Follow-up: American Cravings - TV
Filed under: Blogging, Christianity
In a follow up to the previous post on our American Craving for TV, I was reading a post by Clayton Bell on Christian TV and he was polling people on if they watch it or not and why. So I wanted to open up to my readers here and see if we could get some more polling data and see what the consensus is:
Do you watch Christian Television? If so, what do you watch and why? If not, why not?

I don’t have cable, so I don’t watch Christian TV. I do occasionally watch God TV online, although not much recently since I don’t have internet these days either. Although I do sometimes watch God TV at your house!

The following is copy & pasted off of Clayton’s post because I’m lazy. I do admit, it could be better stated and written, but control C it is.

WELL, no, I don’t watch Christian television.
I don’t like it because I don’t like the content.
A lot of what’s popular with say, TBN (they’re the bigger player it seems) is this Word of Faith crap, bless me bless me Lord, look at my cadillac.
It comes across as fake and cheesy.
I can’t stand to hear someone swindling someone like my grandfather out of $1000 because they told them to “sow a seed” so GOD would bless them.
Watching preachers on tv is just boring.
TV shows and such, generally suck. Bad acting, bad story, and it feels forced when the story goes into the someone accepts Christ mode after their life is ruined.
I just don’t watch TV in general. I’d rather do something else, and apparently, there’s a lot of good stuff on tv from what I hear (can’t say I always agree), and if that’s the case, why would I watch sub-par programming when there’s something better.
Broad generalization, but those are my reasons.

Actually, I’ve never watched GOD tv (except at your house during Onething last December), but I’m watching it now. Pretty cool so far, there talking about supernatural things from the Bible. Man, prophecy and miracles are gripping!
