  • As a Christian. I’ve always hated faith based programming. It paints this idea of God as this magic lamp that if you say the right hting or make the right offerings you get what you want, and that’s the BEST CASE for faith based programming. most of it is money begging prosperity gospel bullshit.

    Go find Highway to Heaven.

    Better yet. Here it is all of it.

    Set aside the Christian messaging. It’s a show of tolernace and hope and people helping each other. Hell, it has a LITERAL ANGEL FROM GOD… discouraging a christian based school from excluding other faiths from their teaching.

    Steve Shives (an avowed athiest) praising Highway to Heaven:

    This show would not be allowed to made today. It would get protested and condemned as ‘too woke.’

    It was one of the things I watched growing up and I still see it as having value in showing what it truly means to be christian.

    And more importantly? It’s two dudes going 'round the country helping people. Not by big miracles (usually,) but by giving people the tools to do things without leaning on God








  • You raise a fair point in it being an attention grabber. I took the prompt as ‘what could you introduce in day to day normal usage to the point it is ‘normal’ useage rather than seen as exceptional.’

    For pretty much the reason you stated. So that it isn’t attention grabbing and NB persons aren’t going ‘LOOK AT MEEE! SEE! I AM DIFFERENT!’

    Though you also bring a point that it still sounds quasi gendered. I’ll differ to someone who’s actually NB on the matter since … well yea.
