...they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Acts 17:11 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Isaiah 8:20 "Whatever it is, I'm against it. No matter what it is or who commenced it, I'm against it." Groucho Marx, from Horse Feathers

70 years ago: U.S. congressional committee denounces Federal Communications Communication for giving radio time to atheists
On September 18, 1948, a U.S. House of Representatives select committee investigating the Federal Communications Communication denounced an FCC decision to permit radio time to atheists to respond to religious programs. One can hardly imagine anyone in Congress issuing a similar denunciation today without being pilloried as a bigot. At least then, as now, there remains enough freedom for Christian broadcasting in the United States to avoid the situation that now exists in the United Kingdom, where the director of religious programming for the British Broadcasting Corporation is a professing atheist.
