This strikes me as being very extremist. ------------------"The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly." -Proverbs 15:14 (NIV)

Thread moved here from the The Bible: Accuracy and Inerrancy forum.
I also modified the topic title, adding the "(The evil of television?)" part. Adminnemooseus [This message has been edited by Adminnemooseus, 05-29-2003]

Certainly a rather extremist perspective, but may well be a lot of truth in it also. I have a lot of dubious TV available to me, and I only have what's available via broadcast (no cable or satalite dish).
And a perhaps not unrelated side comment - The Dubya administration, via the FCC, is trying to let the control of TV be concentrated into the hands of even fewer people. In case you don't already know, the head of the FCC, whose first name I don't recall, has the last name of Powell. As in being Colon Powell's nephew. Moose Added by edit - Pay no attention to that "Ad" in front of the "minnemooseus". This was intended as a non-admin message. [This message has been edited by Adminnemooseus, 05-29-2003]

Bigoted?
Maybe I didn't read that article close enough. (I admit I only skimmed it.) What was bigoted about it? Personally, I totally understand why the guy would say what he said. Imagine living in such a way that you really did ask yourself after a show, "Did this show enhance my relationship with and commitment to God?" I really don't know how any Christian, who believes that the greatest command is to "love God with all your soul, strength, heart, and mind," could have a problem with this guy's "heart." Now, I realize NosyNed isn't a Christian, but I am curious about what's "bigoted" about that article. Scary I understand, but it seems consistent with "loving God with all your strength" from a Christian mindset. Is that bigoted?

Here are some quotes from the site in question:
quote: Now I happen to in a general way agree with the overall assessment of the quality of tv. I also most strongly agree with selected bits listed above. However, "mixed swimming"? "rock music"? "leftist liberal slant"? A strong 'hint' of homophobia. I read a bit more into that than you might think is there. But if we talked for awhile to the writer I think I may have hit closer to the truth with the tag "bigot" than any other.

What exactly IS mixed swimming?? Sounds innocent enough.

You just don't have as good an imagination as I do.

What exactly IS mixed swimming?? Sounds innocent enough. I guess they're referring to men and women swimming together. I guess if you believe that no man should ever see a woman's figure or any hint of her body before he's married to one, that could be a bad thing. I guess if you want a society of bad lovers and women in burhkas, that makes sense. Me, bring on the bikinis! And premarital sex, too. You strict-types don't know what you're missing! Especially you unmarried ones.

Seems a bit harsh, don't you think?

I missed the reference to mixed swimming, because it was in the midst of a list, and I wasn't analyzing the list. I always expect anyone like that writer to be anti-Rock Music. I wouldn't allow my kids to go to a rock concert or listen to most rock bands, either, so I'd be with him on the rock music, anyway.
Somehow I also missed the Moscow preparing the news thing. That was pretty funny. That's definitely bigoted. Actually, I guess it's a little funny that mixed swimming is right between nude shows and sodomite steam baths. Wow.

I think it's a terrible shame that they're depriving us of opportunities
