But having previously been something of a novelty ('A horror fan who goes to church.?'), I now find myself just one of thousands of churchgoers suddenly showing an interest in blood-splattered cinema. I have never met a horror movie fan who would do anything other than turn the other cheek in a fight - largely because we're a bunch of physical wimps with no interest in actual bodily endangerment. My opposition to film censorship - for adults, anyway - is based partly on a belief in the Christian principle of free will the God-given right to make our own choices and take responsibility for our own actions. As a hardcore horror fan who is also an habitual churchgoer (unconfirmed C of E) I have never seen any contradiction between enjoying gruesomely violent movies during the week and then singing hymns and praying for world peace on Sunday. It's based on the Gospels, so first the good news never again will I have to endure another sermon from some sanctimonious God-botherer on the inherent evils of violent cinema.
