Local Radio Station mixes Sex and God

THIS WAS POSTED BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2008 ON MY MYSPACE ACCOUNT BUT IS STILL GOING ON TO THIS VERY DAY.....

I must say, people, I do not sit around and think about religion and how to make it look bad, even though it may seem that way.

Tonight, I was listening to a locally owned radio station while working, because nothing else would come in on the radio, basically. I personally hate the station for a number of reasons; such as, stopping in the middle of a song to play the same news real from the last hour, or just going to a local commercial.

The one thing that I hate the most is the fact that they want to portray themselves as a type of Christian-based station in the mornings; quoting bible verses of the day, bible trivia, commercials with preachers spreading the word and advertising their sites or phone numbers.

The problem lies in the fact that they play risque music then go right into "christian" music. For example, last night they played "Slave 4 U" by Britney Spears with lyrics like
"I'm a slave for you

I cannot hold it

I cannot control it
I'm a slave for you
I won't deny it
I'm not trying to hide it"

Then the next song was "The Voice of Truth" by Casting Crowns with lyrics like

"But the voice of truth tells me a different story
the voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth"

These two songs are totally contridicting one another. I thought that playing Led Zeppelin and then playing Pink was bad enough but wait.....but wait, there's more.

A preacher's message came on stating that "you're going to hell" and all this BS; then the next song is "My Angel Is A Centerfold" by the J. Giles Band with lyrics:

"Years go by I'm lookin' through a girly magazine
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in-between

CHORUS
My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold "

Wow...could it get any worse, you ask? But, wait, there's more..... They played another preacher's message telling "us" that if we have sin in our life again we are going to hell. What's the next song? Don't mind if I do.....it was none other than that grand old hit, "Secret Lovers" by Atlantic Starr with awesome lyrics:

"Here we are, just the two of us together
Takin' this crazy chance to be all alone
We both know that we should not be together
'Cause if we're found out, it could mess up
Both our happy homes"

This is frickin' sweet, folks!!!! It makes me f***ing sick! I don't care about the music. It's the simple thing that this is what makes people like myself and others look at christianity and shake our heads. This locally owned radio station is promoting religion in order to gain more listeners. Paint the rosey picture of yourselves, make everyone feel great about themselves, and all of you can ask for forgiveness each and every day, and start all over the next day and the next. In the meantime, turn all this religion towards those who don't give a crap, try to make us feel bad like you do, and follow along this stupid game you call a religion. If this is what it's about, then your faith doesn't amount to a hil of beans.

I don't believe in it for a minute! Speaking of faith....3-4 years ago, when I was "blinded by the light", I asked the owner of this locally owned radio station why didn't he make it a christian station if "God" had called him to start the station. He told me that the community would not support it. Let me translate this one for you....he didn't want to lose his ass because he didn't believe any would "pay" to support a christian station. "Money" was the issue. Where's the "faith" in that, brother? I thought "God" called you to go into radio?!?!? Instead you play Casting Crowns and Mercy Me to all the ex-addicts because this is what they can relate to with religion. You draw them in with a little bit their kinda music. God with an edge. Singing about praise and hard times.

When I was "searching for the truth", I found christian-metal bands like Living Sacrifice, Mortal Treason, Extol, Demon Hunter. I continue to listen to them because the music is great. But I was treated like crap when people happen to hear the music I was listening to. I offered the music to the youth in the church I was in, but you would have thought that I was a stranger giving them candy. ADD.....OCD....back to the subject at hand....

I just wanted to let people know about this horrible broadcasting of sex and religion. Support it if you want, but I'm disgusted and done with the Mighty locally owned radio station.

BTW, it's the mixture of the two that bothers me if you didn't get it. I prefer to listen to Slayer, Machine Head, Static-X and much more.....It's just disgusting to be portraying God in the mornings and God/sex at night. Hypocritical.....
