tolerance?

i am finding that i am becoming less and less tolerant of the things of this world.
it is absolutely and most definitely a shame that i can't turn on my tv without being influenced by sexuality, drug abuse, terrorism, gay marriage, abortion, and things of the like. does this not disturb anyone anymore? i feel greatly convicted when i watch anything on the big screen anymore. even the simplest of children's cartoons have been infiltrated with subliminal thoughts (a man being pregnant, wizards and warlocks). tell me this is okay with you.

because it is NOT okay with me.

i can make a change. if christians would raise their standards and stop watching things they should feel convicted about, instead of just talking about feeling convicted...hollywood would have no choice but to meet our demands for a safe environment to raise this next generation in. i am thoroughly disturbed that we feel like religious tolerance is the only answer to get people to love God. but if we are living to make them want something, and we're not living to be more like Him, they're gonna see through the charade anyway. they don't want an act. if we truly love God, we'll have this peace unspeakable and this joy unfathomable. we are being biased against, no matter what the culture says. it's appropriate to have a gay pride day in schools, it's alright to talk about drugs and getting laid, it's okay to listen to lyrics that provoke sexuality. but it is an offense of multiple sorts to talk about God in schools? why? because it offends the flesh. that's what people have a problem with. it's not the hypocracy (although we cannot deny the fact that it exists). it's not the double life that some lead (but it's true). it's not even the way the "religious services" are run. the problem is, the word offends the flesh, and the flesh has been allowed to have full rule and reign over this country and even this world. and that hasn't been okay with me, it's not okay with me, and i guarantee you that it will NEVER be okay with me.
