How would it be different if in a situation where someone was going to die, and you sacrified yourself for them, what would it make you?

I was raised in the 60s and 70s in a Southern Baptist town. Most residents were regular church goers, the town was segregated into white and "colored", most whites were Dixiecrats and then Moral Majority. I was taught the following items were sins that would lead to hell:
drinking alcohol
smoking tobacco
females wearing make-up and short skirts
having sex or marriage between whites and blacks
if you were Catholic or Communist
homosexuality
pre-marital sex

Are these items still sins? Why or why not? If some are no longer considered sins because the church was wrong about that behavior, could the church be wrong about other behaviors?

Why or why not?

If you are offended...do you find that you are easily offended? Do you find that you spend a lot of time hiding under your bed? If you haven't been offended by 10am each day, do you start going through withdrawal? Are you an offence junkie? Should the production crew be stoned in accordance with the Old Testament for being a big bunch of jerks?

If you aren't offended, are you planning on seeing it?

Yes, I'm totally poking fun. I read that some religious groups are offended that it is being released on Christmas and that religious music is used in the movie. I'm amazed that: 1) some people would actually expend the energy to worry about something like this, and 2) that it's even possible to draw some sort of bizarre Twilight Zone parallel between a pathetic slasher movie and the birth of Jesus.

I have decided that Christmas is no longer about Jesus, love, and compassion. These days, Christmas is more about spending, arguing, and spitting matches.

Every time I see a painting, drawing, etc. of the Flood, it usually consists of the Ark sailing through a vast ocean, breaking through the waves.

Why do they rarely ever show human and animal corpses floating around in that water? After all, that IS how it would have looked. There would have been dead animals getting tossed around by the waves. There also would have been dead human cadavers (of men, women, children, and infants alike) floating around in that vast ocean.

Why don't they ever show that? Why not show it like it was instead of making it into some pleasant story, when it's really a tale of death, gore, and destruction.

Please, give me the gist of what you think it is.

Why do you personally support it?

Optional: What do you know that supports it validity.

I personally don't agree with it, I sincerely want to know how anyone can?

I have read several books on the subject, watched interviews with "experts", and read online theories.

I'm just curious as to what you all believe, and what type of evidence you have to back it up. I know, "evidence" is such a vague term for this question, but I'm looking for more personal experiences/things you've witnessed.

Why do we leave out things that we feel are "irrelevant for the times"? Don't tell me it is the Old Testament, and don't give me 500 pages of scripture. I have read the bible many times. If the Old Testament was null and void there would be many things, such as the ten comandments that we could ignore, but plenty of people use the ten commandments as ammunition for arguments. Use your brains and give me an educated answer. Thank you.
