Reflections

I have a little time to write today and I saw something that made me happy. I read that NBC cancelled "The Book Of Daniel" show. The show's main character, Daniel Webster, is a drug-addicted Episcopal priest who regularly speaks with an unconventional, white-robed Jesus. Webster's family includes a homosexual Republican son; a drug-dealing daughter; and an adopted son who is sleeping with the bishop's daughter. I'm glad they cancelled it.
I know that there is trouble in every Christian home but to portray a pastor and his family like this steps so far over the bounds of decency it's not funny. This is just another low down shot at Christians. The networks would never dream of lambasting a Muslim Cleric and his family this way, so why the constint attack on Christians? I think it is because they have done it for so long that Christians have become apathetic. The American Family Association (AFA) called for a boycott of the "anti-Christian program,"but where is the outrage about shows like Will & Grace or Queer Eye For the Straight Guy?
Next question and a more important one is why aren't we Christians not knocking down the doors of the networks with TV show and movie ideas. We need to step up and be writters of decent sitcoms or dramas. We don't need to jam Jesus down the throat of everyone but at the same time we can't sit by and let them jam Jesus in the mud. It's time to take a stand! It really is.
