You clearly weren't taught the way I was then. PEople always try to bring
up the "judging others" issue when the actions are clearly in violation of
scripture. It's one thing to lose one's temper and control momentarily,
quite another to plan ahead and profit from something. If I say I'm a
Christian woman, I won't be in bed doing love scenes naked with another
man. Don't tell me I'm not going to feel anything real (physical) if I'm
making out with Antonio Banderas!


My point was that it's not my job to sit here and judge the Christianity of
actors, complete strangers to me. Those who subscribe to the idea that it
is in fact their job to point out the missteps of their fellow Christians
certainly couldn't put actors they will never meet into that category,
either. There's just no scriptural way to justify sitting around saying
this person or that person can't possibly be a Christian because they do (a)
or (b), particularly if you want to be as literal with the scripture as you
seem to be saying.
