Isn't it interesting how people who complain about too much sex in modern culture seem to always have minds like horny 14 year old boys? They see sex in everything, even ridiculous things like the arrangement of vegetables in some market stall (that one was from Islamic fundies in Iraq as I remember).
I wonder if they don't actually have really high libidos, but their religion tells them sex is bad, so constantly blaming everybody else for their continuous stream of "sinful thoughts" is their way of coping.

I can't make up my mind whether it's "fuck" or "hell". I seem to recall that they referenced this "most foul of foul words" in regard to a film which I'm pretty sure did not contain the word "fuck", but it would take too much effort to confirm this.
It's Damn. In his review of Jeepers Creepers 2 he says "The prominence of the use of the most foul of the foul words was so severe, it seemed as if to say the writers were trying to rewrite that which is acceptable. [Col. 3:8] God's name was used in vain both with and without the four letter expletive"
For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;
I also find it highly amusing that, according to his system A Clockwork Orange is a better movie to watch than X-Men 2 and 3, Yours Mine and Dupree, The Fast and the Furious, Evolution (actually I shouldn't be surprised there), Elektra and Just Friends.
Oh, and he takes off points in a baby version of Noah's Ark for showing people drowing for incurring gods' wrath. You'd think he'd revel in that...

Oh, but don't you get it? He's being OBJECTIVE, and that makes his system automatically better than anything else. Seriously, half his reviews are spent praising that ridiculously stupid ratings system he's come up with. Did you know that his reviews require the computerized application of "over thirty" mathematical operations? I learned that, the other day. That must make his methodology completely sound.

It probably occurred to him at some point that a supposedly all-loving God killing people left and right throughout the OT doesn't compute. He's presumably managed to doublethink the naughty thoughts away himself, but he's worried that someone of "weaker faith" (like a child who hasn't been thoroughly programmed yet) might be tempted away from Christianity by that. Hence it gets points taken off.

He thinks she's an Angel, not a Witch.
Even if we give him that, he's still employing a double standard. There are numerous points where authority figures are disobeyed, disrespected, and even ridiculed. The biggest incident being when the boy refused to put his money in the bank.
