The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 134
Television Violence were found to glorify violence or use it to entertain. In fact, Saturday
morning cartoons have three times as many acts of violence as prime time television. ABC on
the average has 26 acts of violence per hour in its Saturday morning cartoon programming.”

TV Families
The families portrayed on TV are dysfunctional at best. The adults lie, use foul language,
cheat, steal, show disrespect of others and drinking is common. The children lie, disobey their
parents, show disrespect for their parents, cheat and use profanity. It can be surmised that the
typical family on TV is non-church going, doesn't read their Bible, doesn't pray, and doesn't
know God. Gone are the days of the Waltons, Little House on the Prairie and Bonanza. In these
programs the families prayed, read their Bible and lived by it. Thanks to Hallmark these shows
can still be seen as reruns.
The Blame
The blame is not just on the writers, producers, networks and commercial sponsors; it is
equally shared by the viewers. Commercial sponsors wouldn't sponsor todays trash TV if people
didn't watch it. Sponsors pay for people to see their commercials and if no ones watching, they're
not going to pay. Likewise, even commercial sponsors with a moral conscious can't afford to
sponsor shows if people don't watch them.
While many writers, producers, and network executives may produce and air trash TV
because of their own evil agendas, they are getting rich doing it because people watch it. On the
other hand any Christian who produces a values based program is taking a huge financial risk
because the ratings show that trash TV beats out good values based Christian programs.
The Shows
Its not necessary to name all the programs because if you haven't seen them, you've
probably at least heard about them. But lets name a few. Homosexuality has become a popular
theme. Prior to Ellen DeGeneres coming out of the closet on her hit TV program Ellen, there had
already been twenty-two homosexual characters in TV programming. This began with Soap in
the 1970’s, the shows containing homosexual characters varied from The Simpsons to Melrose
Place. Now of course the airwaves and the minds of our youth are polluted every week by the hit
TV program Will & Grace. Another degenerate program is Queer Eye For the Straight Guy. Of
course the sin of homosexuality is no different than fornication, adultery, murder or the occult,
which are all positively portrayed on TV.
The supernatural is a popular theme in TV programming but the the supernatural power
of God is nearly nonexistent. Christians are often portrayed negatively wile practitioners of the
occult are portrayed in a positive light. Two popular series that promote witchcraft are Sabrina:
The Teenage Witch and Charmed. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition would be a good program
if they didn't dedicate time in almost every program to promote false religions and the occult.
Children's cartoons very frequently deal with the occult and the supernatural. Some of the
cartoons include: Gargoyles, Power Puff Girls, Power Rangers, Fairly OddParents, W.I.T.C.H.,
Danny Phantom, Hi Hi Puffy Amiyumi, Mucha Lucha, Megas XLR, Pokemon.
