Please define what you mean by "a slam on Christanity".

I didn't see where Christanity was blamed for any of the problems.

This was the most dysfunctional (large) cast I've ever seen, and it was the heart of Christianity. Two bishops, a priest, a priest from a different Christian faith,and their immediate families, with a bland Jesus. Any religion of that group of losers, must not have much good in it. Doesn't Hollywood have any business people in it?

a slam on Christianity it is. the implied thought of the project it that Christians are messed up. I know many minsters and clergy that do not have any major personality flaws. they are not drug addicts, they are not closet homosexuals or homophobes, they are not child molesters, their families are not screwed up. Most minister families that I know are happy and love each other. What I wouldn't give for a family oriented show that expresses the love of Christianity. Remember little house on the prairie? The Waltons? You remember? the shows where a family was a good thing? Where the parts of the family were able to go to other parts of the family for healing and love and acceptance? When men where men and women where women and kids where kids and had kids problems. Where not every show had a divorced parent, a homosexual friend, and a wacko grandparent.

That's NOT what I meant Lokibob. I said it was a slam on Christianity because they took this totally dysfunctional family and put them in a not so flattering light. Made it look like a reverend, called by God, and his family, who, imho, are supposed to be examples to others and put them on a level beneath the dignity of such a family. Before anyone says that a preacher, reverend or whatever can fall from grace, I realize there are those who do, or some in their families do but I was offended by this whole concept.
