“Christian” Idol…
Sigh… Somehow, when Paul wrote that “I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some.“, I doubt he was talking about this. Right?
And why does it not surprise me that the Trinity Broadcasting Network is involved?

June 26, 2004 9:38amI don’t know the full idea of Trinity Broadcasting Network, can you expand on the irony? (I’m in Australia, I don’t get the channel/stuff)

Take all of the stereotypes of fundamentalist and charismatic Christianity, and chances are, TBN fits many of them.
For a while there, TBN was one of the few television stations I got, and I always found watching it to be simultaneously amusing, fascinating, and frightening.

I did look at their site and well, quite simply it’s not surprising that it’s like that at all… so in conclusion… Bleh.
