Trying to have a discussion with anyone on a matter of faith is as productive as yelling at a brick wall.

All it accomplishes is to make you look like an idiot.

That is all…

From the Boston Herald:

Divine intervention axes school station

Today’s lesson: Don’t cross Christian broadcasting.

Maynard High School’s radio frequency, 91.7 FM, is being seized by a network of Christian broadcasting stations that the Federal Communications Commission has ruled is a better use of the public airwaves.

“People are furious,” said faculty adviser Joe Magno.

Maynard High’s WAVM, which has been broadcasting from the school for 35 years, found itself in this David vs. Goliath battle when it applied to increase its transmitter signal from 10 to 250 watts.

According to Magno, that “opens the floodgates for any other station to challenge the station’s license and take its frequency.”

Read the rest at the source.

The article does not discuss some of the implications of this action, such as how an ostensibly “Christian” organization is behaving in a most unChristian manner.

I often wonder if those well-meaning, devout individuals who support “Christian” groups such as this truly understand what their money is buying.

Somehow, I suspect they do not, to the detriment of Christianity.

Thanks to Michael Reynolds at The Mighty Middle for the link to the Boston Herald article. Reynolds has his own thoughts on the matter.

Michael Reynolds at The Mighty Middle disagrees with some statements in an article published by The Christian Science Monitor. I agree with Reynolds, yet I find even more interesting what is written in the first few comments to the post.

Instead of diluting the impact by excerpting, I recommend you go read it all at the original site.

…that shows how some folks have far too much time on their hands.

…this weblog is worth something:

The worth is calculated “using the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal.”

I didn’t know I had that many links. I need to start reciprocating!
