But, if you look it up, it doesn't say "whatsoever things are good..." Interestingly, the first adjective in that verse is "true." <i>Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.</i> There are plenty of things that are true that are not right or pure or lovely. I think the larger point is that all truth is God's truth. Beyond that, it's a matter of conscience. I hear that Philippians quote tossed around a lot by religious folks.

"Whatsoever things are good, lovely, etc..." As a father, I had to make the decision to block the show from our cable box.
