Nope!

You've applied illogic to my logic and came to a quirky conclusion.

But, everybody who logs on to the Internet has pornography available to them.

You see television is advertising, and entertainment, all the way to their Newscasts. Most of the Anti-Television people are not even Christians.

But, most Christians aren't anti-television, so, I'm missing the point of the argument.

Some sinners are anti-television, but most Christians aren't - choose your crowd.

Maple Leaf, so by your above argument, you have purposed that since Network Television can be accessed via the Internet connections, people will watch them as easily as if they had the tube. That would also mean that those who have Internet access are also trolling pornography sites, as easily as if they were watching television?

You've applied illogic to logic again and come up with a pair of inane conclusions.

I have not proposed "that since Network Television can be accessed via the Internet connections, people will watch them as easily as if they had the tube."

I have proposed "that since Network Television can be accessed via the Internet connections, people can watch them as easily as if they had the tube."

This statement: "That would also mean that those who have Internet access are also trolling pornography sites, as easily as if they were watching television?" makes as much sense to me as concluding that because beans give people gas, eating bananas causes monkeys to have long tails.

If you have a television in your home all it gets is network shows.

The Internet doesn't only get network television, just as it doesn't only get pornography. if you have a television in your home its sole purpose is so you can view network programs.

If you have pornographic material in your home it can only be used for one sole purpose, that is to view pornography.

While the Internet has both pornography and network television, no one ever has to view those two things. Yet, if you brought a television and pornographic material in your home, it would be for one purpose.
You could never make a argument that you weren't watching network television or viewing pornography.

If you have Internet you NEVER HAVE TO watch or view network television or pornography.

Having a television and pornographic material is not the same as having Internet.

Network television may be accessed via the Internet connections, but pornography may also be viewed just as easily as viewing it in an adult book store, or magazines in your living room. Therefore do you view pornography?
No, you don't. Do preachers who have the Internet view television programming via Internet connections? No, why would they?

My argument is just because Internet can access thousands of different subjects one needs never to see those subjects. If one has the television he or she is using that for one specific thing, and if you have pornographic material that too is used for only one purpose.

Yup. About as sharp as an oven fresh molasses cookie. (Thank you)

That reminds me (ADD r us) of something that I wanted to add to the "heroes" thread.

"Mary," one of my heroes, suffered with a debilitating case of MS. I watched as it took, first the use of her legs, and then began its insidious process in her arms and upper body. I learned to hate MS as I watched it steal the joy of life from this vibrant lady one inch at a time.

Mary was a faithful lady, a hard working unsung hero. She never preached a sermon or sang a solo, but her portrait hangs in my memory's hall of fame. I watched her care for a dying husband, faithful to the end, to the detriment of her own well being. She had to be lifted, carried, and wheeled into the hospital, but she was determined to be with him, and to care for him until the lingering end, and she did. She was a faithful wife.

After her husband's passing, she continued, by sheer grit, to live in the home that they had shared. She bought a van equipped with a lift, and found a couple who would pick her up for church, and she was there both Sunday services. She was a faithful saint and I will treasure her memory as long as I live.

Anyway, Mary made some of the best molasses cookies that I have ever tasted.

Makes sense to me.

It makes sense right up until somebody with a high speed connection and a 21” flat screen monitor claims that they don’t have a television in their home.

I guess the crux of the matter and a better test of fellowship would be, not, “Do you have a television in your home?” but, “Do you watch television programming?”

And, for the record, I do.

And, I respect those who don’t, but not those who say they don’t and do, or those who say they don’t and cuddle up with their computer and Fox News every night.

BTW, what do you think of the older Yamaha V Max. I finally got the training wheels off of my V Star, and there’s a pretty little ’99 V Max that has caught my eye.
