You….drink? curse? smoke? watch R-rated movies?Posted by Rick on March 24th, 2005
In Robert E. Webber’s The Young Evangelicals, he reprints a letter from a student who was applying to be a movie critic for his college’s newspaper.
The student noted that while he was interviewing, there was a young lady eavesdropping on the conversation. When he had finished the interview and was out the door, she came up to him and asked him what type of movies he was going to review. He responded that he would be reviewing all sorts, and she said, “Ever R-rated movies?” He responded that he supposed so, and she replied, “Well, I hope you don’t have to compromise” and walked off. The next line he writes is, “I had been judged.”
I find this sort of thing really sad and pathetic. In thinking she was strong, she was showing her weakness. In inferring he was the one with the problem, she showed the world her own self-righteousness.
