Did you mean sane in an insane world? I haven't watched TV in 3-4 years so perhaps I am not qualified to make that assessment but I find precious little going on that I would consider, 'sane' particularly when placed up against the Lord's warnings concerning these last days. The world and the churches, 'both' are obsessed with amusements and entertainment and most people cannot even get through a day without spending at least part of it in fantasy land. While the, 'super spiritual' religious delusion manufactured in the COG/Family was truly a gross distortion of the Christian faith it was our own imaginations that held the dream (nightmare)in place. In the occult the imagination itself is considered to be the primary bridge or portal into other worlds (dimensions) where contact is made with demon spirits. That's why they rely on symbols(occult designs)as focus points to enter those realms. Satan keeps thousands of musicians and entertainers quite busy stearing the imaginations of many into these demonic dream worlds. Much of what you see around you in the world is designed to trigger your imagination in ways that oppose godliness. The pornography, the slick ads, the propaganda for war, science fiction, fantasy novels, and unfortunately, a lot of religious services are intentionally devised to manipulate the emotions by way of the imagination. While fantasy can produce a relaxing distraction from the stress around us there are profitable alternatives that do not reguire the mind to depart from reality. Last I heard, there are no TVs in Hell, and I am quite positive that many people there, wouldn't be there, but for their TVs in the first place. But then again I didn't receive that information from the TV so I cannot reference the proper dates or time slots in the,'GUIDE'. Here's one scary cartoon below. Called, 'TV A Blessing or Tool of the Devil'. There are more scary cartoons on that site as well. Oh well, why not, at least they don't charge money to scare you, like they do with horror flics at the theatre. =:o
