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.

or not....

CBS currently has a show called Code Black. on the surface it is about an emergency room in Los Angeles that is constantly in Code Black the condition where there are more patients than they are capable of handling

actually, the show is about how Los Angeles is or has fallen apart. under the medical veneer is a damning picture of how the city is not functioning because of the welfare state drag and intense regulation.

How and why would CBS develop and air such liberal damnation?

As a good catholic, I consider those people nut jobs; as for the universe being 6000 years old, that was not the Vatican speaking ex cathedra; random bishops can be nut jobs too!

And if you think Wikipedia is the final word, things are worse that I thought.

To the point that, with a straight face it says that 99.9% of all serious scientists reject creationism.
A deliberate half truth that only zero everything voters would swallow without qualification.
