@seamus - frightening tv schedule, but I don't honestly think it's a great deal better here, any more. I've managed to survive quite happily without TV for a couple of years now and feel no less informed, thanks to all the alternative news media now available - but of course you have to look for it, rather than wait to be spoon-fed. And compare the choice between "celebs and their doings" and reality TV (non-entities and their doings, maybe?) on one hand, or conquering the MTW world on the other, well, guess where the better entertainment lies

The other interesting thing that came out of the original article was how people varied according to their "style" of God, rather than their denomination. Makes it all seem so much more... subjective when people are governed more by their personal biases rather than the specific creed they purport to adhere to.

I still get a very strong feeling that so much expressed religion is just flag-waving, or hogging the moral high ground, without any genuine spiritual awareness or aspiration beneath it. Maybe I'm a cynic, but I've seen too many TV evangelists now, too many molesting ministers, too many twenty-car gurus, to take seriously many of the "loud in praise" types. And politicians with a "hotline to the Lord"? Yeah, right.....
