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.
