.@DangeRussWilson I'm more than a little confused, Russell. I thought you professed to be a Christian. And yes, I'm judgmental (John 7:24).

Wilson defended his choice to go see the movie, and followed it up with a nod to a film in a much different genre.
Saw a movie filmed in the town I call home. Provocative/disturbing no doubt but that does not make me less Faithful.
Have a blessed day! 😇
