According to media reports, it is written by Jack Kenny, a practicing homosexual, who describes himself as being "in Catholic recovery,” interested in Buddhist teachings about reincarnation, and not 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.

Well, maybe I can clear this up for him:
1. Homosexuality is a sin.
2. Secular humanism is the myth, not Christianity.
3. He is probably going to Hell.

It's totally disgusting.

At my daughters school they gave out fliers about it and information on where to sent letters and e-mails. Yes, in Christian schools you are allowed to DISCRIMINATE and speak your mind.

[Chode]

make sure you call your LOCAL businesses that run ads during the show telling them what you think of them and their products...

WTVA in Tupelo, Mississippi, is not going to carry the program. I am not surprised since Wilemon, the President of AFA, resides in Tupelo, Ms.

New York and Hollywood hates America and everything it stands for. They think the average American needs to be reeducated. Their technique is to seek sanctuary in controversy and to throw out pilots until something sticks or they have to go back to popular sitcoms before ratings drop through the floor.

I don't believe anything significant from Bhuddism, Hinduism or Islam, but that doesn't mean I would feel I had license to mock everything the believers of those faiths stand for. First and foremost, this guy is just a jerk.

WLBT Jackson Mississippi has a poll on "Daniel"
Go here to vote.
http://www.wlbt.com/default.asp?Scraper=1&pass=1#poll51609
Right now 62% say it shouldn't be shown

[EmilyGeiger]

I heard some idiot say it had to have all this anxst in order to have longevity. What about shows like Highway to Heaven or 7th Heaven? They lasted for a long time and didn't make a mockery of Christianity. This is just another assault on the life of Christ.

Censorship is bad.

People never censor things they agree with.

If you don't like it, don't watch it, its a revolutionary concept.

NBC has come a long way down since "The Bill Cosby Show".

I hate to admit it, but I can finally relate to the French. In the past I heard the stories about how “they” are and rolled my eyes. They’re supposed to be rude towards Americans. With the extra poundage, the funny looking money, and a complete rejection of the notion that they should learn the language, Americans just don’t fit in downtown Paris. Le Big Mac? EuroDisney? No wonder the French are protective of their language, some things just don’t translate. I understand that now. I am someone who tries to have a Biblical outlook on life. I guess Tim Russert would classify me as an “Evangelical”. I too have a culture and a language I want to protect.

You remember the last presidential election, the one where the “Evangelicals” cost the Democrats the election? In the six months following that election I’ve noticed a lot more visitors pretending to “reach out” and “fit in”.

Of course, there have always been these types of things. A few years ago one of the networks had a movie about “The Flood”. I guess it was supposed to have been based on the Biblical account. About the same time I remember there was another show about Cleopatra. Guess what movie was more historically accurate? You see, in TV-land, Sodom doesn’t have Sodomites and Noah wasn’t the only one with an ark, and never mind about the timeline.

One would think the producers could have hired some native speakers to guide them through their producing. But like the rude visitors they were, they didn’t bother. They had the money, the script, and the ugly shorts and you could tell they didn’t understand half of what they were trying to say about Noah’s Ark.

Since then all kinds of politicians, entertainers, and newsmen have been saying all kinds of things that native speakers can tell, came straight out of the “Conversational Christianity in 20 Easy Lessons” traveler’s handbook. And that’s ok, I guess. I suppose it’s good to have visitors and people interested, so long as they don’t kid themselves about where they are from.

They say things that just don’t make sense to the native speakers. And not only do they say it with a straight face, but they smile ignorantly and expect their audience to agree. Gay marriage, government funded abortions, Revelations the mini-series, “regional” correspondents from the New York Times, and high-profile soon to be presidential candidates are all, now, wide-eyed and in our faces, nodding and speaking far too loudly to be taken seriously. I’m not convinced they’re here with our best interests in mind.

And now 'The Book of Daniel' which NBC advertises as a mockery of everything Christian while at the same time telling critics to wait until they see it because it's a serious Christian drama. Once again, something has been lost in the translation. But the visitors haven't stopped long enough to realize they don't own the ground they are treading upon.

Judging from the previous, this show shalt sucketh mightily. I give it 3 episodes, tops.

[Salvation]

BTTT for this good news.

The program’s main characters include Daniel Webster, a drug-addicted Episcopal priest; his alcoholic wife; his son, a 23-year-old homosexual Republican; his daughter, a 16-year-old drug dealer; a 16-year-old adopted son who is having sex with the bishop's daughter; his lesbian secretary who is sleeping with his sister-in-law; and a very unconventional white-robed, bearded Jesus who reassures the priest that his drug-dealing daughter and promiscuous son are good kids.

In short, Hollywood is presenting Jesus as a sleazy morally bankrupt lounge lizard -- how charming... If you're not boycotting Hollywood, now's the time to start.

WSFA here in Montgomery Has an Opinion form on thier front page for people to voice thier concerns on Book of Daniel. They showed the premier,but have announced that they will not carry anymore episodes if the opinions they receive are negative.

3. He is probably going to Hell.

Hey, I disagree with all his viewpoints regarding our Lord as well, but you have no idea where he's going when he dies. The Lord may not be through with him. Saying those things don't help.

[LibLieSlayer]

The solace I feel is in the fact that everyone involved in this "show" will burn in hell. satan will be their little playmate. They are NOT going to like his games!

I love Jesus. He is KING baby! It is his kingdom I long for.

Freedom (free will) given to us by GOD allows these types of blasphemy to exist. GOD also built in a "price" to be paid for doing so. This will be onetime that "bankruptcy" will NOT be allowed. These accounts will be "Paid in Full"!

After viewing the first episode at WBIR in Knoxville, several religious leaders gave their views on the program. Brian Kearns, minister at Lighthouse Christian Church, said, "I think it’s very demeaning to Christianity. It’s an assault on the Christian faith.”

Sounds like this minister is intolerant. /sarcasm

[FrdmLvr]

Does anyone know who the advertisers or sponsors of the show were?
