Why Has Dstv Filtered GOD Out Of It's Channels? by jeffizy(m): 8:27am On Jul 06, 2014
Topic might sound confusing, but pardon moi.
Couldn't get any easier choice to describe my observation.


It happens that when any program airs on dstv, mention of the name of GOD is instantly voice blocked.
It is called filtering. And usually , it is put in place to block profanity .
How come the name of God has been grouped among profanity words to filter on dstv.?

Kinda mind boggling.

I've noticed it but I just think they're r trying to follow one of God's commandments which says 'thou shall not call my name in vain'.

That's true. You know some people use it in instances like "Goddammit" etc, and that's offensive.

On a second thought, I think they just want to appear as secular . So as not to be seen as religious biased. IMO.
Reason they created Islamic and Christian dedicated channels for individual following.
