Re: The Sith Lord of Christian Radio
Here in Denver, the local Christian Radio is KRKS and I admit to listening to it most of the time, though not actively. After many debates with jar at Dreamcatcher Forum I finally accepted the idea that evangelical christianity was a business and that yes, christians in America often had a smugness of feeling blessed, special, and anointed. So why do I still listen? It makes me feel good sometimes to hear a sermon from
one of the radio preachers. Besides...the babbling puts me to sleep. The radio is never off in my bedroom.

I would like to know, however, if what goes on in fundamentalist churches is anything like what I hear on those radio stations. I very much hope that is not the case.
Sadly, it is. Folks tend to be drawn toward finding answers and sources of authority rather than questions and content. Folks tend to want to run with the pack rather than think independently for themselves.
Folks like the idea of being blessed and feeling special, rather than rolling up their sleeves, accepting responsibility, and doing their best without being able to blame Satan or the Democrats for their problems in life.
