To my Jesus-loving friends who like music or movies that aren’t blatantly Christian—AND that contain stuff (gore, scariness, wenchery, blasphemy, occult, murder, all that) that Jesus Would likely NOt Say “this TOTALLY ROCKS, y’all!” About… I wonder this: what is the draw? Why does it call to you?

I am genuinely curious. Because while I do not believe “people who watch scary stuff and or soft core are going to hell,” since avoiding hell is about whether you have laid down your will and gave it ALL To Jesus, and NOT “oooh, I like glitter and smiley faces now!”

But like what is missing from your life that you WANT to see people bloody and struggling or naked and struggling (or pretending to, sorry lol) in order to get kicks and stuff?

Is it that you liked it before you got Saved and don’t want to give it up now so you’re digging your heels in, or that you have unprocessed trauma and those things kind of comfort you?

I’m not saying a Christian should stop that stuff. But rather, I wonder why you don’t want to. Or why you’re unable to. Or why you refuse to.

I struggled with that stuff and more—and I also went through multiple traumas (break-ins, threats to my life by both humans and ”nature,” heh, serious illness, even the occult and loser demon stuff). My life resembled a horror movie for years. You would probably not believe more than half the experiences I’ve had in my life, lol. (And I could not blame you for it :)) perhaps I should write a book about it all…! xD

So that may be why I don’t get this fatal attraction to shocking or gross things.

Things that demons feed on and propagate.

I do wonder this, though: if Jesus Came Down right now and said “Baby Love, I don’t like these movies or these CDs. Let’s throw them out, hmm?”

Like literally He ASKED you to get rid of stuff (or even friends, and NO, not like that, Hannibal!)…

Would you let Him?

And further, would you grow VEXED With Him for not wanting to stay in your house with Cinemax and Saw 1-4 or snuff f or whatever?

And what if it DID not offend Him… but your refusal to lay it down (even like green smoothies or belonging to a certain church that He Loved and Endorsed—“just because I Said So!”)—DID hurt His Feelings.

My question here is whether you consider Him The LORD Of your life?

And if not, WHY not?

Thanks for reading this far, friends. Have had several people I know go through fatal experiences this week and several more getting difficult medical news. Which always makes me grieve—and wonder if they were ready to leave this life and begin their new one.

I love you all tremendously, and hope you will think about this stuff, even if you throw things at me and or send me hate mail or call me a big fat dweeb (which I basically am, btw. :))
