Sigrid,
I call myself a New Thought Christian if I'm forced to choose a label. I prefer to think of myself as a spiritual being having a human experience.

I agree with Meredith. What I read has more to do with whether it's entertaining for me or inspirational or informative. I do draw the line at gratuitous sex and violence because it is just that - not warranted by the circumstances or context - and is designed to try to get my attention with flash rather than quality.

However, I do not judge written or visual material by anyone's rules but my own because I believe that only I should be the judge of what impressions I take into my mental/spiritual world. It is not really the material usually that gets people in an uproar. It is that the material threatens some rule or regulation they adhere to. It is true that some things are in poor taste because they are gratuitous or directed toward hurting another person in some way. However, we always have the choice to walk away from it. Unfortunately, in my opinion, too many people feel they also have the right to determine what everyone else reads or sees.

I say write from your heart. Don't worry about trying to please everybody because that is impossible. As a writer you have an obligation to entertain or inform, but most of all to encourage others to think for themselves.
