Get real dude. Why do you think it was relevant for a shower scene? Ill answer that for you. It isnt! It was put there so you can look at a woman showering and lust. You seriously need to get real. Btw: Anime is evil.
You just proved my point by automatically labeling it porn. Due to 14 years of porn addiction I'm not the best person to ask on the subject I admit, but I wouldn't label all anime evil. Samurai Shamploo is about the start of Christianity in Japan. Not all Anime is pro-Buddist. I think its very ignorant to label something evil when you don't know much about it

Hello Monnkai

Agreed - sex scenes are wrong.

No prud here but on the topic of generic nudity in a non sexual context - it is still wrong given that God clothed Adam and Eve. I am thinking in terms of the 'full frontal' colloquialism - who cares if a guy is just wearing shorts or a gal a bathing suite.

What I find ironic is that it looks like the US censors a lot of nudity, but still allows the same age groups to see murder and torture. I really don't understand why neither nudity nor violence is seen as a sales gimmick :/

Sure I like to see the upper body of a handsome male, I am a woman after all :p but any more than that? No thanks,
that can wait until I (if I) get married

I hate most things on tv but especially this. Lol if the kids are seeing something and accidentally some of those words even going that way I yell: PUT IT OFF! Put up something christian or go watch a program for toddlers. Lol we have a company or something in Holland that decides which ages can watch which movies and if it has sex or cursing or violence in it. It's called the Kijkwijzer. My ex used to say: It's not normal. I'm married to the Kijkwijzer. It's like I'm living with my mom again. He secretly upstairs watched Gulliver's travels. Hahahahahahaha I guess I went too far then. I even thought Winny the Pooh was occult because bears can't talk. They have to be demon posessed. Luckily for my kids I normalized, but that crap: No way. We once visited an unbelieving friend of my ex who had this filth on. He didn't say something about it, so I just walked away, outside.
Balaam's donkey talked, and he wasn't demon possessed. He saw an angel of the Lord.. :)

I think that is born specifically out of the Scriptures' comment in Paul's letters that somethings are stumbling blocks to some people and not to others. To the one who views anime as evil, it may be a stumbling block. To the one who doesn't see it as evil, the stumbling block isn't there. It's more to do with our conception of the world around us, than God giving one group a set of rules another group doesn't have to follow.
Conception? :confused::D

Huh? LOL
I proved nothing silly kid. I dont recall using the word porn. I did use the word lust though.
No. You are NOT the best person to ask. I agree with you!
I think its very ignorant to assume that I do not know much about anime.

I apologize then. I agree some is evil. However I think some is harmless. Thats my opinion.

*Sigh* I should have learned by now to never speak my opinion. It just leads me to be depressed :/ I think I'm done with this site for a while

I guess I disagree.....each person is different and can be tempted more easier in different situations. I know that I can walk into a casino and not spend a penny and not even flinch. If I walk into a buffet resteraunt, I will prolly fail. But that might not be to the next person. I think when it comes to situations and things like that, you can sit there and not even think twice, but the person next to you could go beyond in their head till it turns into a sin.

I belive the Bible talks about walking away from temptation, so like with me, I don't go to resteraunts where I know Im setting myself up for failure. I stay away from them and other things that I may or may not even fail in.
I think you answered your own questions, and well might I add.

My mother is a gynecologist and my father is a chiropractor. They taught me that a body, in and of itself, is not a "bad thing" to see. It's the context over the content. Obviously no one would argue against what either of my parents do because they understand the context.

Having said that, in movies, some people are incapable of looking at the content within the right context. They have a hyper-sensitivity to scenes, be it to violence, language, or nudity. Both of my parents can watch discovery health where they do intensely graphic surgeries and they don't flinch at all. They could eat medium rare steak whilst doing it too. I, on the other hand, get really sick. However, if someone uses the "f word" in an attacking way, my mother gasps as if she was shot in the chest by a 12 gauge. She claims it hurts her spirit. Other people can go to sleep listening to the first scene of Full Metal Jacket (ultra vulgar) and they sleep like a baby.

If someone feels convicted by the Spirit that they ought not to watch, it's probably best you not watch.

Most tv is dramatising sin in one way or another, for entertainment purposes.

Growing up, when my family was watching a movie and a naked scene would show up, my parents had us kids turn around while they fast fwd the tape (back in the vhs days lol). Now, as an adult, it's a habit for me to look away or quickly skip the chapter of said scene. This pertains more to sex scenes, but for the most part, I'll skip any naked scenes.

Anime is Evil? There some good old christian ignorance coming through, man gotta love it.

On the topic of at ahnd though, I think out of all the shows I watch Game of Thrones is the only one with nudity in it, but at the same time, just a pair of breasts isnt going to send me into wild lustful fantasies. I mean if you can control yourself and not make a big scene about it then I dont see the issue.

Don't people get rid of those, though? So should we get rid of Melita?
People can try to get rid of me, but... I'm kinda stubborn lol

Back to the OP, I used to watch game of thrones. Great story line, but I had to stop watching it because of the nude scenes. I didn't feel right watching the show anymore.
