CBS developing sitcom based on obeying the Bible as literally as possible

Revelations 33:15—Yea, though it came to pass that those refusing to believe in the word of the Lord grew in number, and the fatted calves were slaughtered less frequently thanks to the Mark Of The Beast (a.k.a Weight Watchers), it did happen that shepherds keeping watch o’er the network television landscape did espy a need for new content. And so, in the year of our Lord 2015, it did transpire that Deadline reports Alcide Bava, a production company founded by Big Bang Theory’s Johnny Galecki, is developing a sitcom based on bestselling 2007 book The Year Of Living Biblically.

Said book—which pleaseth the Lord greatly because he hath such a good sense of humor about these matters—is written by Esquire magazine editor-at-large A.J. Jacobs, who did spend a year upon the Earth obeying the tenets of the Bible as literally as possible. Unto this effort, the Lord did say, “Whoa, that is a good idea for thine book, but also, what in the name of Me was I thinking? Like 70 percent of the rules in mine holy book became moot once thou didst invent the refrigerator.” Seeing this in development made the Lord ebullient, as he was annoyed that Paramount Pictures, which previously did have Jacobs’ noble book under option, couldst not get its shit together and make something from it.

Given society's decline, such shows will eventually make Christians targets.

Since January of this year my TV has been on to see the Repub. Debates. That’s it. Don’t miss it. Love the quiet.

Obeying the Bible by whose definition?

They’re trying to design a new form of attack on Christians:

The new weapons are aimed at drawing the interest of genuine Christians and undermining their faith.

The old weapons were aimed at pleasing secular people and non-Christians.

Anti-Christian liberals...

What’s a TV? My cave had running water nearby and that’s it.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

They have no clue. They just seek to mock Christians and orthodox Jews.

Obeying the Bible by whose definition?

Gay writers hostile to Judeo-Christian teachings, familiar with Alinsky's rules and practiced in various propaganda techniques. .

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

There was a time when TV shows touted the Bible as virtuous rather than covertly attacking it as CBS may be doing.

[Lucy Hamilton]

Yes imagine them making a sitcom about The Koran....a full-on Fatwa would be declared on them.

Someone would have to play Mohammed....and they’ve murdered people for even drawing a cartoon of Mohammed.

My TV is vestigial.
