I beg your pardon for my long posts, they must seem quite boorish. Brevity is the hallmark of a good writer, and sadly I am nothing of the sort.

There is no kind of wickedness a saint cannot understand without partaking in it personally. That would be an excuse to partake in wickedness.

I’m all for Godly media and have nothing against the technology itself.

If a follower of Jesus experiences something, and after comparing it to what is written in the Bible finds it in agreement, then is it unusual that they would like it? If they find it in disagreement, wouldn’t they be ashamed of themselves, want to know why they like it, and how to stop liking it? Wouldn’t they be fearful of God’s wrath if they in any way expose others to it, or speak highly of it in public? If they don’t care, or try to twist Scripture or the meaning of words so that the experience no longer “seems” to contradict the words in the Bible, wouldn’t that mean the experience is an idol?

I ask your forgiveness for speaking in compete ignorance here, as I don’t know anything about the shows you mentioned. Are the characters in the show people you look up to and long to emulate for their Godly character?

I’m not trying to tell you not to eat the meat of idols.
