Buying off churches
Fundamentalist Baptist pastor Greg Linscott passes along an email he received from Fox Faith. Basically, they offered to install a satellite at his church that came with “no strings” but which he could use to view current Fox Faith offerings.
This is pretty egregious. Churches exist – at least in theory – to bring people closer to God, not bring people closer to Hollywood. It’s great that more movies are being churned out that are supposed to appeal to the faithful but giving people something huge like this is a pretty clear sign of expecting some sort of quid pro quo. It reeks of the recent problems that Microsoft/Edelman created by giving away laptops with Microsoft Vista to bloggers.
