Peruse the Big Idea website and you'll come across the ridiculous excuse NBC gave for cutting Scripture: "Under current TV network guidelines certain religious references would not be allowed."  C'mon.  Madonna's mocking of the crucifixion is "allowed."   If the crucifixion isn't a "religious reference" I don't know what is.  NBC's hypocrisy is stunning.  When it comes to complaints about religious programming, NBC should respond to irritable viewers with their typical liberal arrogance, "If you don't like it, change the channel."
 
Why are the networks bent on removing Christianity from the airwaves?  The Secular Humanists that run the show are doing everything in their power to erect a wall of separation between Christianity and television viewers.  The network that prides itself on debauched programs like "Will and Grace" and "Las Vegas" is committed to a jihad against Evangelicals.  The proof is in the viewing.  "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" is being touted as "The hit show of the season!"  It's a hit show alright -- and Christians are on the receiving end of the hit!  "With great cunning, Aaron Sorkin and NBC send the message repeatedly throughout this hour-long show that Christians are extremists and the enemy of 'free speech'.  The first and second episodes of 'Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip' center upon the theme of Christians as 'nut-jobs' who terrorize networks and advertisers with threats of boycotts.  In other words, people like you and me, who voice our concern over the decline of decency, are part of a 'psycho religious cult.'" [1]

Did a Christian put a tack on Sorkin's seat when he was a kid? 
 
It's obvious to anyone with half a brain that the execs at NBC have a bias against Christianity. If this is false, then why did they insist that Phil Visher edit Bible verses out of the Veggie Tales series?   Additionally, why did the network permit an assault against Evangelical Christians on "Studio 60"?  Christians are portrayed as gullible fruit-cakes, whack jobs, nut-cases, hypocrites and bigots.  "One of the characters is supposedly a born-again Christian - a Christian who swears regularly and writes comedy for this fictional show that mocks Christianity.  She also prays before each show and is shown praying with the cast stating:  'We say this prayer in the name of your son Jesus Christ, who had to have been funny to get so many people to listen to him.'"

Are you steamed yet? 

Ah, but there's more: "This character supposedly appeared on the 700 Club.  Her boyfriend was outraged, called Pat Robertson a 'bigot' and compared his audience and other Christians to the Ku Klux Klan, stating: 'Throw in the Halloween costumes and you got yourself a clan rally.'" [2]

Aaron Sorkin must be proud.
 
By attacking Christian beliefs, NBC is spreading hate across the airwaves.  What's behind it, you ask?  NBC producers are Christophobic.  Those poor souls have an unnatural fear of Christians, especially orthodox Christians.  Hence they want to shut down all dialogue, pervert the Gospel message, and make Christians seem abnormal and irrational.  How intolerant of NBC! 
 
People of faith should consider taking their viewing business elsewhere.  Or turn off the tube until the networks start offering wholesome, family-friendly programming!   Moreover, a serious Christian should carefully consider what they consume.
