Hedonistic culture existed long before the Grammys ever came into existence.

What do you have against faux news. Can you detail all the lies they've told? How about just a few?

Either. Bad behavior isn't justified by other bad behavior.

I think if God decides to bring down His wrath (*), it's not going to be due to a bad awards show.

(*) Romans seems to indicate that God's wrath is generally something like Hims saying, "Oh...that's what you want? Fine then. You can have it." His mercy would be making "that" blow up in your face.

I'm not as enlightened as some here, but do understand that the show in question simply reflects the cultural values of some in the recording industry. Gods wrath is reserved for God....and I'm good with that! The values expressed are contrary to Biblical values as a whole...which I'm sure even someone as enlightened as you would agree!

It's a shoot the messenger mentality which must be resorted to when the facts oppose your view.

So long as the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences is allowed to identify the apex of our musical talents, history will know that in 2014 we honored “c*cks”  “motherf*ckers” and “sh*t.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Send in the clowns.

Seems they got this one right....

Sure. But I'd say that half of the values encouraged by many churches are contrary to Biblical values as a whole, so I don't see a big difference between two very often.

Surely you know that my post was not about a bad awards ceremony...and certainly you don't believe that God will not be active in His judgment for our disobedience...or maybe I am wrong about what you think...that's always a possibility.

I'm not familiar with churches that encourage perversion....but IF they do, I'm against it! Unlike some, I'm not defending either!

You aren't familiar with any churches that embrace empirism (described as nationalism)? You aren't familiar with any churches that stress "bootstraps economics" for the poor?  Or churches that seek to divide the Body over trivial issues? Or churches that promote (implicitly or explicitly) racism. Many churches practice a form of Marcionism-lite. Gnosticism is rampant in the church. I could go on if you'd like...

If that's true, I'm against it....but that doesn't have any reflection on the point of the OP!

There are others but they really bashed Obama for overstating the number of states in the US.

Pledge of Allegiance "outlawed" in Sioux Falls:

Pledge of Allegiance controversy prompts debate

Yet full disclosure says otherwise:

…we wanted to make it clear that at the high school level, we do not… there’s not always an opportunity to have the Pledge Of Allegiance spoken every day. We don’t have home rooms. But we do have assemblies, and the principals that were in the discussion with us really said that, or they talked about the assemblies and how it’s a much more somber moment during their assemblies when everyone is in the room — all the students are in the assembly hall. And that the Junior ROTC programs do a presentation of colors, and they do other patriotic activities during that time. And it’s a much easier time at the high school level, because again like I said it’s when all the students are assembled in one place. We did clarify in the policy that we, that the Pledge Of Allegiance is performed each day at the middle school and at the elementary level.

I can go on and on and perhaps someday I might. My point is that they are exactly like the liberal media outlets in that they are NOT fair and balanced and spin things out of control. Are they a legitimate news source or are they simply news commentators? What is the last major news story that was broken by Fox News first? (Maybe there is some, just don't know of any.)

They are just as hypocritical as the other news sources.

Don't bother, they're here.  ;D
