Opinion 76

On one of the Christian radio stations yesterday: "I remember when television programming started. Each station would come on the air with prayer and devotions. There was no nudity or partial-nudity. No profanity. No inappropriate sexual stuff. Not even an idea of homosexuality, no scenes of sodomy. And the bad guys wore black hats and the good guys wore white".

Followed by a lament that secular programming has led to the downfall of the power of the church in America.

Really, an exercise in completing missing the point. When a group of people has collectively decided to sit down and regularly receive "entertainment" in a passive manner, the content of that entertainment is only an afterthought. The human has already been sold; the door has been opened and culture has walked out - it doesn't much matter what walks in thereafter.
