  * Why are Christians just as racist and beat their wives just as much?
  * Why are Christians buying into the same self-centred materialism as the rest of North America and only 6% of us tithe regularly?
  * Why is the rate of sexual promiscuity so astoundingly high in the world of Jesus people?

• Daniel Decker - Daniel Decker just returned from Armenia, where he performed his song “Adana” to a standing ovation at a nationally televised Memorial Concert commemorating the 90th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. 1.5 million Christian Armenians were slaughtered in the genocide by Muslim Turkish soldiers of the Ottoman Empire because they would not renounce their faith in Christ. Decker's song “Adana” is about the genocide from a decidedly Christian point of view, and has been translated into 17 languages so far. It was received with great emotion and a standing ovation by all in attendance. Through this song Daniel is having the opportunity to proclaim the Gospel in a way he'd never have, even if he were a missionary. As a result, he's bringing God's healing and restoration to the people over this event, which several countries including modern-day Turkey and the U.S., still don't officially recognize.

• Bibles banned from Hospital! Should hospitals even have Bibles in each room?
  A hospital in Fredericton N.B. has decided to ban bedside Bibles because they are a health hazard. Some politically correct genius made the decision to go through the Hospital, on a Sunday no less, and collect all the Bibles. Is this germ warfare or spiritual warfare? Ahhh... the continuing trend of the secularization of Canadian institutions. The mayor of Fredericton, Brad Woodside, joins the show, to express his frustrations and accused the hospital of acting on 'political correctness' that seems to reject any expression of Christianity in public.

Jimmy is now being investigated by the Canadian Radio Television Commission, the government agency, which regulates television. During his program, Swaggart started talking about gay marriage and said,
  
  "I'm trying to find the correct name for it ... this utter absolute, asinine, idiotic stupidity of men marrying men. I've never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry. And I'm gonna be blunt and plain; if one ever looks at me like that, I'm gonna kill him and tell God he died." Then his congregation applauded loudly!
  Should he step down as a spiritual leader... again?

• Tommy Emmanuel - Jazz legend Chet Atkins was one of the first people who inspired Emmanuel to pick up a guitar. Decades later, Atkins himself became one of Emmanuel's biggest fans, and is responsible for declaring Emmanuel a "Certified Guitar Player" - an honour shared by only two other people in the world (Jerry Reed and John Knowles). In his storied career, the Grammy-nominated Emmanuel has set sales records that have yet to be broken and performed alongside hundreds of other musical legends including Chet Atkins, Eric Clapton, Sir George Martin, Hank Marvin and Joe Walsh. He even recorded sessions with Tiny Tim and Stevie Wonder. In Australia, Emmanuel's music and life are legendary. He began playing guitar at age 4, learning to play by ear without any formal instruction. Emmanuel and his brother Phil were child prodigies, starting their professional career in the 1960s when Phil was just 7-years-old and Tommy a mere 4.

TALKBACK, ETC

• In Australia, the NSW Clubs Association decided to generously donate $500,000 to World Vision for the Tsunami Relief effort. World Vision turned it down because the clubs get most of their money from gambling machines (Pokies) and alcohol sales. They then changed their policy and decided they wanted the half million-dollar donation after all. World Vision Australia CEO, Tim Costello, a prominent anti-poker machine campaigner, said the humanitarian crisis was too great to maintain a moral stance about where the money came from. Did World Vision Australia do the right thing in knocking back this donation? Did they make it any worse by going back on their original policy?
• Should Christian, married couples always have kids? Do you think couples that decide to not have kids, are a little weird or selfish?
• Back by popular demand... USELESS TELEVISION TRIVIA!
