But today, I don't watch that channel. One show in particular that is offensive is Naked and Afraid.
This show has two people stripped of any clothing dropped into some wilderness and they have to survive without clothing, food, or other gear for days. Discovery Channel thinks this is good fare to be shown in late afternoon rather than delegated to an older viewership after 9PM. Showing this much skin in this kind of desperate, survival situation is soft porn, and should be recognized as such by all parents.
What are they thinking? It's bad enough that other nations around the world think nothing of foul language and soft porn in their TV viewing as well as commercials, but why does America have to follow suit? Where is our sense of decency these days? We have become a broken bridge for our children!
Paul told Timothy that in the end times people would be addicted to lust and allergic to God, and that is exactly what is happening. When I think things couldn't possibly get worse, they do. Things get worse in such sick, graphic, and smutty ways.
Christians have become desensitized to foulness. The problem is that there is no way to give back a child's innocence when it is taken away by shows such as this. Will we every wake up?
I cry out to God, "How long, Lord? How long must we sit in this squalor that has become our once proud, Christian nation?"

Gina: I thank you for alerting us to this travesty. This should be something that all Christian parents be made aware of.
Isn't it sad, Cecelia, that parents need to be told what's on and what to beware of? Instead parents use the TV as a babysitter. I mean in a general sense! There are many parents out there who take raising their children and the innocence of their children seriously. For that I am eternally grateful :)
Worse, VH1 has a show called "Dating Naked", a "reality" show where people meat each other nude for a date. Cannot even imagine. Flipping through channels I heard, "I can see right away she doesn't have as good of a body as the first girl, so I'm not sure this will go well," and I'm thinking, "When you make the naked form the primary attention, how could you not expect to have people objectified?" We've managed to come a long way from the original shame of nakedness (Genesis 3).
You know, I had heard about that VH1 show, but I have that channel blocked along with MTV.
And into the muck and mire we slide!
