It's more than "cringe", what Fr Calciu was saying and Roosh is quoting. I was born in the early 70s, to a devout Catholic family in the "bible belt" of the US. As a child, when people/tv etc would say something blasphemous it hit me with sadness and nausea deep in the pit of my stomach. It sickened me for days. They were ridiculing the core of who I was as a human being. By the late 80s they slowly starting chipping that away from me to the point that the movie Dogma in the late 90s only mildly bothered me. The kid me would have walked out. We in America were intentionally desensitized and made to think ridiculing our faith is "just a movie" and merely "cringe". Now I am sickened again by it, as of only 5 years ago.
I've never seen Dogma, but the IMDB description of the movie does not indicate it has any blasphemous references (but the synopsis of the movie is not something I think I'd want to watch, it's not my type of movie), and has 106 f-bombs. I draw a limit of 50 f-bombs if I badly want to see something, but ideally, it should be zero f-bombs or zero blasphemy. Rarely, if ever, I've seen any movie with allot of f-bombs or swearing where I felt it was a memorable movie, even if it's a true story. You more likely think that, wow, I had to put up with all that to get to this story rather than appreciating the story if it didn't have all that junk in it.
But yeah, if you are mildly bothered by a movie that has 104 f-bombs at the time you watched it with a wierd story-line like that then there is something amiss. Its always a good idea to look at parental guides on IMDB and see if you can handle the objectionable content within a movie, look at Christian reviews about movies and see what other Christians say about a specific movie and do your homework about it. But, even with IMDB Parent Guide only works so much.
How did you change from being mildly bothered by such a movie by being sickened by it again? What happened 5 years ago?
