daystar is religious programming. During the day it is mostly people preaching and asking for donations, sometimes 'save the children' and all that, 700 club in the morning... I got about 4 religious channels off of the rabbit ears, and daystar was the zanyist so before me and my boyfriend got cable we watched it all the time mystery science theater 3000 style. some of the stuff people said on that channel was hilarious. Like the body positions used in yoga apparently let demons enter your body. hahaaha. sure.
other horrible shows they dumped:
joni (oprah-esque talk show, she was really obsessed with curing homosexuality... I would say like 2/3 of her shows were about that). She said she was a singer, but she would only sing when 12 other people were there and they turned up the mic of one of the 'back up' singers loud so you couldnt even hear her. So I am pretty sure she sucked.
last time I saw her on tv she was introducing clips from religious movies on someone elses show at about 3:00 am. I laughed. I hate joni!
aquire the fire- a teen centered witnessing show. they would rent out venues and show dumb skits kids put together and have some guy try to convert eveyrone in the audience, even though I doubt an athiest would go to those things in the first place. i think they got rid of that show because the host would stress the importance of getting people into faith while they were young, and it was somewhat creepy(if you dont beleive by the time you are __ years old... we will probably lose you forever). Extremely melodramatic. I am pretty sure the last straw is the episode where they said teens were todays 'faith warriors', and compared it to the war in iraq, complete with skits w/fake guns and camo gear. I think it angered people who had relatives in a war, as though preaching to other people is in any way comparable to being in an actual war.
way of the master was the only show that was hard to laugh at. he was just such a jerk and so ignorant that it just made me angry. their website made me laugh though.
Jack lalane (SP?) and his wife roxella are pretty entertaining, they are on latenight on even non religious channels. they connect news articles to the rapture, and it seems like everything points to DOOM! some of the stuff they connect to the bible is pretty hilarious. They seem like nice people at heart.
