I learned all the morals I have from TV...It's OK to steal, cheat, lie, park where I want, break in, sleep around, hurt others (physically and mentally), be promiscuous, carry a gun (shooting people barely hurts them), kiss anyone at anytime, police are stupid, speed anywhere I want (no one ever gets hurt), cheat on my spouse.....thanks to TV, I just do whatever I want.

it depends on the person. some people don't like what TV says at all. The question is whether you trust tv or not. If you do like tv, then there could be a show, like a movie or something which depicts some moral value so nicely that you like to follow it.
But the moment you say "c' mon, it is just a tv show, crab, ****" then, yes TV cannot do anything.
Also it depends on the age. At a much younger age, tv show mey influenze you more than at an older age.
So it depends on many factors. Now you take the queue from here and start thinking on your own.

For most people, moral behavior is simply "getting along" in society. Moral behavior is society-acceptable behavior. So watching to see what others do determines their standard for morality. If others cheat on their income tax and get away with it then they will cheat, for example.
Someone once said that 10% of any society will always do the right thing and that 10% will always do the evil thing and that the rest of society watches to see what happens to the other 20%.
So if TV alters our perception about what is acceptable behavior, then it alters moral behavior.

i'd say that needless to say god can not behave immorally if he would not exist. yet while god is as defined by utilising maximum religions, then he's finished some issues that any sane individual would locate appalling. of course, the believers do not desire to pay attention that. I asked a query very corresponding to this as quickly as. My well-liked answer replaced into thoroughly logical, yet thoroughly rejected by utilising the truthful: answer from Alan: "If there are Absolute regulations of Morality then they're absolute for each physique at everytime no depend what. in any different case the are relativistic morality. So, sure, by utilising any rational thinking that i will think of, god would desire to be concern to his own regulations. This sees to be a huge challenge in case you study the bible, huh ?"

you learn your morals from your family, but shows like veggietales help to reinforce those values. also there's a channel that's called GBN Gospel Broadcasting Network. it's completely different from all the other "Bible Based" networks. not a single program asks you to send money. they are just there to teach from the Bible--no additions, no subtractions. there are a few kids programs on there too. these also help to reinforce the moral behaviors/values that are taught in the home.

No not at all. You learn moral behaviors from your family.
