Hunger games

Okay I have to say something you are probably all going to roll your eyes. Lydia Boyd is telling us what to do again. But I feel God is leading me to say something. Three words THE HUNGER GAMES. When I saw hunger games several of you are going to think. "yes I love hunger games I am going to see it tonight can't wait." Than there are some who are like "oh yeah I think I have heard of that." And I hope there are some people out there who said what I am thinking. "Why are we filling our minds with junk?" I read a couple reviews on books and movie. In case you didn't realize hunger games is compared to lord of the flies. lord of the flies is a book were young boys are trapped on an island and all go insane and kill each other. lord of the flies is a name for satan. Why is hunger games being compared to a book about killing wildly? Because that is what hunger games is killing taking life from another person that God created and loves. Yes they are fictional characters but the concept translates into real life. One of the arguments I have heard is that "Oh but Katniss is so brave she is going in place of her sister. Isn't that Christ like sacrificing your life for someone else?" Well yes it is very nice...but does that completely make up for feeding your mind on people killing each other and enjoying it to some extent? In my opinion most certainty not. For anyone who has learned about the gladiator's and wondered how the rich people of Rome could go an arena and watch people be killed by others. Or worse the Christians being torn to pieces by lions. Which brings me to the whole point of this would you be the one standing in the arena not willing to renounce your faith in Christ or would you be the Christian hiding behind the mask of just doing what your told and maybe even saying that your not a Christian. Your life is not on the line but tonight as The Hunger Games opens tonight are you the Christian standing firm saying "I will not be like the world not matter what is costs me." Or are you the one thinking. "At least I haven't read the hunger games. And I am not going to see the movie." or are you the one going to the movie saying. "Well it's not that bad...I'm not going to go kill someone after I go to the movie." That isn't the point the point is that are you being different than the world. Would someone have evidence enough to have you thrown to the lions?
