
over it with jokes. But we feel his
absence, and why? Because of the
way He made us -as servants. Had
we been given free will, we could
ignore the pain... like them.
LOKI
You know - maybe you should take
a nap or something.
BARTLEBY
Loki, don't you get it? It's the
humans - it's always the humans.
They were given paradise; they
threw it away. They were given
this planet; they destroyed it.
They were favored best among all
His endeavors; and some of them
don't even believe He exists.
Their ego-mania corroded Hell and
made it dark and crimson.
So there are a few things I find worth while is some films that are often times considered ungodly or repulsive. God can use anybody...anybody.
