http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2013/02/19/nbc-declares-war-on-christians/?intcmp=obnetwork :lol: QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLE: "Does NBC hate Christians? Thats what I was wondering over the weekend as I watched Saturday Night Live blaspheme Jesus Christ in a violent and bloody Quentin Tarantino parody just three days after Ash Wednesday." "Offending Christians is apparently what passes for entertainment these days. A few days before the SNL episode, NBC Sports blogger Rick Chandler wrote a scathing smear against a prominent Christian church in Dallas." (btw, that church is known for being quite bigoted) "Sing Oldham, a spokesman for the Southern Baptist Convention, told me hes not surprised by NBCs blistering assault on American Christians. Its open season on those who profess personal faith in Jesus Christ and pattern their lives by biblical morality, he said. Evangelical Christians are treated with contempt and targeted for ridicule.' "The network has also produced religion-bashing shows like The New Normal and The Book of Daniel. That particular show as so offensive it led American Family Radio Chairman Donald Wildmon to declare, We are tired of NBCs anti-Christian bigotry. I wish I could tell you that this sort of anti-Christian bigotry is an anomaly. Sadly, it is not." _________________________________ Wow. As if Fox could actually get any dumber. Through that whole report, the thought of Muslims kept popping into my head, because Christians subject Muslims to the same form of bigotry as these Christians claim to be receiving from NBC. Btw, now who is failing?

I was hacking the SBC dudes quote, from your OP:

"Sing Oldham, a spokesman for the Southern Baptist Convention, told me hes not surprised by NBCs blistering assault on American Christians. Its open season on those who profess personal faith in Jesus Christ and pattern their lives by biblical morality, he said. Evangelical Christians are treated with contempt and targeted for ridicule."

Seems only when the shoe is on the other foot, they love to whine and moan about persecution. This is (one reason) why I can't take Christians seriously.

Which is a tad ironic since this opinion section is criticizing the opinion section of NBC with the blogger, and linking it to NBC as a whole.  Also, seriously does this guy want to perpetuate the myth that evangelical conservatives can't laugh just a bit more?  I didn't realize SNL was supposed to be clean and wholesome.  

On another note, I'd totally watch Djesus Uncrossed.

Of course, the Fox network broadcasts The Simpsons, and like South Park, The Simpsons has made fun of every religion.

lol. As a Christian I will say that my response to this is rolling my eyes. The vast majority of Christians living in America have absolutely no concept of what it actually means to be persecuted. They have this mentality that if they face any difficulty in life then the devil is after them. However, that they are to live lives of ease is not even a biblical concept and they need to be knocked off of their pedestals.

Not a health&wealth Christian, hunh?

I'd say Christians know pretty well how to persecute, and I'd even say Christianity was at its best when it was persecuted. But the problem we have in the US now isn't the Christianity of Christians, per se, but rather the fact they treat their religion as an immutable and destined part of this countries character.

It's a cop out. Saying you're in a war sounds like you are trying to figure out or solve a problem, when really, you don't actually have to solve anything. A war on AIDs or religion isn't a war if there isn't a unified voice to say "we lose, you won."

I disagree, I do believe 90% of pacifists are cowards and because of that are ineffective. The minority of them are actually aggressive in their beliefs. A good example of what I am saying would be Ghandi.

I didn't say that, btw. But if 90% of pacifists are cowards, then 90% of militaristic men are insecure about the size do their d!cks so they kill other men to prove their manliness.

I will agree with this. While I never wish persecution upon anyone and thank God that those who are Christian in America are not persecuted, I will agree that Christianity works at its best for those who are downtrodden, weak, and without hope. Most Christians in the United States have no understanding of these things. As my Sunday school teacher said just today, "If the gospel you preach cannot be said in Somalia then it should not be preached in America."

But America is New Jersualem!

Yeah that's the problem with religion in America: people feel entitled to it as if they own it. Isn't the whole point of the Bible that you haven't nor could you possibly deserve a thing and yet here is grace?

Absolutely. I could not say it better myself. One of the reasons I desire to become a pastor is so that I might be able to call the church itself to repent. So often there is a mentality that Jesus is easy to love but the church is not. It's my desire to help the church be who it is supposed to be: an imperfect people who give their lives to Jesus by way of sacrificing all that they have to love their neighbors.

I wasn't trying to be critical of you when I said that so I am sorry if i upset you. My whole thing I said on pacifism was meant to show the utmost respect to the small minority of pacifists who are very effective in their beliefs. As for the 90% I believe react passively when reacting to aggression simply because they do not know how to use their beliefs as a, for a lack of a better term, "weapon" Edit: I'm not really connecting the dots on the military though, please enlighten me

Not particularly smart to mock or say bad things about a religious group that could potentionally give you a LOT of raitings. But meh, don't really care as I don't want fox or cnn.. they never report accurately and will only report what they think people want to hear to get more ratings than the other. It's not news, it's all a farse.
