KLAVAN: Should Christians Watch ‘Game Of Thrones’?

Andrew Klavan answers a question in the mailbag about whether Christians should engage with stories and art, like “Game of Thrones,” that heavily feature sinful actions on Wednesday’s episode of “The Andrew Klavan Show.” Transcript and video below.

From Sara: “Hi Andrew Klavan with no E’s, longtime listener. I’m struggling to raise my children to be Christians in a very fallen world. And your willingness to embrace expressions of the most vile sin while creating Christian movies with pornography struck me dumb.” Little bit of kidding around there Sara but still I did say that. “I’m not saying that Christian movies are terrific in their acting, direction, and production.” Which by the way is what makes movies terrific. Plus, the writing. “But how do you square your perspective with Philippians 4-8. Colossians—”. The number of the Bible verses I’ll get to those in a minute. “You have often said that anger is the devil’s cocaine. I have always thought that guilty laughter is the devil’s cocaine. If the devil can get you to laugh at sin, he’s got you comfortable with it and you’re moved incrementally away from God and towards sin.”
