You know where they're -all- at? You'd make an awesome wingman. I'm not even sure the town I live in -has- a titty bar..maybe I should have you come by and sniff the air for me? How does something like revelations square away with your attempts to avoid violent entertainment for fear of becoming callous or jaded, btw? Do you not worry that reading the bible will have the same effect - when bears eat children or cities are annihilated, or genocide is called from on high? If not...why not?
I mean, I get the idea that the overall narrative (from a christian perspective) is -supposed- to be about redemption, some even consider it a love story...but those movies about hitman are often about redemption as well..they have romantic subplots (Grosse Pointe Blank comes to mind immediately). What's the difference between the narratives (and characters) you avoid, and the narratives (and characters) you enshrine?
IOW.....whats the difference between King "String of Foreskins" David from the OT, and Sgt Andrew "String of Ears" Scott from Universal Soldier?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
