Is National Geographic an anti Catholic channel?

[totsie79]

---

it's a mere documentary presentation about what they have recently just discovered. i dont see a bit of insinuating a revolutionary act against everyone's belief here by the natgeo channel. they simply just presented facts from their dicoveries. they never meant to threaten a specific religion here. these are decisive information that we have been blinded from knowing it. and i guess we deserve to know these facts.Â*

I guess people are bored and want to see something that'll pique their interest and keep them stuck on NGC and nothing is more interesting than knowing the "unknown".Â* NGC, IMHO is not anti-catholic, in fact, I don't think religion was even considered in the creation of this channel. It's about interesting documentaries.

Here's a simple exercise that Catholic fanatics may want to try when they don't want to watch an "anti-catholic" channel...

step 1. pick up the remote control
step 2. change the channel

Just because we are a Catholic dominant country means that we have every right to shove down the throats of others what we think is "right".

Im basing my observation on the way NGC is presenting the views of its religious discoveries. Most of the time, only the so called "experts" against Catholicism are given intensive exposure. The ideas are predominantly anti Catholic. Its not a fair presentation of the shows.

NGC is no expert in religion. These things the gospels mut be presented in a manner with religious approach not factual because being spiritual in nature these things should be discussed mindful of the religious implications of the faithful.

What NGC is doing is that its more concentrated on the facts and then, lacking in any insight about religious beliefs, they resort to surmises, conjectures and a lot of guess work as to what the discoveries mean. Yet they have no honest intention to give the Catholic Church a time to explain those discoveries. They present the finding, make a guess work and then leave the viewers hanging. But they already sent the message across. That catholicism is one big fake religion.

NGC should concentrate on featuring lions chasing deers thing.

Here's the thing, you saw the documentary with, admit it or not, biased views regarding Catholicism. When NGC presented these documentaries they concentrated on the topic and not dwell on any other issues such as Catholicism and it's implications regarding the Catholic faith.

As I've said, religion was not considered in the making of this documentaries.

doc·u·men·ta·ry
Pronunciation: "dä-ky&-'men-t&-rE, -'men-trE
Function: adjective
1 : being or consisting of documents : contained or certified in writing <documentary evidence>
2 : of, relating to, or employing documentation in literature or art; broadly : FACTUAL, OBJECTIVE


A documentary film is based on FACTS and OBJECTIVE research. In fact, I question the religious approach that you present here. Why must NGC consider only one religion? Why must NGC consider ANY religion in ANY of it's documentaries? or be "mindful of the spiritual implications of it's faithful"?

Have you even thought that if any of these were considered that these documentaries would not be shown? or it may become a propaganda for a certain religion?

Religions are biased by nature, that is understandable.

How did you know that they did a lot of guess work? and resulted to surmises? are you an expert in religion? or is this also based on your observation?

These documentaries were presented to the public because people HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW that such documents exist and do so without prejudice.

documentaries are presented with a conclusion that it's up to the viewers to believe it or not because most are debatable. so just be neutral

I beg to disagree. NGC has benn putting spins on their programs. These things, the lost gospels, are there thousands of years. Why does NGC present it as something "newly discovered?" That the Catholic Church is hiding something. For me that is very foul, and misleading.

With regards to the point that NGC must inject something spiritual in it, this has basis. When NGC features Islam or Hindu, they are respectful but when it features Catholicism the unfairness and the bias is there.

Religion is not about facts alone. To feature catholic beliefs based on facts alone is misleading. The facts can be twisted and can be spun to put the Catholic faith in a bad light. This has been what NGC has been doing. NGC is part of the grand plot to destroy the Catholic Church.

[pnoize]

How many people in the entire world actually know the existence of the Lost Gospels? NGC didn't even talk about the other gospels, it concentrated on the Gospel of Judas. Why? Simple, Judas Escariot was an apostle that was portrayed as a traitor and it would be more interesting to talk about his "Lost Gospel" than say The Gospel of Mary Madalene or the other better known gospels and the twist that it was not considered to be part of the canonical gospels.

Religion is not about facts but we are not talking about religion here. We are talking about DOCUMENTARY FILMS particularly that of NGC's.

NGC being part of a grand plot to destroy the Catholic Church is probably the most ridiculous thing I've read in this thread....Wait....maybe they're also after taking over the whole world through subliminal messages hidden through a complicated and technologically encrypted programs. OH NO! What will we do now?!

[exudos]

hahah and second on pnoize...

@mosi
r u jst being paranoid and created a FEAR WALL...?

turn off that tv if u dnt want to here more truth... but if ur questioning their facts, do some research... being aware is better than lying to urself

[Freeza]
