Welcome to Gaia! ::

well I would say it depends on what they teach and alll that stuff and what they show and do as well I believe.

isn't that the same thing as

you put God first before everything else?

You can enjoy them, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that we should "love" them; if you find yourself "obsessing" over it, that smells like trouble. And really, we should spend more time doing godly things (edifying each other, serving humankind, praising YHWH, studying/meditating on his word, spending time with him in prayer, making & maintaining the peace, etc...), than on the worldly; we can engage in games and watch TV/movies though.

Personally, I've given up a lot of TV shows because they're just overwhelmingly sinful. Certain shows just want their audience feeling lustful, angry or terrified; they glorify lying, murder and magic as if it's the right/fun/exciting thing to do. I would feel so "drained" after watching these shows that I use to enjoy. Each character was choosing to do wrong (now that I recognized what wrong was) and I would be thinking to myself "if only you knew so-and-so command, you wouldn't be suffering right now, you could've avoided all that misery". Episode after episode their behavior and circumstances just got worse, so I decided not to sit through their torture anymore and gave it up.

Even though I wasn't "bowing down" to these shows in the sense of molding my beliefs and morality according to their ideals, I could spend 5+ hours on entertainment every day, whereas I only dedicated an hour (and sometimes not even the full hour) to godly things (to study/read the bible, to pray, or go help someone in need). Now it's the total opposite, I can easily spend 5 hours straight just studying biblical things and I can go days without playing a game. Honestly, I don't even enjoy those games anymore; I can only tolerate casual FB games that literally take up 5 minutes of my time lol.



I don't love entertainment anymore like I use to; my TV isn't even connected right now and I uninstalled games that I use to spend whole days playing. YHWH is what's on my mind most of the time, whereas before I'd be thinking about fictional characters and their fictional worlds, to the point that I wanted to live in their world.
