God Radio

We lost our local Air America station (again) last week. We originally lost Air America shortly after the 2006 elections. It was supposedly dropped due to a lack of listeners. It was replaced by yet another right wing talk radio format and the stations ratings went off the charts. Literally. The ratings were so abysmal that the station failed to appear in the ratings.

So a year went by and another radio station decided to take a chance on Air America. Despite good ratings, they failed to garner enough advertising revenue and last week they switched to a Christian Radio format.

Let me just say, if you thought right wing radio was rife with nut jobs, Christian Radio brings a whole new level of cuckoo to the airwaves. I thought the Republicans were scary but compared to Christian radio, the right wingers come across as a rational, logical thinking lot.

The hate and nonsense that comes out of these people's mouths in the name of their GOD just blows me away. Dangerous, scary, irresponsible, ridiculous. It's all here.

Whether it is a preacher spewing venom toward gays and lesbians or a preacher telling adult married couples how to conduct their sex lives, the end result is always the same. Act the way we want you to or be rejected by God.

Fear and guilt can be powerful brainwashing tools. But it's all good because every single thing that I do every single moment of every day, I do because it is God's will. So me writing this was all part of God's plan. The preachers on the radio told me so.
