Oddly enough, most of the people going to the movies on Saturday ARE Christians, if the statistics on Christianity in the USA are correct.

Or does this article refer to some "special" Christians or something?

Problem is that if you read a site like 'Christian Spotlight on the Movie'...the criteria they use aren't conducive to aesthetics. They complain about any depiction of sin regardless of context. One reader warned people to be wary of anything written by Shakespeare as it requires 'discernment'.

The Christian argument is a little narrow. All we really want is what most parents want; good, clean, fun films that don't embarrass us in front of our children or require we answer questions on mature issues later.

Hollywood knows but refuses to admit that family films, when done well and with respect, are box-office draws. "The Incredibles," "Chicken Run," "Finding Nemo," and "The Lion King" are all prime examples. Theatres are going to make a bigger profit on a family of four than a couple of two.

In todays world the term Christian has very little meaning. If you did a survey asking "Do you consider yourself a Christian." more than likely 70% or so in the country would say yes. Generally it would mean that you are not and atheist, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Pagan, etc.
You probably would find at least half of them surfing the porn sites, etc.
The article I believe is targeting those who claim to be followers of Christ AND who practice a Biblical based morality system.

Personally, I would like to see "the call" a bit more broad based.

Cordially,
