NBC Reaches Out to Christians
It looks like the mainstream media is serious about paying more attention to people of faith. Beliefnet reports on a new series picked up by NBC called "The Book of Daniel," featuring an Episcopal priest whose son is gay, whose daughter deals drugs, whose lesbian secretary is having sex with his sister-in-law, and whose 16-year-old adopted son is having sex with the bishop's daughter. The priest is addicted to Vicodin and meets with Jesus in his station wagon.
The series' writer, Jack Kenny, who wears his homosexuality prominently on his sleeve, considers himself to be "in Catholic recovery," and has taken an interest in Buddhism.
"Organized religion is, to me, almost the same organism as the Mafia," says Kenny. "I always wanted to explore religion the way 'The Sopranos' explored the Mafia, through the focal lens of a family."

I too have seen the trailer, and it only confirmed my belief that much of the MSN programing springs from the minds of profoundly unhappy people.

Sheesh, that series concept has box office poison written all over it.
I can hear the remotes in the great fly-over country clicking to such places as Discovery Channel.

And they still deny that the media is anti-Christian.

And it gets stranger. Al Sharpton and CBS are talking about him starring in a TV series called Al in the Family.

Doesn't Bush also meet with Jesus in his station wagon?
Is the lesbian secretary hot?
