SPECIAL ALERT! NBC to mock the Crucifixion of Christ
Dear (received via e-mail),
NBC, fresh from giving us the anti-Christian The Book of Daniel, has decided to hit back at the Christian community by presenting an episode of Will and Grace which mocks the crucifixion of Christ.
On the April 13 edition of NBC's Will and Grace, Britney Spears will appear as a Christian conservative sidekick to Sean Hayes' homosexual character, Jack, who hosts his own talk show.
Jack's fictional network, Out TV, is bought by a Christian TV network, leading to Spears contributing a cooking segment called "Cruci-fixin's." To further denigrate Christianity, NBC chose to air it the night before Good Friday.

NBC does not treat Jews, Muslims or other religions with such disrespect. Yet the network demonstrates a deep of hostility toward followers of Christ.
TAKE ACTION

Your involvement can make a difference!
Is that show still on TV?
NBC is a private company...don't like what they sell?
Don't buy it.
We did not crucify Rather and Mapes, and Kerry is still in the Senate.
Islamofascists want an apology for an offensive cartoon, people in here want an apology for an offensive TV show.
The comparison stands.
We did not crucify Rather and Mapes
Who said they were?
and Kerry is still in the Senate.
And he is NOT the Pres.
NBC is a private company...don't like what they sell?
Don't buy it.
Which is EXACTLY the point of this thread.
Sorry, but I have more important things to do than to write letters complaining about the substance of a TV show that I and apparently the vast majority of the population never watch.
There is a big difference between protesting the fictional stories on what is supposed to be a non-fictional news program and protesting the story line of a fictional situation comedy that is about to go off the air for good. By acting out, you are drawing attention to the very show that you want people not to watch.
Just wondering. Arent you guys supposed to be out evangelizing? Weren't you warned that you would be mocked and reviled? All I see are people in an internet chatroom
spending time and energy feigning some kind of righteous indignation. How bout a little energy spent turning the other cheek?
There is an even bigger difference between a peaceful petition campaign and threats of violence. Surely you can see that.
Where did you buy that TV that is always on and stuck on NBC?
If actually following the word of Jesus was a requirement, then I've met exactly two Christians in my life.
That may be but rolling over and playing dead doesn't accomplish anything. People only know they've crossed the line if they've been told. Objecting to trash has been so denigrated that it's now viewed as a bad thing and it is not. Decent people have been silenced and that has lost us ground. There is nothing wrong with standing up for what's right.
"Jack's fictional network, Out TV, is bought by a Christian TV network, leading to Spears contributing a cooking segment called "Cruci-fixin's.""
Do all the recipes involve crackers/bread on a stick with a glass of wine?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Do you consider a petition drive to be unchristian?
Looks like Mr. Jeffrey R. Immelt is a really slow learner. He's not earning his $8 million salary this week.
So, of course, you can point me to the massive Christian riots and various assaults/murders perpetrated by Christians due to the insults levied against our religion, right?
Who said you had to write letters? Word of mouth can destroy such inanity very quickly. This website alone is an extremely powerful tool, so most of the work is already done.
thanks for the ping.....waiting for American Idol...
That's an utterly uninformed comment. There's a lot of difference between writing a letter of protest and storming an embassy and taking hostages.
