On January 6, NBC will begin a new series entitled The Book of Daniel.

While the public has not seen the program, NBC is promoting "The Book of Daniel" as a serious drama about Christian people and the 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.

NBC and the mainstream media call it "edgy," "challenging" and "courageous." The series is written by Jack Kenny, a practicing homosexual who describes himself as being "in Catholic recovery," and is interested in Buddhist teachings about reincarnation and isn't sure exactly how he defines God and/or Jesus. "I don't necessarily know that all the myth surrounding him (Jesus) is true," he said.

NBC considers The Book of Daniel a positive portrayal of Christ and Christians.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! Please help get the word out by forwarding this to your family and friends. They probably aren't aware of it!

The assault on Christianity continues.

[snarks_when_bored]

Risky? Gimme a break... What would be risky is if they criticized mohammed in an episode.

[Hildy]

They just...don't...get it.

[Gordongekko909]

If by "courageous" they mean "guaranteed to be hyped by straw-man 'censorship' arguments," then yes.

[Ben Mugged]

They approach secularism the same way they approached Hillary as president. Desensitize the public through mass media then get their message through by influencing MSM stories that reflect their agenda.

[Brilliant]

Well, I don't watch NBC anyway, so I guess I can't stop watching them in protest.

[RolandBurnam]

only show on tv that has jesus as a recurring character?? wrong: see southpark

[manwiththehands]

There was no link in the original story hope this one works.

[willyboyishere]

At least they had the common sense to make the pill popper an Episcopalian, rather than a Catholic, which
would have DOOMED the show from the start, believe it or not, rather than assured its popularity.There wouild have been an unbelievable, and well deserved swirl of controversy if he was Catholic. The Episcopalians are "progressive" enough to embrace a less than perfect image of themselves, so it all works out well. However, I don't see more than 2 seasons.

[Westlander]

Will Katie Couric have starring role ?

[BigCinBigD]

I think that's the same night 24 premiers on Fox. Guess what I'll be watching.

[adgirl]

I read the line up of characters seems they forgot the sensitive abortion doctor who's a member of the KKK, the wacky group of scientologists who volunteer at the soup kitchen down the street and the Muslims who run the Adult Video shop on the corner. Hmm did I leave anyone out? That's right I forgot the militant band of Hindus who are recruiting for the NRA in the Parish.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I don't necessarily know that all the myth surrounding him (Jesus) is true," he said.

That's a DUMB statement. Myth is never true. So how can he not know if myth is true or not? He has already decided, obviously, by calling it myth. So the statement is just stupid.

The more they show this stuff the more the reveal to the world who they really are. It's a statement about the show's makers and nothing more. For that matter, that's true of all shows/movies.

[Dont Mention the War]

It is also billed as the only show on television in which Jesus appears as a recurring character.

Uh, "Rescue Me" and "South Park" come immediately to mind.

[DBeers]

An Episcopal priest with a homosexual son... This is just another homosexual propaganda show -plain and simple...

[little jeremiah]

later pingout.

I of course would not watch this (except for taking notes on how the "entertainment" rulers are trying to corrupt and ruin people) even if I had a TV.

But I would be ineterested (for the above reason) to know what they have the "Jesus" character saying. Will he be saying things consistent with his teachings in the Bible? (Year, right!)

They really need to get out more.
