Perhaps I am not understanding your point, but it seems that you are saying we should all meditate about God 24/7 in order to be holy. There is a story that sort of relates to this, in my textbook from religion class.
“There was a woman who was filled with love for God. She was known to be religious and devout, and every morning she walked along the city streets on her way to church. As she walked, children called to her for a kind word, and hungry and homeless people pleaded for help. But the woman was so immersed in the love of God that she did not see or hear them.
One day she approached the church just as the service was scheduled to begin. It was early morning. Some were sleeping; others were just waking up. She opened the church door and walked in, expecting to see the long, narrow aisle and endless rows of pews. But instead, she was amazed that the inside of the church seemed to be a mirror image of the outside world she had just left behind. She stood at the top of the steps, looking down at the same needy children and homeless people she had passed moments before. Why, she wondered, were they here to greet her?
A child spoke, ‘Every day, God has been waiting for you—not just in the church but in all of us who need you.’
• The story says the woman was ‘filled with love for God.’ Do you think that was true?”
Now, that doesn’t exactly have to do with this topic, but I was responding to the part where you call it a sin whenever we take our mind off God. As in, we’re sinning whenever we’re not meditating.
I don’t believe it is a sin to watch those shows for entertainment. It’s one thing to be like, “oh this is interesting, I like it,” and other to be like, “murderers are so cool I wanna be one! Look at the suffering!”
