Sinful Technology or Sinful Content?

I would like some of the cons. to pitch in on this debate, if you are willing. Hmmm. This could be one short debate seeing as how there's only three cons. on this forum.

Ok, so I've heard preachers say that they preach against Television because it's an evil device, exc. Others preach against the content (Hollywood, exc.). What is your opinion?

When my dear husband was alive and preaching the Word he taught judgement.

He'd say get off your backside and turn the channel if something offends you or your young ones should not be seeing.

Now that he's gone my kids got extra channels for me and I can watch craft shows and cooking shows that keep me active and learning. I watch some during the day and knit and study God's word at night.

Hasn't affected my daily walk with God. He's as real and dear to me today as he was 30 years ago.

I just hope you manage to change the channel in time. A few seconds makes all the difference!

In your way of thinking you better keep your kids chained in the basement less they hear or see something evil!

....like Billboards along the road, which I suppose are avoidable if you very carefully plan your trip to church and back. Or magazine covers at the grocery store, which again could potentially be avoided by strategic shopping which will keep you a safe distance from that isle. But I suppose to really be completely safe you need to turn your home into the one seen in the movie, People Under the Stairs, where they are all locked in the basement and never allowed to see the light of day, much less leave the house. For their own good you understand.

Like your shaved legs, for instance.

Dear, this granny can move but why be so scared? I see worse at K-Mart on my shopping days. If all it takes is a few seconds to get in your mind and heart you are not walking close enough to your precious Savior.
