I've been doing things my whole life that I wouldn't want my mother to see. "God is watching you" is just a threat to keep people in line.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783

Of course God is watching is used as a threat to keep people in line.  But, that doesn't mean He isn't watching.  And the idea of doing stuff you wouldn't want your mother to see comes with an implied caveat:  personal but properly private stuff is obviously exempt. 

My mom is gone, but I wouldn't have wanted her (or anyone else) watching me make love to Bunny, or taking a shower or countless other things that I believe God would approve. 

The point is, having my mom watch me hit on a married woman, or any woman other than my wife, would have been mortifying--and rightly so.  But, because I was taught that lesson early on, I have never needed to envision my mom glaring at me to know that sort of immoral behavior is wrong.  It used to be called sin.  Around my house, it still is.

“I’ve lived the literal meaning of the ‘land of the free’ and ‘home of the brave.’ It’s not corny for me. I feel it in my heart. I feel it in my chest. Even at a ball game, when someone talks during the anthem or doesn’t take off his hat, it pisses me off. I’m not one to be quiet about it, either.”  Chris Kyle

Yep.
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

I have known there was something wrong with him for years.

So did NBC. They just didn't say or do anything about it because you can't piss off the talent (ptui!) or admit that your 'squeaky clean' reputation might take a hit for doing the right thing.
The commies have to keep up appearances ya know...
You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles; but at least they drive slowly past schools.
