Violent media distorts our perception of God’s good world

Nathaniel Hunter writes that violent media distorts how people perceive the world created by God. In an article for U.S. Catholic, Hunter argues that scenes of killing on film and television frighten audiences into believing the world is inherently terrifying.

Hunter suggests that constant exposure to such content creates a false sense that danger is everywhere and that people should be untrusting of others. He notes that viewers often consume these shocking and tormenting scenes of violence as a form of fascination.
