If displays of immorality tempt you to such a point that you’re at risk of engaging in immoral acts yourself, then avoid that particular temptation. We all have weaknesses and abiding challenges. If it doesn’t tempt you, then in my mind it’s not a problem to indulge in moderation. “Game Of Thrones” is exceedingly well done, from the perfect casting to the props to the sets to the locations to the script. Yes, there are gratuitous displays of sex and violence. You understand your own tolerance level and ability to resist temptation, I’d assume. Avoid it if it’s too much.

You stated the obvious so much more eloquently than my contribution

That is why we have on/off switches and channel selectors.

If you don’t want to watch it. Don’t.

If I want to watch it, (which I don’t) then don’t ‘justify’ yourself by banning it from me.

I never got to see ‘From Here to Eternity’ until I was in my 40s as when it came out the Legion of Decency banned it, my ship didn’t get the ‘newer’ movies right away, then as I got older TV interfered with my drinking.

And NOTHING was allowed to come between me and my drinking.

Old proverb

WORK -THE CURSE OF THE DRINKING CLASS

(I chose work <: <:)
