There is plenty of television. There are plenty of talk shows. There are plenty of comedians. But there is not plenty of worship of the true and living God.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To be critical of television is almost like questioning the fact of God's existence.
There is a lot to life, and a lot more than just television to life.
A few years ago you couldn't go from TV to film. It was like a 'no no' but I believe when you find a plan and purpose that God has for your life, there's not anything man can do to you. Especially when your faith is not really standing in the wisdom of man, you're really standing in the wisdom of God.
I've always loved TV very much, and as a child I was so religious with it, but now it's more when it fits in.
These days politics, religion, media seem to get all mixed up. Television became the new religion a long time back and the media has taken over.
The one thing that TV is bad at doing is preaching. There are two extremes, you either turn the people into a punchline or turn them into hero, and both of those things suck, because most people are neither in real life.
What makes a comedian has nothing to do with religion. Think of Red Skelton, Jimmy Durante, Jackie Gleason, who were all Catholics.
When you watch television shows, as good as they are, like 'Joan of Arcadia' and 'Touched by an Angel,' everything is this kind of mishmash of faith but not any specific religion.
TV networks are dying. The death throes of religion give us jihads. The death throes of television give us reality shows.
It's really live television, the way God meant it to be.
