"You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain." (Exodus 20:7)

Most of us have watched T.V. grow from infancy to "adultery." It's interesting to note that when it was made in 1946, the script of the classic Christmas movie "It's a Wonderful Life," -- starring Jimmy Stewart -- had the following words deleted: "jerk," "lousy," "God," "dang," "impotent," and "garlic eaters." These words were censored from the original script because they were deemed unacceptable at that time for movie audiences. (From Associated Press, 3-20-90)

Certainly, the morals in this country have been in a rapid spiral downward in the last several years. The vulgarity, profanity, and vain use of God's name in modern movies and TV is disgraceful, to say the least. The movie industry tells us they are only giving what the people want. However, it appears they are going to extremes to see how much profanity, nudity, and violence they can pass off on the people.
