They will get beat up constantly all because you are such a wimpy little bitch that you can't have a somewhat uncomfortable talk with your kids.

Some of you have a very simple understanding of parenting. Not taking a child to a movie due to activities being in it that I do not agree with does not mean I will not discuss such things with my children or that I am scared to do so.

There is nothing uncomfortable about having a discussion with my children about sin. My 9 year old is well aware that we do not encourage sinful behavior and that homosexual behavior is sinful. My 3 year old is too young to even understand what any of that means yet. None of that has anything to do with taking them to a film that glorifies sinful behavior or not. I will not take my children to a film that normalizes sin or paints sinful behavior of any kind in a positive light because children are impressionable and I do not want to give them the impression that I am compromising on sin through my endorsement of such behavior through a film I took them to see. If it is a film we want to see, we will simply watch the film at a later date, at my home, where I can immediately pause after any such interaction and explained to them that even though such activity is in this film, that does not mean it is acceptable behavior that I am encouraging and we can then have a full discussion about the why's or why not's. This often presents a great opportunity to explain to my children my worldview and why I believe the way I do. The movie theater is not the place for such discussions and you all are fools for thinking that is where such discussions should or could be had. By the time you get home from the theater, any such opportunity is lost.

What's most amazing is that the morons on this board need this spelled out for them. I reiterate my point that you guys should absolutely not ever become parents. You will fail.

I will not make another comment on this subject.
