Morally Asleep

The minister's sermon was talking about for most of society we are "morallyasleep" - guess he's right. He used as an example the fact that he upgraded his tv recently and was given HBO and some other channel three months for free. He said he wasn't blind to the many changes that have taken place, but he said to see and hear it in his own home was a different matter. He was talking about the crude language, nudity, sex, etc. - I guess he had the cable people to remove it.

There are some terrible things on TV but it is like lots of things: shouldn't we be disciplined enough to keep from watching them: and the pay channels that he is talking about, they are expensive and although he was looking at them as an enticement, still should we take away people's freedom to look if they pay. It is a slippery slope and one that we really have to be careful about: when you start being the morals police, where do you stop? I don't think most folks are morally asleep; life is often complicated and not black and white other than to the fundamentalists who say it is black and white based on their interpretation. The fundamentalists become the morals police. This is a very simplistic and easy way to live in a sense. Very tricky in so many ways.
