UNDERSTANDING CHRISTIAN TEACHINGS?

Something I don't understand with Christians. It is said that the human body is God-created yet there is bruhaha over boxing in which the boxers outdo each other in destroying it. 

It is said that being cruel to animals is bad. Yet, a Christian radio broadcasting station announces: "Christ said, if you feed on me..." isn't that a very CANNIBALISTIC stunt that jolts our sense of value for what is humane? How can we feed on Christ?

The same station states that "Looking to Christ his crucifixion and his resurrection." Every hour on the hour it repeats this phrase -- a rather masochistic view of the human body. Why should we be reminded always of the negative end of Christ? Why not focus on his teachings and the values that he preached, or even the miracles that he caused?

Worst of all, what was once a one-hour daily per week showcase of Filipino composers, singers and musicians has become only two hours every Wednesday, lunchtime. Is this the way a Christian broadcasting station should deal with our musician artists? it is high time that Christians in media look inward and see if they are really fulfilling the words of Christ. This last act is truly discriminatory, racist, and downright unChristian. 

Christ could be weeping now for the turn-around in the use of his teachings. 

God forgive them for they know not what they do. Help us determine the nationality of those who did these.
