Perfect Contrast Today's output of stage and screen bears fault for immorality, violence and greed. But one largely overlooked ungodliness is the bent for vengeance rather than justice or forgiveness. Few writers seek to achieve justice for justice sake. Justice, you see, ultimately rests on the belief that some things are simply right and some things are simply wrong. Since God alone offers such a firm moral position, and God is foreign to the sinful heart, the only acceptable position for secular consumption is vengeance.
Heros are no longer heros because they fought for what was right.
They are heros simply because they won by gaining vengeance. Today's society applauds that and fills theaters to affirm its approval. Politics reveals its heart in one of its laws of operation. The forgiveness of Jesus stands in perfect contrast to the world view. However, some great writers have been touched by the master forgiver.
