Good art can harm people only in the way that true religion can harm
people. It may make them feel uncomfortable, but so does true
religion. The way a person may feel should take back seat to the idea
that maybe the audience should be made to feel the way they will.

Granted, the above attitude is probably not the way to go if you
intend on selling a lot of copies of your book or if you want people
to come see your LDS film.
