r/watchpeopledie is the most horrible and interesting thing I have ever seen.

[Clipper]

I was browsing Reddit and stumbled upon /r/watchpeopledie. Subreddit name should be self explanatory. Either way, I clicked through a link, a forgot which one, and saw what the title suggests. I continued browsing. Most of it was security camera footage, etc. I never realized how fragile the human body was, how terrified or surprised the victims would have been. I never felt disgusted though, at least not for accidents or ones which blame could not be made. It was intriguing and I felt bad for these people but it was just so morbid and intriguing I continued scrolling through. What started as a morbid curiosity transformed into binge-watching the subreddit. I know it is by no means normal, but could this content have a negative effect on my spiritual being? Thank you, and I apologize for the morbid question.

IMO, it is only okay to watch or see death if God told you to kill someone (the Canaanites) or if you are being executed alongside other people or if you are with a loved one which is about to pass away or if you are witnessing a fatal accident or murder.

I believe yes. We are expected to avoid evil, and today watching people die in the most horrible ways is becoming a new hobby for many.

In my country for example, it is growing a lot and many have fun watching it... It is people being burned, executed with rifles and pistols, torture, etc.

 

Watching these kind of things and being comfortable about it, it is like how the world is going nowadays.

"And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold." - Matthew 24:12

terrible things have happened in this world, and these videos testify to this fact - either love or testimonies to the need for overall salvation could touch our hearts and make us work for it - of course the true God doesn't approve (of) bad things, but unfortunately such things have happened to not a few people against His will, and if such frames don't provoke disgust in us and don't trigger a desire in us there to be no more such things happening to our neighbor/cohabitant, then we should ask ourselves the question "where is our love/conscience?!"

I know the Internet YouTube and other sites seemed to have lost any moral high ground it's all about numbers to keep themselves at the top and it's not just young people getting excess to these sort off clips adults are just as interested in these as well , watching it on a lap top or any other device will never give you the sorrow when a friend has died in your arms due to a terrorist ambush or the family's how they cope with loss this is one thing that can't be recorded and viewed ,I,ll say one thing Clipper it was good off you to share this as it has brought insite to what the world classes as entertainment I'm not judging you by any meens but rather I believe sharing and reading the posts above has made you a stronger Christian 

keep the faith Clipper

the strangest thing is that such sites have banned sex/porn content, but allowed real footage of real murder and death captured and terrible scenes of violence as a kind of entertainment, which is much worse than sex/porn content - nevertheless i believe it is better for people to see how bad the murders and death are than to commit murder and show indifference toward the suffering and dying people's need to be saved

Don't watch this videos.  And see people as people not objects of interest. It should be more then dad to see someone die.
