Illegal fee?
#2
RE: Illegal fee?
There's a similar debate with the BBC in the UK. There's a daily service and thought for the day on Radio 4 which is predominantly Christian. Here's an example: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/articl...iever.html

Quote:Richard Dawkins is entitled to his point of view that religious people do not have the monopoly on ethics. As a religious person, I should agree with him.

But I would agree more with anyone who said that they did not want a preacher, religious or otherwise, telling them what to think before eight o'clock in the morning.

A well-known Victorian clergyman, Hawker of Morwenstow, was once visited by a stranger in his remote Cornish parish. And because Hawker was also a famous poet at the time, the stranger kept badgering him with questions about his views on life.

Eventually, Hawker took the stranger to a window and showed him the cliffs and the sea. 'Those are my views,' said Hawker. 'My opinions I keep to myself.'

If only the BBC followed his advice.
