LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY kalibex)
'The only Christian TV channel in Finland said Thursday it will stop airing shows by American televangelist Pat Robertson because of his call to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
'The channel said its purpose was to spread a Christian message, not indulge in politics.
"It's sad that a leading Christian figure makes these kinds of statements," said the channel's executive, Martti Ojares. "The American style of mixing politics and Christian faith is also foreign to Finnish culture." '
