Interesting that you should post this today. I just got the following email.

THOUGH SHE'S DEAD AND HAS JUST BEEN LOCATED, AFTER 5 YEARS, THIS LADY CONTINUES TO HAUNT US FROM HER SHALLOW GRAVE. GET THIS:

CBS will be forced to discontinue "Touched by an Angel" for using the word "God" in every program. Madeline Murray O'Hare, an atheist, successfully managed to eliminate the use of Bible reading from public schools a few years ago.

Now her organization has been granted a Federal Hearing on the same subject by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in Washington, DC. Their petition, Number 2493, would ultimately pave the way to stop the reading of the gospel our Lord and Savior, on the airwaves of America.

They got 287,000 signatures to back their stand! If this attempt is successful, all Sunday worship services being broadcast on the radio or by television will be stopped. This group is also campaigning to remove all Christmas programs and Christmas carols from public schools!!

You as a Christian can help!

We are praying for at least 1 million signatures. This would defeat their effort and show that there are many Christians alive, well and concerned about our country. As Christians we must unite on this. Please don't take this lightly. We ignored this lady once and lost prayer in our school and in offices across the nation. Please stand up for your religious freedom and let your voice be heard. Together we can make a difference in our country while creating an opportunity for the lost to know the Lord.

Please press "forward," CLEAN UP THE MESSAGE, and forward this to everyone that you think should read this.

Now, please sign your name at the bottom (you can only add your name after you have pressed the "Forward." Don't delete any other names, just go to the next number and type your name. Please do not sign jointly, such as Mr. & Mrs. Each person should sign his/her own name. Please e-mail this to everyone that you think needs to read this, and help us defeat this organization and keep the right of our freedom of religion. When you get to 1000 please e mail back to Lisa Norman at electric_yello@hotmail.com mailto:electric_yello@hotmail.com

If this is a new attack I think the athiests are in for a surprise in light of Sept. 11.

CBS is not cancelling Touched by an Angel, or if they are it is not because of the use of the word "God". This is a false and malicious urban legend in much the same way the lie about the FCC censoring all religious broadcasting from radio is. Please stop spreading false information such as this.
More information can be found here. You discredit your cause by passing on such misinformation.

This is a tired old urban legend.

[Marysecretary]

this is and always has been a hoax. Check truthorfiction whenever you get one of these urban legends. Don't be taken in by them. It's not worth your effort to respond or to send it on and perpetuate the hoax. M

This is not true. Do not spread. Tell everyone you know to ignore this!

Man, some of these urban legends are so hard to kill. It makes Christians look foolish every time we respond to this kind of stupid stuff.

The only reason CBS would cancel a show is if it were not getting the necessary ratings. Forget about any other reason. Nobody watched "Christy" and the show died. If people stop watching "Touched" the show will die. Otherwise it will live.

Shalom.
