A few brief minutes of “Christian” Radio
I stumbled on — um — Christian(???) — radio yesterday afternoon. It was the end of what was evidentally an — um — enlightening(???) — program.
“If you were to walk up to an average person on the street — say a typical secularist – type, and ask them if they’d like a Demon to possess their body, they would, without fail, say that you’re crazy and give an emphatic ‘no’. (((This makes me wonder if the broadcaster has ever tried this experiment))) But if you asked people if they’d like an Alien to co-habitate their body, you would get more than a few ‘yes’ answers. Not if they knew their bible.”
Because, you see, (and I have heard this before from some fundamentalist Christians of a certain stripe), there are no extraterrestrial aliens, and when they come claiming to be so, they will in fact be demons pretending to be aliens. The suggestion than came on this radio program that the demons are already inhabitating some people’s bodies in the guise of alien co-habitation.
I wish I had had a pen and pad for the next few minutes, to jot down the basic thrust of the individual commercial messages. They made Art Bell’s advertisers look like Life Insurance and Post Cereal ads. Something about exposing the Illuminati. Defeating the Satanic Spirits, who are everywhere. Stuff like that. Oh, and the obligatory “Buy Gold” commercial — melded for the particular programming.
I’m sorry to say the next program was a dullard. I just don’t think local programs connected with local churches have the same fire in the belly.
