Again, just because there are gay men does not make it evil. As I said they do it with decency. MF is an uplifting show, not a cynical one, like most sitcoms. Instead of a clip , see the show and judge for yourself.
Sorcery is also a GRAVE sin but people don’t mind children reading fantasy books with magic, do they? Obviously it is almost impossible to read books or watch drama without something unwholesome, since conflict is the main element that drives plot.
I agree with you. If you’re looking for the “perfect show,” forget it. Think about this–in
The Sound of Music, the young girl comes in from a tryst with her boyfriend–she’s soaking wet, beautiful, and has a rather curvacious figure that really stands out in the wet dress. I’m sure there are young men and perhaps women who struggle with sexual temptation during that scene. Now, IMO, the scene wasn’t necessary. The director could have cast a rather plain or homely girl in the role, and her dress could have been kind of dowdy and loose-fitting so as not to show off her figure, and they could have only showed her from the neck up after she came in from the rain–and she wouldn’t have had to come in from the rain, she could have talked to her boyfriend from her window.
But they chose to make the scene rather provocative. Now does this make *The Sound of Music *“indecent?” I should hope not!!
The old TV shows also had objectionable moments. I love
The Honeymooners, but I really have a difficult time when huge Ralph pounds his fist and says, “One of these days, Alice, POW, right in the kisser!” I don’t find this funny at all–it’s abuse, and a lot of women have died from getting beat up by their husbands. It bothers me that this was “the way things were back then.” That’s scary! But I don’t let this wreck the entire show for me–I think the show is brilliant, even with the flaws.
Same for the two shows I recommended above. In
Last Resort, there is a scene where, after a tense defusing of a live bomb, the female officer and the Navy Seal “get it on” on the beach. You don’t see much. Now, IMO, this scene is realistic–the officers and sailors on the show are in a horrific pressure cooker, and people react different ways to pressure. This kind of scene is not shown constantly on the show–THAT’S the difference between this show and so many others–the show is not an excuse to show illicit sex. Both the female officer and the Navy Seal recognize after the act that they have done something “wrong” or at least, unacceptable. One racy scene should not make Christians turn up their noses. After all, this show is about the Navy, not about a seminary!
