Why Does DSTV Censor The Name Of "God"? by olaric(m): 7:58pm On Dec 15, 2015
Has anyone ever wondered why DSTV censors the name of God every time it is being mentioned by characters in any of the home videos on Africa Magic. Each time an actor/actress wants to mention the name of God, the station censors it even during a subtitle. Maybe someone in the house who knows the reason can give me an answer.

THE WORLD IS GOING ANTI-GOD, EVEN IN NAIRALAND YOU CAN'T WRITE JESUS IN CAPITAL LETTER.

I believe it's because most of them are always using the name of God in vain. Try and watch some christian movies and see if they still censor it.
Words like: `goddamn it!, I swear to god, my god will punish you, for the love of god! etc are some examples of taking the name of God in vain. In short, God's name should only be used when praying, praising, preaching or giving thanks to God.
Just My Candid Opinion tho

Perhaps, you are right; but I wonder if some Christian bodies have written to them privately to put a stop to it.

They don't censor "God".
Because I've watched some christian Nollywood movies on Africa Magic and there was nothing like censoring.

They only do that when "God" is being used as part of a swearword.
That's the only time.
