Graceless on Christmas Eve ( WHJJ )


              I  make no claim to being a pious soul myself . But

    often enough the VILLAGE ATHEIST type annoys me. Or was he just

    another jerk in the entertainment business ? I am talking about

    the  TALK RADIO fill in for smart,congenial, and popular Arlene

    Violet on Christmas Eve ( WHJJ ).

               Of course the lines went dead. It is one thing to be

    intelligently and politely controversial. It is quite another thing

    to be obnoxious and downright TOXIC.

                 Imagine a guy who finds fault with the humane sentiment:

    " There but for the grace of God go I " !

            A guy who scolds people for not giving a hard earned 20

    dollar bill to a hopeless derelict.

             A guy who seems to believe that every religious person who

    believes in a GOOD God is a dimwit.

              TALK RADIO is an art form , not just a forum for cranks.

    And that guy -who even maliciously mispronounced Arlene Violet's

    name - should be shown the door.

                Believing that EVIL is just  EGO, he was hardly egoless

    himself in thinking the majority of his listeners morons in their

    religious faith.

               As a ratings gimmick in your face PROFUNDITY flunks

    miserably.

               Rudeness and disrespect should not be the norm for

    TALK RADIO !

               Carl Sagan handled the science vs. faith controversy

    with great tact and sensitivity. View the movie " Contact " or

    read the novel.
