Saved!

Sometimes living in a largely conservative environment gets me a little down. But, when I am lucky I get the chance to laugh at it! Such is the case with a trip to the local video store. My husband and I were looking around, and on the shelf was the movie Saved, which I already own. Across the movie on the shelf in this conservative little town was a sticker that said, "Warning: offensive religious material". I find this hillarious on so many levels. I figure someone must have complained about how the movie deals with teenage pregnancy. I feel that this mythical complaining person should have watched this movie to the end. At the end of this movie, they really explain that no one really knows what religion or belief is right. What is offensive about that? they clearly point out in this movie some of the hypocracy of some religious-professing people, but that happens. You know what offends me? The fact that I cannot attend any functions here without hearing a sermon. The fact that religious affiliation and your place in heaven or hell is discussed no matter where you go. Also, the fact I cannot find a decent take-out place open on a Sunday! Living life, for me, does not involve damning people to hell. Take a chill pill, people! Also, do watch Saved. It really is a good movie!
