And it's really annoying to change the station on a non-digital tuner. *grumble*

I understand what you mean stacer. It's so easy to just sit in front of the TV all evening. I've taken to recording one show that I like (it's on at 7 in the morning) and that's my hour of TV. I really like to crochet while watching TV. At least I haven't wasted brain cells and time.

Every show I watch seems to take the name of God in vain in one way or another

I thought the law was not to say it yourself, not to not listen to others say it.

I don't care, as I assume most of you can guess. Especially saint.

Well a lot of people are like me, and if they hear it all the time, they think it, or say it when they're not thinking.

[stacer]

Yeah, I catch myself thinking it from time to time because I hear it so often. I'm just saying that it would be nice if it weren't so prevalent on TV. But then again, I'm wasting my brain away with TV, period, which is why I've been turning it off more often lately. Saves the annoyance in the language, and I find I'm doing other interesting things. Things that (oh, the horror!) don't waste time.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

the way it really works is this:

You're not supposed to say it because it's offensive to God.
If you're following the laws for the right reasons, you come to have a personal love for God.
Therefore, when someone does something that offends God, it bothers you.

Hence hearing it, even on a non-practical level, is annoying.
