Sounds like it will appeal to the "Passion" demographic.

the Jesus character on "Daniel" is depicted as a "contemporary, cool" figure who appears only to the minister.

That would've been quite a coupe...if it had been announced by NBC's news division.

What do you want to bet it will be an anti-conservative, pro gay marriage screed?

[AD from SpringBay]

Puke - these idiots must have just bought a "Christianity for Dummies" book and decided to make this - pagans attempting to speak a language they neither hear nor understand.

I wonder how long it will take them to turn Anne Rice's forthcoming book on Jesus into a miniseries? That one ought to really set off the alarm bells.

Why not? He already has his own radio show in Los Angeles...

MATTHEW CH. 24:

4: And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Anne Rice has a new book on Jesus coming out? Cool..

[wideawake]

According to NBC promotional materials, the Jesus character on "Daniel" is depicted as a "contemporary, cool" figure who appears only to the minister.

If they think that this approach will net them the Passion demographic, they're popping whatever pills their fictional minister is hooked on.

Anyone else think this may be just a LITTLE blasphemous?

[stocksthatgoup]

The media and the demoncrats are gonna show YOU that they have morals.

[mnehring]

Well, the talk show with Jesus concept didn't work..

I wonder how long it will take them to turn Anne Rice's forthcoming book on Jesus into a miniseries?

Does she make Him a vampire?

[Shortwave]

Pill popping clergy is code for Catholic bashing.

[shekkian]

The statesman Daniel Webster must be rolling in his grave to see his name abused this way.

Oh you've just got to see this one!

I wonder how often the "new Jesus" will contradict Scripture? I mean, they won't be satisfied with doing it every now and again, two or three times per show is probably a requirement for the writers.
