The Real 50 Shades

     Just to start off, I was hoping not to do a blog on this certain topic since it is so touchy. It makes me I'll just thinking about it. But since it is what all the hoopla is about, I shall put forth my very humble and just opinion on it. 
     Everyone has heard of the "erotic" book turned movie 50 Shades Of Grey, specially since it came out over Valentine's Day weekend. The first time I had heard of it was when my sister had gotten the books to review and she wanted me to know what all the hype was about. Me, however, I just wanted to cleanse myself from all of the sinful behavior and lust that was occurring even in the short passages she read me. I tried to brush it off of my shoulder after that.
     That was a couple of years ago. But then I heard that they were making it into a movie. Okay, that's even more nauseating. A porn book made into a movie with ONLY an R rating. That means that 17 year olds can see this without a parent present. How disastrous is that idea, ladies and gentlemen? A movie about lust, coveting, mananipulation, and fear ... but the main female finds that to be attractive somehow. 
     I have not, I repeat, I have NOT read the books nor have I seen the movie. I have, however, read some excerpts. The ones I had read, made me so nauseous and so shook up because it reminded me of the way I was abused by my former husband. The anger, the manipulation, the fear. how is that a love story?
     To answer that last question, it isn't. The two main characters lust after each other and have premarital sex WAY before they even fall in love. A love story is supposed to consist more of the love chemistry between two characters and what they have to go through, not about the details before it happens like this.
     Then there is the issue of BDSM. For those of you who do not know, that stands for "Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, Sadism and Masochism." Now, to the contrary of what most people think; this is not just a kinky way to have sex. It is a lifestyle That spreads beyond the closed doors of the bedroom. It lurks into every aspect of people's lives and diminishes who they are. People get hooked so quick that that is who they become. Then the abuse goes further.
     I know. I know. Some of you are thinking that sex play is not abuse. But what you have to understand is that they go hand in hand on this one. On one side, you have someone who is a willing participant. On the other, you have someone who is not. Other than that, the is no difference. The poor treatment is the same and the sinful nature and satanic lifestyle is the same. 
     I have even had some "Christian" friends going to see it not just once, but multiple times! I employ you to think for a second here. If you can read these kinds of porn a graphic books and watch the movies with a clean conscience and with no conviction of the Holy Spirit, I think God is the One who needs your full and undivided attention. If you can watch those things and not be disgusted or nauseated without crying afterward and begging for God to wipe that away from His sight, you need to rethink your relationship with God and get on track. For those movies are certainly far from what God deems good and acceptable in ANY person's life, Christian or not.
