Why does god need my cable bill money? I have Suddenlink cable system, I pay about $95 a month for around 150 channels, this means I pay about $.63 per channel, now I know some channels cost the cable company more to provide (ESPN, FOX, ABC, CBS & NBC) all cost a lot more then the others but as a round number I will say I pay a $.50 each for each channel. The cable package I have comes with EWTN(the global cathloic network), DAYSTAR(faith based tv), TBN(trinity broadcast network), and INSP(inspiration network), I have NO choice but to pay for these channels if I want all the other channels that I get, this means Im giving about $2.00 a month to support the brain washing, stupidity spreading teaching of religion, now I know this is not a lot of money but if you add it up between all the cable customers it becomes a lot of money, Im sure Im not the only one that is upset by this as these channels only talk about christianity so its not only ripping off the atheist such as myself but all the other religions that are being left out by Suddenlink, there are only 3 ways to solve this problem, 1 they start to only charge everyone for the channels that we want and use(I think this is the best choice) for me this would only be about 10 channels witch would cost me about $5.00 a month, 2 they could make those channels pay-per-view like HBO or Showtime and such(even this would make me happy, I mean how many people watch those channels anyway?!) 3 they could just remove them from the cable line up to begin with(this would be the best choice for man kind). Now I know if Im the only one that goes and complains about this to the cable company I will get no where, but if enough people get upset by this and complain about it we might get somewhere, maybe even a class action lawsuite of the large cable companys might have to be done, we have to start somewhere though, I think a good start would be to send an email like this to your local cable provider.
