think (meditate) on these things.
Does TV do that?
Does hollywood movies do that?
Does having kids read H. Potter do that?
Does being a "fence-straddling" PC religious person do that?
Does telling dirty jokes do that?
When a person focuses on what they know is righteous and pleasing to Jesus, they will find they no longer want the sewage.

The rest of that verse says simply to think on those things. That will keep your mind pure.

positive and praise and thinks that are lovely to think about or worthy to think on

Phillipians 4:8
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

"You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32
Jesus Christ is the truth, only in him, can we have true/eternal life. Our minds/hearts were created to know, love, and serve God! God bless.

Why wouldn't it? All those things come from Christ and are freely given to us. We just have to learn to accept them and use them :D
