When you hear people praying on the radio or TV, do you turn the sound off or change the channel?

I listen to no stations that do that. However, our classical and sometimes even the local NPR will play some mass composition or other overtly religious music and it does get switched off. Listening the the classical station on Sunday mornings is like going to church so silence is muuuuch better.

I call the broadcast station and condemn the insanity and futility of talking to something that does not exist. Furthermore I insist prEying is brainwashing and cult activity diverting people away from science against the public interest VIOLATING PUBLIC AIRWAVES and violating the FCC law for over 80 years running

I generally keep right on channel surfing past the religious stations unless something looks visually intriguing or absurd. For programs where someone just breaks out in prayer, it depends on how long they drone on.

Depends. If it is a short prayer before an event that I'm interested in, I ignore it. For a religious show, I change the channel.

TV or radio stations don't have a prayer with me! 😉

i don't usually hear much of that, maybe a little in passing, too brief to worry about.

I was watching a United States Senate hearing last week and our tax dollars actually pay a guy to say a prayer before they start the meeting. I muted the TV and wondered how many other people did so

The 2 criminal theocrat "chaplains" both are paid over 100 thousand buck$ per year in House and SENATE with a huge budget to pay "guest chaplains" to do the illegal prEying....additionally all the criminal incumbents prEy to the flag since 1955

Cards on the table; I sometimes listen to Xian radio in the car because I find it oddly entertaining to hear what these people accept as truth and reality when it's so clearly bullshit. I sometimes watch Fox News for the same reason.

Xians and Republicans; two groups of people who get all their information from sources that constantly lie to them.

Absofuckinlutely. The sad thing about it though, is I can never turn it off fast enough.

2

Usually turn the set off.

Better things to do with my time then running across such nonsense peddled as reality.

Either one or the other .I can not stomach that infantile annoying crap.

I'm OK if it's part of the plot. What gets me is when people start talking about what god or the devil is doing. That's like talking about the Easter Bunny.

I make conscious choices to avoid such programs in the first place !

Yes. Sometimes if my kids are within earshot i let them listen to it so i can explain what it is and why people do it.

I don't often watch TV or listen to the radio. I don't remember what I did.
