The Fundies Are At It Again


Well, the fundies are at it again. What is it this time, you might ask?

The American Family Association is calling for a boycott of a new TV show, The Book of Daniel, which they claim is an example of the network's "anti-Christian bigotry".

Daniel is about an Episcopal priest and his family, who each are battling their own issues: the priest is hooked on prescription medications, the wife is a drinker, the son is gay, and the daughter deals pot.

Apparently, the fundies object to seeing Christians being portrayed as fallible human beings, with issues to deal with, just like anyone else.

Fancy that.

I'd not planned on watching this show; indeed, I'd never heard of it until the Bible Buttinskis raised such a furor about it.

I've have to be sure to watch it now.
