Many, myself included, view certain places with reverence and respect. Churches, the White House, most war memorials, etc. By saying you thought the entire act w/commentary being performed in one of those respected places was funny, you degrade that which I, and obviously others, take seriously.

You remind me, a bit, of all those who, during the impeachment, kept up the mantra that it was only about sex and Clinton's personal life was none of our business. You see, to me, it was a personal afront to me that someone would so cheapen an area that I respect, as to use it for his/her own tawdry exploitation--and then have the audacity to lie about it (the real crime).

This radio show is no different. The thrill seekers and the radio station took unfair advantage of OUR sensibilities as to what is RIGHT.......and what is WRONG. And they did it for THEIR own personal gain....at OUR expense. THAT is why some are so upset with you. Because you are defending that which is just plain wrong.

Just to remind you...I never said the act was funny...I thought my original little one-liner was funny. Please go back and read it. I think it was post # 15.

Justshe is right. Purposefully defiling what others consider sacred for the sole purpose of offending and making fun of their sensibilities and beliefs is a low and little thing. Using such an act to promote oneself on the radio is ever lower. To hurt others in such a way flies in the face of the Christian commandment to love others as you would want to be loved yourself. Their act, and the radio jock's act, were entirely selfish and thougtless ones. They should be ashamed of their own personal selfishness, but obviously they aren't. Maybe a little of God's grace will reach them somehow through this.
