It's about what you have said to me, about yourself, in this discussion. You said that the Bible condemned it. But you also said that you don't personally condemn it. This clear inconsistency strikes me as being absolutely fundamental. Can you explain it?

thus, in harmony with my conscience and my understanding of Gods perspective, I
could not in good conscience, view the rest of that film, that is how it works, one
takes a Biblical principle and weighs up its import, through the process of
discernment, as to what is good and proper from Gods standpoint and how it reflects
upon our standing as Christians.
