You're absolutely right. It's a double standard to pick only on Christianity, but it's going to last for a while. These people live and breathe by the 'minority rules' frame of mind. In their twisted world, the majority always needs to be taken down a notch. Every misgiving is echoed and magnified, but all the minority problems are covered up with the security blanket of victimization.

My point is that they do stuff like this to be controversial. In order for it to be controversial and create a lot of buzz is for people to protest it. Then they can play the role of the victim, saying that their free speech and artistic rights are being trampled.

So everyone should just roll their eyes, avoid the show, and not let it bother them. That way people will see it for what it is -- shock jocks pretending to be artists. It won't maintain good ratings, it will eventually get canceled, and the producers and network executives will realize that the public-at-large rejects that kind of entertainment.

Well beside the fact that NBC has been advertising the 'final episodes' as this show will be going off the air at the end of the season. Of course once it does, I imagine 'conservatives' will claim they had somethng to do with that as well. I've watched the show a few times and I just don't like it. But I'm not going to bother writing a network about a show that already is planning to go off the air.

You've hit the nail on the head. It's a TV show and there are more important things in life. Will be in prayer for you and yours.

I don't watch the show to begin with and certainly would not tune in to see the tramp spears.

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

Of course not, nor will they ridicule homosexuals and lesbians - so turning off the channel is not the answer... as Mao Tse-Tung stated: “Passivity is fatal to us. Our goal is to make the enemy passive,” and it is this sheeplike passivity that has got us in a sad state of affairs, culturally speaking, starting with our education systems. So I will complain as much as I can.

P.S. Prayers for your MIL and family, Dave.

NBC's just mad because it can't parade the gay perverts without getting a reality check.

The only show I watch on the network is Apprentice, but even that is getting old.

There is some truth to your point, particularly in this situation, much like Hollywood's objection to the PASSION OF CHRIST and the resulting attention it received, probably helped to bring in many more millions than Mel would have made.

Will and Grace is a piece of crap and probably should have been protested long, long ago. I say this as someone who is fond of many of the comedies on television. Though it is high enough in ratings to have remained on the air for eight years, it has almost NEVER received any awards, something the cast themselves have complained about.
