do you watch any "educational" television? i'm actually not trying to insult you, but there are thousands of educational programs out there which basically go against your beliefs, such as evolution and the world being more than 6000 yrs old etc.
do you ever watch them? what do you think about them?

oregon flower - i use fundie in a positive way, i assure you. my fundie friends in here know i love them. i'm just to lazy to type out the long version (and there weren't enough characters allowed)

sparkles - i think you took the question out of context. it society it's called educational tv, but it does go against a fundie's view of the world

Absolutely, because the natural world is the expression and creation of the ONE TRUE LIVING GOD.
when i observe the natural order of things it reveals a deeper spiritual truth.
When i see how amazingly everything works together i am in awe that the Creator of the Universe and all that is in it
loves us
Shalom

Oh it would have to be Animal Planet all the way. But I do like Discovery Channel and National Geographic also. They have different shows on those Channels, and it depends on what we all are in the mood for. I am not into the History Channel much..but cannot say I do not like it.

I watch them and I think they have some wrong information. I have watched some shows that talk about Christianity and they have some very wrong information being presented, basic stuff that is very easy to look up. If they are wrong there, it is safe to believe they are wrong elsewhere. Everyone has an agenda, so everything you see on tv must be given further study before you file it under fact in your brain.
There are also many scientists with just as many credentials that disagree with the evolution scientists. The only difference is that one side is open minded enough to consider that God is right, and one isn't. I'd rather listen to an open minded scientist than one who excludes those conclusions he doesn't want to believe.

As an animal lover, I watch Animal Planet all the time. God made the animals on the fifth & sixth days of creation (Genesis 1:24-25). So what's your point?
And re. your use of fundie was in a positive way? That's laughable. Why didn't you just omit the word "fundie" all together and just address your question to all Christians, esp. if you were so concerned about how many characters were allowed? Your whole question is rather condescending.

I am an atheist and I watch those channels. However, I would hardly hold them up as champions of science. Well, at least not the History Channel.
The History Channel brings us such zingers as "Mysteries of the Garden of Eden", "Haunted History" and a whole multitude of UFO shows presented in the most credulous light possible. Add to that the world-ending speculation of "Mega Disasters" and you have a channel that's really no better than any other crap network.

Riegan,
I am open enough to watch such things. I do not agree with everything that I read, hear, and watch. That is what makes this world so much fun... We can all have a different way of looking at things and still get along. YOU are such a wonderful young lady! You and I do not agree on religious matters but that does not affect whether or not I read your questions or answers. Have a wonderful week.
Thank YOU,
Eds

I was told in emails recently that the History Channel has an agenda. This was during the Noah's Ark discussions, and the individual (who was very polite btw) sent me some creationist links.
Honestly, I was surprised that anyone would say that. I've seen no religious or anti religious bias on the History Channel. In fact, I've seen a fairly middle of the road delivery on any topic they approach, and explain the facts and fictions presented.
But, if it conflicts with belief, I guess some people will dismiss it...regardless of how obvious they make it.

I don't guess I can be considered a "fundie", but I am a Christian. The educational channels are the most watched in my household.
It disturbs me a bit to see people like you, who I enjoy, seeming to think that anyone who believes differently is uneducated or needs to be told that there is "educational television". . . it always saddens me.
EDIT: Thanks for taking the time to clear things up for me. I apologize for misunderstanding your intentions. Peace. : )

Too bad c&c isn't around right now. I'm pretty sure she watches a lot of the Discovery channel and History channel.
I watch those channels (not national geographic because I don't get it) but I'm not a fundie Christian, so I guess that doesn't count.

Yup, I watch much of the programming from those channels. In fact, it's better than regular network TV.
And no, so far, I haven't seen anything that goes against Christian beliefs.
However, your demeaning term of "fundie" is definitely considered Christian bashing. Not attractive, dear one!
God bless!
