After Our's: Review

In light of Siehjin's comment, i decided i owe it to the christian sector and the public a proper review of the play, which basically just mean what i thought of it.

After Our's deal with the sexual encounters of several people and the things that followed after, it was somewhat controversial and representative of today's culture (even though we may claim that we are conservative, but i really think these are true events going on even if we care to admit or not).

It started with having pre-marital sex, one act which i do not condone! And to make it worse, the girl lied to the mother and stuff like that, all revolving lies, deceit and cover ups, just so to preserve the "purity" notion have about us.

Then it went on with several more scenarios, all mostly random sexual encounters and how different people deal with the different problem at hand.

I feel it was somewhat well written, though of course random encounters is a big NO NO in my books and i strongly urge that those who are watching it keep an open mind yet be wary that these are not things God allowed us to do before marriage. It is not somehting to imitate nor something that one should be boastful about, but rather they are offering a perspective in drama acting so that we can see the world as it is, but not be a part of it.

I believe Jesus didn't mean for us to be living as a collective Christian culture ignoring the world, but just not conforming to it, as Siehjin did put it in his blog post, Jesus did mixed with tax collectors, prostitutes and other profession that weren't consider noble by the societies standards. So i believe to we should not be ignorant, sticking to just our own Christian safe houses, but break forth towards the world outside of church and CF, and be a loving friend to every person, remember hate the sin not the sinners.

So yes, the play was good, but still, i repeat, not something i would do or condone. It is art to be appreciated and provoke our conservative mind, it is better to learn it through a stage play than to experience it first hand with no turning back. So take it from me, it is only a few more days and the play will be over, so get a chance to watch to get insights, but if you are weak at heart or your faith may be stumbled, avoid it, or watch it with someone who is spiritually strong.

DON'T HAVE PRE-MARITAL SEX!! JUST DON'T.
