I have never been one to watch "reality" TV shows. Seems each new show that surfaces moves farther and farther from reality (definition is "state or quality of being real; a real thing or fact"). Not to mention that they keep sinking to lower and more tasteless depths. But the commercial I saw recently for one called "Moment of Truth" takes the cake.
During this "game show" contestants are hooked up to lie detectors and then asked intensely personal and potentially devestating questions. All the questions seem designed to wreak destruction on all that seems to be decent in the contestants lives. Of course the goal of the program is MONEY, at the expense of your personal relationships. How uplifting...
Is this entertainment? Have we become so insensitive, indifferent and unsympathetic that we see this as funny? Is there a better way to spend our time? Next time this or any of the other "reality" shows come on...think about it, is there something more worthwhile you could be doing? Is this a way to spread the love of Christ in our world? Obviously if this is talked about at school or work the next day, you won't know the answers but do you really want to?
