It represents the views of (whether we like it or not) a fair sized part of the population proportionately. I see no reason why the BBC shouldn't show religious programmes. You don't have to watch them, in the same way I don't have to watch any of the shit I don't like or agree with or in the same way a religious person probably dosen't want to watch (or fund) documentaries that are against their views or standpoint. To ban something because it dosen't line up with your ideals is the exact sort of bullshit many of us hate about oppressive and fundamentalist religions. If we are all paying to fund the BBC it is only fair that all sides of a subject are told.
well i happen to disagree with this for the sole reason that i think religion is wrong from the start. it's fine giving both sides of a point, but when one side of a point is blatently WRONG or if you like unproven then why the fuck should it be given the time of day?
if 99% of the country said they wanted to watch a program telling us about the existance of invisible pink unicorns i'd sure as hell be just as annoyed if it was shown when it's being paid for by me. sorry, but that's just where i stand.
Well thank god you are not in charge of anything then. I value the will of the majority over being told by one person, or a minority what I cannot do, watch or say.
