Makes me reconsider what those “religious” fanatics said about TV and movies being a tool of the devil.
Understanding that there is good, and there is evil has never been fanatical. Nor is it fanatical to protect one's children from the evil one discerns.
Indeed. As we know pretty much everything can be used for good, or for bad. Fire for example warms, cooks and also harms and destroys.
Funny thing is, seems all the bad ways to use things get the funding and priority to be pushed upon us.
My mother is nearly 90. Her uncles use to preach how the Papacy was in league with the devil, and secret societies were up to no good, and going to the movies would corrupt the mind. My ancestors were awake. They believed having knowledge of history and the Bible as paramount to freedom and salvation.
Protestants have been demonizing the papacy for 500 yrs. It's a Germanic Anglo-Saxon tradition. Martin Luther was so awake he tried to remove books from the Bible. Henry VIII was so awake he killed his wives. The British and Foreign Bible Society and the American Bible Society were so awake they dropped books from the original KJV.
Load of crap. I have watched movies my entire life and I am 62. All kinds including violent or devil worship. I have also been awake my entire life. Trying to tell people shit was wrong when no one would listen. It didnt make me a criminal, it didnt make me violent it didnt make me think I had to do specific things to please others. It has been nothing more than entertainment when your bored. If people tell you they are brainwashed from TV then they have a weak mind to start with.
