Laughing from Family Guy?

[guitarintro]

This was an episode from Family Guy where Brian, Stewie, and Mort Goldman went back in time during the Nazi era: Road to Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There was a scene where Mort was disguised as a non-Jew Priest and he was saying a bunch of anti-Jew phrases to prove to the Nazis he was not a Jew. He even mentioned something about Jesus. I giggled at that, but then felt a bit guilty and quickly prayed.

If I laughed/giggled at something that was mocking Jews/Jesus, is it forgivable?

Yes.

Thank you for the quick response.

Dear guitarintro. I don`t know the Family Guy, but I know that God sees our hearts. God will know why you laughed, and God will hear your immediate " oh dear," perhaps followed by " I am sorry." God loves us, and knows our true meanings. Greetings from Emmy, your sister in Christ.

A laugh followed by a quick sense of mixed feelings and/or discomfort is probably a good sign. The worldly side of you reacted, but a healthy spirit should weigh in too. The same could be said for racist jokes, or anything else in bad taste. You certainly will be forgiven, but watch that you don't become too desensitized to it.

I decided not to watch programs like that. South Park is one of those programs that uses Jesus in a bad way. I refuse to watch TV Programs that blasphemes God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit and other Christians should do the same. As I would say: "What Would Jesus Watch?" he wouldn't watch Family Guy, The Simpsons, South Park, American Dad. etc. Always make sure you find out for yourself if an animated program will make fun of God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit.

And you know Jesus wouldn't watch this how ?

South Park for example cracks lots of bad jokes. Uplifts lots of bad things. It best you not watch such shows. Although, it is all pretend, I know if Jesus was on earth now, He wouldn't watch any program that will slam or blaspheme Christianity or God himself. I don't even watch South Park or those other shows. Those shows are just to entertain, can you learn from those shows or grow in Christ by watching those shows? Probably not, but it up to you.

Sometimes we need entertainment and nothing more. As God himself said "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven". Being super uptight and having no fun waste your time here on earth. He gave you freewill for a reason. Laugh be Merry and trust in him and you won't fall to the undertows of a simple show.

I agree, we need entertainment, remember that our bodies is the temple of the Holy Spirit and it is important what our eyes sees because if any TV program, movie, or music, or print media goes against God and the Bible, we must be careful of what we see watch, and hear.

We have the freedom to watch anything that we want. Remember we belong to the LORD and we were bought with a price and and we belong to HIM and as the Apostle Paul says: "a bondslave of Jesus Christ." And our bodies was purchased by the blood of Christ and we belong to him. We should watch programs that would testify to who God really is... the true creator of the earth, man, and the universe. "All things were created by him." We were created to serve and worship HIM only. Remember it is important that we don't watch programs that appear to be bad. Just remember this.
