MISCELLANIA - Curiosly interesting to me!

Where does "religious" radio broadcasting rank in the Top Ten? Ninth; we are told by Corey Deitz!

Christian radio host, Chris Ruleman, was arrested March 19, and charged with downloading kiddie porn.

A biography of Ruleman that until recently had been posted on the radio station's Web site said he ''is quickly becoming known as America's top Christian adult contemporary radio voice.

If convicted, I'd say that bio needs a rewrite. Look folks, porn is addictive and other than judicial tyranny is the most insidious evil in our nation at this time.

Talk about censorship and violations of freedom of speech ...

An evangelical Christian talk show host who questioned the beliefs of the Catholic church and entertained a caller's question about whether the late Pope John Paul II would go to heaven has been fired. ... .

Last week, Minto questioned some of the Catholic church's beliefs, such as purgatory, and fielded a question from a caller who asked whether the pope would go to heaven. Many evangelical Christians believe that someone must be a "born-again" believer to enter heaven.

Minto, who is also senior pastor of the 100-member Turning Point Community Church, said he told the caller that whether someone was born-again was personal and "between an individual and the Creator."

Chuck Gratner, general manager of WORD-FM, didn't dispute Minto's description and said he was let go because of differences in how he conducted his show.

"WORD-FM needs to function in this city in support of the entire church -- that means everybody -- and not focus on denominational issues," Gratner said.

Now you wonder why "religious" radio is ninth out of ten?
