How do we know the theatre is detrimental to morals?

Answered in 1 source

Historical philosophers and biblical teachings consistently denounce the theatre as a source of moral degradation.

The detrimental effects of the theatre on morality have been remarked upon by historical figures such as Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero, who recognized its power to inflame base desires and diminish virtue. They warned that exposure to theatrical performances could lead to a loss of moral clarity and an acceptance of vice disguised as entertainment. Collected scriptural insights, alongside these historical warnings, echo the sentiment that indulging in such amusements compromises one's moral integrity and sanctity before God. In summary, a convergence of theological and historical testimonies confirms the theatre's role in debasing societal values.
