Media / Religion Do You Hate Yourself? Part 2

Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, May 18, 2009 at 2:21 PM

The LDS Newsroom informs us that today the LDS Church has launched The Mormon Channel, a free 24-hour-a-day internet radio station that is billed as "The Official Radio Station of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints." Here are some shows:

The Light of Men

The Light of Men is a series of radio dramas, airing regularly, depicting the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. Through intriguing and inspirational dramatization, these programs will introduce the listener to the places Jesus walked, the doctrine he taught, the people with whom he lived and travelled, and the conflicts and opposition that eventually led to his trial, his death, and his glorious resurrection.

and

History of Hymns

History of Hymns investigates the inception and the evolution of the hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The episodes include history and progression of the music as well as the text. The program features interesting stories surrounding the creators and others involved in the evolution of the hymn bringing listeners up to date. Also included are interesting stories surrounding the performance or inclusion of the hymn in a variety of settings.

I've been listening to it for a few minutes now. It's like a really boring NPR with a hard-on for God. Step it up, Scientologists! You're on notice; where's your radio station?

Although I didn't think it was possible, that fucked up church has just gotten even MORE cult-like.

any Catholic stuff on the air you all give a favorable review to?

Holy Rollers in living color?

by the way, the Mormons, as a good investment, have owned tons of radio and TV stations for the better part of 50 years ... old news ... and they pay taxes like any business.

Both TV and radio are loaded with church propaganda of all stripes - I find it all very boring and time wasting - any of it.

The comparison to NPR is interesting, since NPR is "The Official Radio Station Of Liberal Secular Humanism".

Gee, maybe they'll go to Missouri to do a documentary on the Garden of Eden.

Fucking whackadoodles.

Those religious nuts have been polluting the airwaves for as long as I can remember. They haven't convinced me of anything but their stupidity.

Where've you been? They already have their own TV channel (available on comcast digital!)

Please don't wish the Scientologists on us. We have enough cults on the air.

@3 ----Who the hell told you that? In your dreams. No liberal has listened or contributed stories of any length to NPR for well over a decade, probably more.
