They even censor it in other languages too.

My mom was watching African Magic Igbo and whenever a character said Chukwu, both the audio and the subtitle were censored.

RentALodge:
This is very unnecessary and will further fuel the persecution complex of many believers.

I understand there are different shades in our social evolution that have come to define TV programming for some years now. I know, for instance, that the bleeping of the words “God”, “Jesus”, etc comes in the wake of a raging war in the United States to remove Christian symbols and Bible from the public space.

There is also the attempt to push through minority rights like gay rights on TV but which have only been able to distort otherwise great shows. Don’t get me wrong, I believe that upholding minority rights whether sexual, gender, spiritual or lack thereof is a worthy cause that ought to be fought for, protected and enforced.

However, going to the extremes of classifying words like “God” and “Jesus” as profanities is downright silly and insulting.

oops

I do not see any sense in your comment. If they're going to sensor "God" and "Jesus" they may as well stop all christian networks and TV shows from broadcasting.

Because they know the aspect of business

They run a T.V station where Christians, Atheists and
Christians watches

I don't wanna be watching television and hear someone shouting Allah or God, i don't believe in either of them

Religion is a scam

You don't bring religion into your business that comprises of mixed audiences

The same way you as a Christian would feel uncomfortable watching T.V and someone is shouting "Allah" and "Mohammed" all day is exactly how a Muslim would be uncomfortable seeing someone shouting the name of a dude they don't know or worship

Here in the USA, religion or praying is forbidden in schools/public

Christian and their victim complex. Those words are still being used on TBN,EWTN and other DSTv christian religious channels. The censor is only on Africa Movie channel and the likes, not only christians watch these movie channels, some people of other faith might complain and its only fair and smart for DsTV not to lose its customers by staying neutral.

If you want to hear god and jesus go to christian channels if you would like to see christian films on DsTV you can pressurize DsTV to make one, the way they made igbo channel from pressure.

well the issue is, as holy attributes, those words are always used out of context and is an abuse to those who venerates it. Ordinary everyday conversations should not have us using those words anyhow. Remember they have religious channels, so not entirely antireligion.

You can go to TB Joshua station which is run on the same cable network and reserved for Christians

You don't use God or Allah in a TV show that is opened to the general public of other religions

Do you know what PG13 is or Rated R ?? You're warned that the program is not suitable to all audiences and maybe offensive to some viewers

please which of the dstv channel

please which of the dstv channel

DSTV has censored "GOD" and "JESUS" from all "their" stations, any body that thinks there is still time is just living in delusion, the god of this world is upping his game every day, the days are evil, Christians should start preparing for the coming of the Lord, check your garment every single day, because the time is nearer.

You will only announce yourself as a you know what, if you criticize my comment without practical, viable, and ascertained proof.

Just calling it as it is.

Feel free though to knock yourself out and keep the false hope alive.

Be your guest.

Most religious words are censored on tv, including Allah

alexiej:


But how many times do pple say "allah" on tv? Except its a totally religious program. The fact is "God" and "Jesus" are the most frequently used...
And are u sure uve heard Allah being censored? I doubt it

I don't even have DSTV.

Because they know the aspect of business

Why are you trying to force your religion down other people's throat ??

Does your religion teach you to respect other people's view ??

God or Jesus is the name of who you worship, unfortunately there are other people from other religion that watches that same T.V as you, it is offensive to them

This is a law that guides every T.V station/network in every country

u never notice that one is a mad man?

I strongly believe so ..the devil is a master in diverting the attention of people from God

If the devil is diverting attention of people, Nd god is not doing anything about it, even though he has control over this devil, then he is an accomplice...so why are you even bothered?

The reason why the words are censored is due to the respect South Africans have for the name of God. They do not believe it should be used without reverence. Hence, it is allowed in sermons but not part of exclamations or common conversations.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

Freedom means the freedom to believe in Jesus, Allah or Stonehenge. Atheism is not a neutral setting - it is a belief system equal to any other religion.

The correct action that DSTV, cable and others should take is simple. Give religious programs a rating symbol and preface the program with a warning " Viewers are advised that this program contains references to " God" You can use the parental guidance function to screen out programs you do not wish to watch"

Freedom gives people a chance to watch or listen to what they want. If nude/violent programs come unedited with a warning why should anyone take it upon themselves to edit a program and so make a choice for me?

As a Christian I am confident of the claims of Jesus without needing to ram them down everyone's throat without giving them a choice. Same should apply to religion denying authorities.

Nairaland is no different from a secret society. If you are not strong-Willed,your mind will be Messed up. This is no news-not a big deal,making a mountain out of a molehill. If you like dont publish My post who cares.

The devil gaining ground shouldn't be the concern of a true worshiper of the true God, cos we know how the story ends, and we know who wins. My advice to God's children, never stop longing for the second coming. God is not a man, that He should lie.

Illuminati people mtcheeeeeee

Time for what, which battles are you fighting?

alBHAGDADI:
OP, you beat me to opening this post.

I noticed that few months ago. Every time a character says the word God, they mute that part. Even when there is a subtitle, the word God gets blurred.

Can someone tell me what they find offensive about the word God? They censor a word that doesn't harm the viewing of majority on earth, yet they show movies and music videos with half naked girls shaking their butt and making you feel like it's right in front of you.

This same hypocrites didn't censor the name of a Greek goddess called Athena when they showed Hercules yesterday.

Simple, cancel ur dstv subscription
