<b>CNN at it again</b>
CNN continues its christian propaganda to the world. Yet another video reporting by one apparently rabid christian (born again? or just recently died?) reporter Arwa Damon (at first I thought it might be the Omen child Damien), this time the report is about Indians living below the poverty line.
Of course, in true CNN style, that one family (a woman and her kids) about whom the CNN centered its report just happened to be christian. A big cross hangs outside the family's slum dwelling, and the child's name is 'Monica.' The reporter stresses on the name ''Monica' over and over again, lamenting about her plight (all very touching, of course), after the camera pans over the large cross near the entrance of the shanty.
The majority of the slum dwellers have probably been converted, as this one family on display; now all the CNN needs to do is invite contributions from world over to help these converted souls who have all been given a second chance.
For the christian viewers (and potential contributors) in the west, the message has been delivered ever so discreetly - these poor Indians are all converted christians and thus OK for them to give money generously. But the innocent non-christian viewer might have just missed all the signs - the cross and the apparently 'baptised' name of the child - too visibly moved to compassion at the sight of a bubbly little girl and her family living so shabbily. They might just treat their donations as another act of charity to the poor and ask nothing in return for their contributions (least of all the soul of the receiver).
As the beautiful child states innocently and simply that she would like to become a doctor and help other people, little does the innocent soul realize the christian evangelists have different agenda for her: She will be groomed to become a key spokeperson for christianity, and trained in the art of anti-hindu warfare, and go on to become the future author of ''How I was a hindu and became a christian."
