Don’t Tell Me How To Live Letter to the Editor
A reader questions “good Christian people” who condemn porn and ads while critiquing hypocrisy. They recount viewing a risqué film, argue for personal choice and God’s law, mock censorship, and threaten a slander suit yet urge media reform. Ends with a plea to stop preaching in God’s name.
