What really matters

So in one of my classes this morning we had a discussion about which 5 films we would show at an LDS Film festival held at the SCERA in Orem.  One of the thoughts expressed was that if all that was known about our church in a hundred years were the films shown at this festival, the church produced films would be the most important.  And while I agree that they are the most important films, I don't not think that they are the most important films to be shown at a LDS film festival.  As a LDS girl that grew up in a fairly large LDS population and familiar with the culture enough to find the jokes in Singles Ward funny, these are the types of films that I would want to be shown.  They are the fun films, that aren't going to be too preachy or doctrinal.  And if the church is gone in a hundred years, it won't really matter what we believed.  We were wrong.  So give the people of the future a glimpse of our lives, not our beliefs.  Don't give them something we hold sacred to laugh at, give them something we laugh at to learn from.  And that is all I wanted to say.  And the doctrinal teachings of the church are true, even if your sunday school teacher is preaching false doctrine.  another story for another time.
