Have you guys heard about the NBC SHOW called "THE BOOK OF DANIEL", which makes Christians into a "Jerry Springer Show" (so to speak) of sex, drugs and hypocrisy?

Well, they finally cancelled it...AMAZING!

I remember emailing NBC about how the themes were offending...

Some might think I'm making a big deal out of this,

But reflect on what this minister stated, which was based upon his denomination:

I'm being slandered by the show," said the Rev. Jack Estes of St. Luke's Episcopal Church. "If there was a priest in our diocese living the kind of life reflected in that show, he would be removed from the pulpit . . . . This is a clear case of apostasy -- portraying the church as having thrown away its morals and embracing values that are totally wrong," Estes said. "That's really what is being portrayed under the guise of tolerance and working out family problems."

Under the guise of tolerance, do you then slander one's group's value?

NBC's "The Book of Daniel" may have launched to great controversy and hoopla.

But, today, the show ended with a whimper – pulled unceremoniously from NBC's Friday night schedule, effective immediately, with no more of an announcement than an entry on an NBC blog by creator Jack Kenny.

As WorldNetDaily first reported, "The Book of Daniel," written by a homosexual, was promoted as the only show on television in which Jesus appeared as a recurring character and the only network prime-time drama series with a regular male "gay" character, a 23-year-old Republican son. The main character, Daniel Webster, was a troubled, pill-popping Episcopal priest.

Touted as the riskiest show of the year, it included a wife who relied on midday martinis, a 16-year-old daughter who was a drug dealer and a 16-year-old adopted son who was having sex with the bishop's daughter. At the office, the priest's lesbian secretary was sleeping with his sister-in-law.

One NBC affiliate after another dropped the show. Advertisers ran from it. And, apparently, despite all the controversy it generated, so did viewers.

The network had to absorb millions of dollars in losses each time it aired the program, Wildmon pointed out, because the show's sponsors bailed out.
