I am really ashamed to admit this, but I feel the need to cleanse by confession: Nate and I watched Brokeback Mountain yesterday.
It really seemed so harmless and like it might be a good flick, having won a million awards and all, but the content of the movie made me want to vomit several times, and try as I might, I cannot get some of those scenes out of my head. I mowed the lawn today and the whole 3 hours I was pushing the mower around, I was asking God to cleanse my mind and my thoughts from what I'd seen and to forgive me for having kept watching when I should have quit (darn that whole "But the yucky stuff might be all over now!" thought train). I know I did nothing wrong, but I seriously feel like I watched two hours and eight minutes of pornography or something. It is that gross.
If it was supposed to give me cultural awareness, it definitely did that...I am painfully aware of the moral disintegration of humanity. If it was supposed to help me be more open-minded towards the gay lifestyle, it definitely did not do that...I am sickened by it and if anything, am more motivated to pray against people choosing that road.
