    Just to PROVE that computers are of the Devil, remember that they communicate internally and externally using the Base 2 (Binary) number system.

    And WE ALL KNOW WHAT BINARY 10100110010 means, don't we!

    Is this REALLY an issue? The straining at gnats is still one apparently. When the world sees so called Christians debating things like t.v., what Jesus would drive and all other matters of personal preference being passed off as "Biblical" doctrines, they have good cause to mark us off as irrelevant and out of touch with both God and man. Let's focus on the cross and the world Jesus loved enough to die for.

    P_Barnes: Yes, television, radio, electricity, antibiotics, internal combustion engines, room-temperature superconductivity and running water are all products of fallible MAN! They are from SATAN and are tools used to make us PRIDEFUL OF INTELLECT and push us farther away from God.

    Then ya better quit EATING! Virtually all our food is also grown & supplied to us by the efforts of fallible man. And it's OF THE WORLD...Generally comes straight outta da ground. God haint sent no MANNA fer awhile now.

    I believe running water was around before man directed it into buildings. I believe it was called RAIN in the old days.

    Like a knife, TV can be used for good or bad.

    JESUS may some day use TV!!

    ...AND EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM...

    TV is a great tool for keeping up with what is happening in the Middle East.
    I just don't let TV run my life - my computer does that! :D

    Should christians watch TV?
    Sure! Watch it fly out the back of a truck doing 90 mph on the freeway! Or watch it explode as someone blasts it with a 12 ga shotgun! Or watch it splatter at the bottom of a hundred foot cliff.
    Or...
    Well you get the idea.
