Stupid Holy Week is messing up all the good channels.

[LeftyMom]

PBS, the National Geographic Channel, and Discovery are gonna be All Jesus, All the Time until next sunday. As if there weren't already a dozen different flavors of Jesus Channel on cable- could they please get their superstition away from the few channels that show any significant science programming?

On the plus side, it looks like the Hitler Channel isn't going with wall to wall lawd'n'savior coverage until friday- actually no religion until then except some thing on "UFOs of the bible" :wtf: thurdsay (apparently thursday is UFO day on History, they have a lot of that stuff on then.) For some reason Hitler Channel international starts with the Jesus stuff on thursday- apparently international viewers prefer crucifixion to anal probing. Kinky foreigners. :shrug:

Anyhow, I'm annoyed by this. If Christians want god talk before Easter, they can go to church, or watch one of the eight squillion Christian channels. I pay for cable mostly to feed my documentary habit, and for the next week I'm not getting what I pay for because all the non-fiction channels are being invaded by fiction.

So here's the deal: if it's Jesus theme week on Discovery, I want to see both sides, 'cause I pay to watch this channel too. For every show on the life and times of Joshua ben Joseph, you gotta run "the god who wasn't there" or "the virus of faith" or something. At the very least we need Mythbusters: The Miracles of Jesus (Walking on water? Busted.)

Deal?

1. it would be nice if somebody actually did a documentary on where Easter came from

which had nothing to do with Jesus.....i think it was a Norse goddess called Ostara

2. I agree

they should just keep that garbage on the Jesus Channels
