Description
Does Chewing Gum During Fasting Ruin Your Gum? Book Description: On the well-intentioned past, the heavily-advertised present, and the deplorable future of the religion of television… Communication theorists compare television to the Roman circus. Nothing should be normal in the circus. Everything should surprise and move the hearts. Bears are made to wear skirts in the circus. Fire comes out of people's mouths. Elephants stand on one leg. The head is put into the mouth of the lions. Poodles dance on their hind legs. Even when talking about religion on television, television cannot be expected to change the rules of the circus. Television does not allow any images or sounds that are restorative, discreet, calm, fair, clear and alive. Can't give! There should also be conflict in religious programs, unusual oddities should come to the fore, fantasy-based erotic insinuations should be made, and never-heard-of superstitions should be expressed. The religious programmer must pay the price for holding on to television. He must strictly comply with all the oddities required to be in the circus. He must find absurd questions in his lap and express the superstitions left in old, musty pages. Audience members rented from the casting agency should be surprised, ashamed, and paralyzed if necessary, in the face of custom-made questions handed to them. He should make full use of the clear credit given to his teaching by the pure-hearted people and bring an audience to the circus. He must masterfully combine agendas ranging from sexual life in Islam to types of torment in the grave, from shroud tying shows to polemics about the wrong time of prayer. In the final analysis, the show is a business! Of course it is “the show must go on!” Otherwise it is not permissible.Dr. Senai Demirci, as a psychotherapist, does a plain language media reading without offending anyone, taking with her behind-the-scenes testimonies. It tries to create a guide that will help our naive people to separate the clear and living religion from the rotten images and dirty noises produced in the name of religion.
