Religon & Ethics Newsweekly

Post by Tsyroc »

I was suprised when this show came on my local PBS station at noon today. I guess that when it comes down to it this show isn't too bad when compared to the blatantly religous shows but I had to shut it off when they did a story about the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs leading a public prayer. They also broke down part of one of Bush's speaches saying a line or two came from a Christian hymn.

They showed some people getting all worked up about cloning although most of them couldn't give a reason other than against god or nature.

The people that were for it seemed pretty level headed and interested in having laws to provide some checks but were against an outright ban.

All in all, I suppose this show is pretty good if you are religious but not a "fundie". It's certainly better than the 700 Club but as someone has many issues with religon it wasn't for me.

Something wicked this way comes.
Open, locks,
Whoever knocks.
