The first commandment. The first commandment is You shall have no other gods before me. In many films and TV shows the protagonist or main characters are atheists. They make remarks like "There is no God" and the writers try to convince viewers that these characters are right because they get out of every situation they find themselves in and are regularly right in their theories or ideas. These characters are the “cool kids,” so they want viewers to believe them. They make characters who believe in God seem silly. When I watch a movie or TV show that expresses this view, I'm tempted to believe it. In my sinful nature I want to believe that God doesn't exist, so that I can do the things he forbids my gods. These gods come in the form of money, pleasure, revenge, and pretty much anything (revenge seems to be the common theme in every action movie). I want to believe that God doesn't exist, so I can make worldly things my gods. But for me the even bigger danger may be that television becomes my idol. I can be guilty of giving TV more credit than it actually deserves. If I spend too much time watching TV, it becomes my idol. If I pay more attention to television than to God, then television will be my god and my idol. The TV tempts me to break the first commandment by tempting me to turn the things of the world into my god and the TV itself tempts me to turn it into an idol and a god. The second commandment. The second commandment is, that you shall not make for yourself any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth below, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow down to them, nor you will serve them, because I, the Lord your God, am a jeal......middle of paper......ic and private worship of God (the Sabbath), but that we should also work hard and complete all the our work on the other six days of the week. Although perhaps not understood at first glance, this command clearly prohibits non-work and indolence as it says "You shall work for six days and do all your work." This is a much overlooked aspect of this commandment. TV and entertainment can distract me from my work (school, household chores) and therefore I do not do my work as this commandment dictates. TV and other entertainment also push me not to want to work but to have fun all day. TV and entertainment tempt me to stay idle and enjoy my free time when I have to work during the week. So the TV incites me to break this commandment by distracting me and my mind during the Sabbath day, when my thoughts should be directed toward God, and promoting sloth..
