Yeah, these days that's so. Perhaps a little unfairly, I tend to think of these TV Christians as what Howard Stern derisively calls "shut-ins" -- people whose lives for whatever reason are very narrow, and for whom media loom very large.
They don't necessarily have to be shut in in the physical sense -- they might, for example, work in an antiseptic edge-city office park and have a two-hour commute in both directions. But it comes down to the same thing.
So the question for a lot of these folks is: what channel do I tune to? The one that talks about life and death, loss and redemption, mercy and justice, fate and free will -- or the one that talks about Paris Hilton?
There's a case to be made that those of us on this list have more in common with the people who prefer the former. They are, in Jane Austen's sense, "serious" people. We may think they're barking up the wrong tree, but jeez, at least they're still barking.
