I recently found out that the Daystar television network is coming to Afghanistan. Daystar is a lot like the Sky Angel Network.
That means in a war-torn country where Christianity is misunderstood and hated, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Marylin Hickey, Oral Roberts, and the like will make sure that the gospel will never be listened to by millions of people.
American Evangelicalism has a lot to answer for already. Why are we bent on damning those folks by immunizing them to the real gospel? Instead, they will be promised health and wealth if they believe in the word-of-faith Jesus.
I will pray hard for the failure of Daystar or that they will clean up their act.
Saddened,
Phil Perkins.

Phil,
Daystar and Sky Angel are hardly the same. Daystar is one network that leans very charasmatic. Sky Angel is a multi-channel satellite television system with a Christian mission, featuring over 30 TV and radio channels of Christ-centered programming representing a wide variety of Christian viewpoints as well as non-doctrinal Christian-based programming. Sky Angel also carries a lot of family entertainment programming with channels like Hallmark channel, Hallmark Movie channel and HGTV, as well as Fox News channel. So saying Daystar is like Sky Angel is like saying Hallmark Channel is like DISH Network.
Dear A. Nonymous,
Thanks for your comment. We have a dish system and it has a Sky Angel Channel and a Daystar channel. And they have a lot of the same programs, just different times. But I will be looking for the differences from now on.
But here's a question for you (and I don't want to come off like a smart alec here): Exactly what is "non-doctrinal Christian-based" anything. And if it's really non-doctrinal, how do you know it's not Budhist? Or Mormon?
Think about it.
But, I will be looking for those differences.
Phil Perkins.
