Okay, I thought about this for a while.
As some of you know ,Mostly in the USA i think, Have maybe heard of the Catholic religious channel, EWTN.
First Just to let you know, I HAVE NOTHING AT ALL AGAINST CATHOLICS! some of my best friends are Catholics so yeah
But , Why have a religious channel on TV in a country of soo much Diversity?
It makes the Catholic Faith seem like the only Important religion out there.
Thats very racist to some people. There are other religions like, Judism,
Shinotism, buddism, hinduism, Islam ect...and other forms of Christianity like, Baptist, Protestants, lutherans, Eylipticals ((idk spelling)) and what ever
That channel also in a way, insults people that aren't religious or a different religion...Like, to me its as if they are saying: "If you don't believe in god,you'll go to HELL! or, " If you don't get baptised, you'll go to hell" and whatever"
I wasn't baptised...or at least I don't think I was and That is very insulting to me.
They also said on this Kids show, that "All Christians are Catholics" my sister, (Ilovetaang03) saw that when she was like, 9 or whatever and found that very insulting cuz my family is baptist or protestant ((but we are not religious))
And that made it seem like the catholics can't respect any other religions.
And yesterday, I accidentally flicked on to that channel and they said something about how, Its good to christinize people like, indians , asians and africans to Catholics. Thats rude to Force a religion upon someone.
They make it seem like Religion is the most important thing ever if you don't practice it, your a bad sinner and will die or go to hell or not have mercy on your soul. Its not good to tell these people that aren't catholics that cause, How would you like it if someone said to you,
"oh, you don't practice, ~insert religion here~ Your a bad person"And such.
I know that EWTN *try* not to say it out like this but if you listen hard enough, thats what they are saying. its very hypocritical and makes it seem like Catholics are dominant and should take over the world. We don't want to get all like hitler here now don't we?
And its mean to Atheists, and gives them a hard time. ((ilovetaang03 is a part atheist))
I know what you guys might say to me or comment,
if you don't like it so much then don't watch it
or,
stop judging catholics
or
this is not an appropriate subject in here
or
You shouldn't care
Or whatever you guys can think of I don't care. I'm sticking to my opinion.
I think that they shouldn't have EWTN or any religious TV channels on Free cable TV .
If Catholics still want to watch, Buy it on COX or Dish or HDTV.
Please comment on what you think on this idea.
