I'm not sure if it counts as comparative religion (on the learning channels) if the only religious side of things comes from just two of the so-called big-three. Don't see much in the way of Islamic documentaries, do we?

And what about Hinduism, one of the Eastern side of the globe's Big Three? Daoism? Buddhism? Heh.

My point, such as it might be, is that the media doesn't really care. Those in charge want ratings and you get ratings by charging people up and getting them anxious. Not by making them feel that they have any responsibilities for how they think and act. /That/ takes work.

I doubt they even care if the watcher agrees or disagrees. As long as they're getting strong emotional charges out of their viewership they're getting a reaction. Which is why I don't allow myself to get angry at nitwitticism of this sort. Speculation is just that, speculation. If there's a God, he's either incompetent, helpless or a big jerk who likes to watch people squirm. Of the three, I'd prefer the second, because it puts it squarely on our heads to do something about it.
