And yeah the Joker did come across pretty evil, but someone has to play the part. I feel sorry for the actors who play Satan in movies on Christian channels. But someone has to show the true side of evil. Unfortuantely, if you aren't saved, it's hard to come out of a part like that. Hence the pills for Heath Ledger. How different is any other "evil" role from the 80's? At the time those people were crossing some serious lines. Really its up to the discretion of the person themself. Some people need to look at a movie like The Dark Knight and despise it. It could be that they are the type more suseptable to temptation related to that. But if everyone was truly wrong for liking it, then no one would be able to celebrate Easter either. Though it's a holiday that represents Christs ressurection, it's named after a pagan goddess "Ishtar." I believe the bunny rabbit is also some pagan related thing. The Christmas tree is also a pagan symbol. Halloween use to be called Hallow's Eve. It was suppose to be a Christian holiday. Try telling that to someone now a days. It's a day actually dedicated to Satan! Jack O lanterns would ALL be considered wicked because they are to serve as lanterns to light the path so that Witches can see where they are going. So really one is inviting a witch (thoretically) to come visit them by having Jack O lanterns everywhere. So it depends on the person. Some people despise Halloween. They think it is the most wicked day ever. But others, choose to use it for good. Like having safe festivals at Church so that people aren't off doing wicked things and putting scriptures with candy to witness to people indirectly. Christmas trees are kind of a necessity for most people. So rather than worshipping it or using it for it's true meaning, people decorate it with their family. My family puts ornaments that are of baby Jesus, or Nativety Scenes, Crosses, Angels etc... God can use anything for good. So if one watches the Dark Knight, they might get a message from it that is God's work. I honestly think the Joker reflects what people are capable of becoming. It's scary. And it's people who have given up on the world and think it's all bad and they have been hurt in the past. But Batman proves that there are still good people in the world. Gothem is sort of like Ninevah. And the Joker is like Satan trying to convince Batman to give up on it and let it fall to destruction. See? Already one can use it in a Biblical perspective.You'll find more fulfillment looking for the good things.
