Promising "Health, wealth, and happiness," the new Oprah network (OWN) launches on January 1st. Like a bad parody of the Christian television networks that thinking Christians intentionally avoid, secular America can now simply substitute faith in Oprah for faith in God and get the same vending machine promises from a benevolent "Queen."
How appropriate that this comes after the assault of secular American Christmas with its messages of "it's about family, sentimentality, giving, and indiscriminate faith."
Please, let's join hands and repeat, "I won't succomb to the enchantment...I won't be mesmerized by the incense....I will escape this ugly but alluring Underworld...." Where's Puddleglum when you need him?
