Reality – Really?

This particular blog is rated! I’m giving it a “Y” for yuk. You may not even want to read the next paragraph.

Maybe you thought reality TV hit the lowest of the low when “Fear Factor” contestants devoured cockroaches, or when gold diggers paraded their wares in hopes of marrying a millionaire, or when Tila Tequila got a second shot at “love” with 10 guys and 10 girls. Those shows look like “Masterpiece Theater” compared to what’s coming. Take, for instance, “Hurl,” an eating-and-regurgitating competition in which contestants gorge themselves on everything from chicken pot pies to peanut butter sandwiches, then get strapped into spinning contraptions — whoever vomits last wins.

No wonder our society is in trouble when this is the kind of fare that is being blasted into family rooms all over the country night after night. Sometimes I think the silly stuff is less offensive than the soaps (day and night), and unless you’re looking for “really wild,” skip the Spanish TV networks.

The real “reality” is that we are a Nation on the skids. Education is suffering, Truth is unimportant, Character is lacking, and Sensuality floods the population with misinformation, distortion, and decadence. Even the “Church” (so called because it is not the Body of Christ) has succumbed to focusing attention on itself, rather than God.

Continuing to move in this direction will cost us everything! Maybe that is God’s plan for us since we are unwilling to be obedient. Yes, I know there is a remnant–but, I keep remembering that other reality thing– Joshua and Caleb vs. the Ten, in the Promised Land sweepstakes.
