This is a great quetsion, that I would love to discuss as well. I have always believed that watching any show is fine, but I have started to think about this more and my mind has started to change.

South Park makes fun of Jesus and the Christian faith at times, and I absalutely hate that. It gives an image of Jesus that is completely wrong and I don't want to support them. Would watching the show be considered supporting? Not sure. I guess it depends on your definition.

I would love to hear what you and others have to say on this topic.

Does it honour or glorify God? And would you be willing to watch it with Christ next to you in the same room? And if your answer is in the negative or is 'No': Perhaps, you ought to refrain from watching the show.

I used to watch shows like family guy etc.. But with south park, which openly mocks Jesus, think about it like this...

If someone made a show which mocked and insulted your mother, would you think it's okay to watch it?

Probably not. So why would it be okay if they are doing it to your Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who you should love more than anyone?

I'm not okay with these shows and I have decided to no longer watch any of them. Not only do they mock our faith but they corrupt children by presenting themselves in a cartoon style, which draws kids in, then fill their brain with evil ideas and content.

The show is a lot deeper than most people notice at a glance. If you have a decent sense of humor it's hard to not die laughing at most episodes.

When I hadn't watched it I thought it was just stupid cussing kids. After I saw a few episodes I realized its about the funniest show there is.

Before i was reborn used to watch very long time ago..but now i wouldn't watch such shows like South Park,beavis and Butthead or Family guy..It's stupid cartoon... and it insults christians...and use not good language

The show uses extremes in order to convey a message. It's definitely not for everyone.
