First off, the show is portraying itself as a dysfunctional family, that just happens to have a preacher as the main character. Find me one family that isn't dysfunctional in some way. And yes, "Will and Grace" was boycotted when it first came out. So was Ellen's talk show.
Secondly, if they have a problem, then they can change the channel. That's what the remote is for. "Vote with the Remote."
And until they can prove otherwise...they're jerks. And I'm being nice when I'm calling them that. I've got some other choice words, but I'll keep those to myself.
Frankly, I find their Sunday morning televised services to be offensive, but I don't go complaining to the station. I CHANGE THE CHANNEL. What do they do? Whine and groan and scream. They seem to think they know what's best for the rest of society.
Wow...censorship seems like a real good thing for the world...And don't even get me started on the wars that religion has caused.
These people condemn me for my beliefs. How DARE they think they can tell me what's best for me, and how *DARE* they tell me I'm going to hell for airing the show. Every day, I look around and I see 100 reasons why not to be a Christian. I've yet to see a LOGICAL reason to convert back to it. Yes, I was raised a Christian, and then I became Agnostic. Everything I see makes me VERY grateful I did so.
You know, rather than ranting in a huge essay in Steph's journal...I'll post a link to one I wrote in mine a few days ago. One of the polite ones.

That pretty much sums up my feelings on this matter...
