Revelations 33:15—Yea, though it came to pass that those refusing to believe in the word of the Lord grew in number, and the fatted calves were slaughtered less frequently thanks to the Mark Of The Beast (a.k.a Weight Watchers), it did happen that shepherds keeping watch o’er the network television landscape did espy a need for new content. And so, in the year of our Lord 2015, it did transpire that Deadline reports Alcide Bava, a production company founded by Big Bang Theory’s Johnny Galecki, is developing a sitcom based on bestselling 2007 book The Year Of Living Biblically.
Said book—which pleaseth the Lord greatly because he hath such a good sense of humor about these matters—is written by Esquire magazine editor-at-large A.J. Jacobs, who did spend a year upon the Earth obeying the tenets of the Bible as literally as possible. Unto this effort, the Lord did say, “Whoa, that is a good idea for thine book, but also, what in the name of Me was I thinking? Like 70 percent of the rules in mine holy book became moot once thou didst invent the refrigerator.” Seeing this in development made the Lord ebullient, as he was annoyed that Paramount Pictures, which previously did have Jacobs’ noble book under option, couldst not get its shit together and make something from it.

No? Guess they're too scared.
Liberals, who spend their time mocking it and the only time they ever say Jesus Christ is to take it in vain as a swear.
well isn’t that special?
Oh goody ... Hollywood is going to interpret scripture for us.
{”Guess they’re too scared.”}
Much safer to ridicule Christians.
Besides way too creepy to recreate the life of a pervert like Mohammed.
That photo brought back lots of great memories growing up watching Saturday morning T.V.
If their goal is to mock Christians, they must stick to the New Testament and the teachings of Jesus. I don’t think there’s that much to make fun of regarding “God is love” and the “Prince of Peace”.
If they ridicule the Old Testament, they would be mocking Jews.
NBC = Nothing But Cr*p
ABC = Always Broadcasting Cr*p
of course they’re looking to make fun of Christians, but there was a time when nearly every program on TV involved more or less living according to Biblical principles.
But then they’d have to read the Bible.
What the people at CBS, and others on the left, are too stupid to understand is that when everything goes to hell they’ll be caught up in it just like the rest of us.
Christians take the old testament as seriously as the new: “The new within the old concealed, the old within the new revealed.”
I don’t.
“of course they’re looking to make fun of Christians, but there was a time when nearly every program on TV involved more or less living according to Biblical principles.”
You mean like when at the end of the broadcast day (midnight) they would have a little “devotional” movie of the sun setting or a forest with a scripture verse superimposed, and then they would play the national anthem with the flag waving, and then you would get the test pattern and then static?
Those days?
The article says "as literal as possible"
The dictionary defines Fundamentalism as believing in the literal infallibility of the Bible.
So, this show will likely ridicule fundamentalists.
This would likely include those that handle snakes and speak in tongues.
For some, Jesus feeding many with a few loaves and fish is a literal miracle. Others might see that as a symbol of a political alliance that Jesus made to become King of the Jews.
Also, a 30 year old dictionary associates fundamentalism with southern Protestants. More modern definitions apply fundamentalism to Judaism and Islam as well
Really?
As a result, do you not use mixed fabrics, eat pork or shellfish?
Christians study and revere the law, but try to live by the Gospel.
I wouldn’t have a problem with them mocking Jeremiah Wright, or the Westboro “Baptist” “Church”.
My guess is, this is just part of the Left’s goal to criminalize Christianity in the near future.

That is way out in atheism land!
Anyone that doesn’t believe the Bible literally is by definition an unbeliever. You can look that up in John’s first epistle.
The definition of Fundamentalism has changed considerably since WW II. It used to be literally a separate denomination
