They call themselves TBN-the Trinity Broadcasting Network-and they've managed to take over one of my channels on the cable network with an apocolyptic message that's preaching doom and gloom at every turn. Their message? The tsunami hit the beaches of Phuket, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka because these are lands "ripe with sin." As the mustachioed fellow's voice preaches a last days testimony to the world and looks for signs that the end of the world is near, the camera turns to shots of foreign tourists in Phuket, carrying away bodies. How convenient when a massive tsunami kills thousands of Muslims in a non-U.S. economic sphere of the world. My letter to their comments section reads as follows:
Dear Sir:
How dare you sit in your studio with pictures of the death and devastation calling the earthquakes that leveled villages, killed thousands of children, and tore apart families an area "ripe with sin." It speaks to your tremendous ignorance of the world outside your bible-preaching ways that you could take this terrible tragedy and use it to spread your proselytizing and moralizing upon the rest of the world. This is a sick and debased message--it is not the message of Christ that you spread, but the message of the diabolical. Rethink, because you are wrong.
Regards,
JM
