Forum for Christian involvement?

[Khristeeanos]

Here is an example:

I received an email today from the American Family Association which said in part:

NBC Demeans Christian Faith

Writer for new series is practicing homosexual

NBC is promoting the network's mid-season replacement series "The Book of Daniel" with language that implies it is a serious drama about Christian people and Christian faith. The main character is Daniel Webster, a drug-addicted Episcopal priest whose wife depends heavily on her mid-day martinis.

Webster regularly sees and talks with a very unconventional white-robed, bearded Jesus. The Webster family is rounded out by a 23-year-old homosexual Republican son, a 16-year-old daughter who is a drug dealer, and a 16-year-old adopted son who is having sex with the bishop's daughter.

At the office, his lesbian secretary is sleeping with his sister-in-law.

Network hype – and the mainstream media – call it "edgy," "challenging" and "courageous." The hour-long limited drama series will debut January 6 with back-to-back episodes and will air on Friday nights. The writer for the series is a practicing homosexual.

The homosexual son will be network prime-time's only regular male homosexual character in a drama series.

Please use the link below to send a letter to NBC Chairman Bob Wright.

Next, please forward this to your family and friends today!

Those at NBC responsible for this program consider it a good, religiously oriented show typical of Christian families.

Would any of you support a specific forum for these types of emails from AFA, Citizen Link (Focus on the Family), Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, Center for Reclaiming America (D. James Kennedy) and others?

We could unite to email people like the aforementioned NBC Chairman Bob Wright and encourage them as an online community to listen to the viewpoint of Bible-believing Christians!



I am part of a group of people who successfully caused Target to change their position on the "Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays" and here is part of that email:

Thanks again for signing the Center for Reclaiming America for Christ's petition to Target stores demanding that they reverse their ban on Salvation Army bell ringers.

Great news--thanks to you and other team members-- we just reached an amazing 50,000 signers! Thousands upon thousands of outraged citizens are signing.

Here is a follow-up:

Your efforts are having a powerful effect! Our boycott of Target is working! According to the New York Times, a spokeswoman for Target said it did not intend to ban Christmas and might use Christmas in advertisements later this year! In addition, Sears is adding "Merry Christmas" signs in their stores.

Our voices DO COUNT as Christians and I hope we all can get involved in this serious battle!

What do you all think?

I think it is very rude, horrible, and un-christian like to try to get a show to not be "aired" and listing one of the reasons as "the writer is a homosexual"

that is ridiculous.


Just as a note, there have been episodes of family guy, futurama, and the simpsons, all dealign with homosexuality, and they are all on Fox, which happens to be THE most right wing propaganda station.

Christians have the right to express their opinions about a show that depicts Christianity in such a demeaning light.

Let your conscience be your guide...

The sad thing is that the Episcopal church has become very unbiblical by ordaining women and homosexuals as Pastors and bluring the line between the world and the church.

 

[peace4all]

you do have a point, However, americans have the freedom of speech and can pretty much say what they wish.

I will bring up the issue with episcopal female pastors in another thread.

It is a sad day indeed. The networks have taken every opportunity to portray Christians as bumbling, extremist, racist idiots. I don't see the tide turning prior the the return of Jesus.

However, the more time I spend praying with and ministering to struggling Christians...the more accurate the family dynamics of that show become.

Sexual sins, alcoholism, drug use...it's all there, causing the most respectable Christians to stumble. But we sure look pretty coming out of church on Sunday...

You bring out a good point Hisgirl. The collapse of so many christian marriages is one point the homosexuals bring up to defend themselves.

Some Christians are indeed very good at presenting a false picture. And I think that as long as we do not challenge that others will.

But know this........

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Revelation 21:5-8

Sorry Bonsai,
