Christian Moms Group: TBS Comedy Show Is “Misleading Viewers” About the Bible
By Hemant Mehta, March 22, 2019

The evangelical Christian group One Million Moms (Twitter count: 3,655) is furious that a TV show satirizing God is… satirizing God.

The comedy Miracle Workers treats Heaven as a corporate workplace where God (Steve Buscemi) has lost the desire to work (and gained a desire to destroy His own creations) while an angel (Daniel Radcliffe) has to pick up the slack. Hey, it’s a TV series. You like it or you don’t.

The Moms, still furious over a sexualized Kit Kat commercial, can’t believe a TV show would use Christian mythology as a backdrop.

This show is clearly a mockery!

This disrespectful program mocking God and the Christian faith has now gone too far. TBS executives have crossed a line in misleading viewers about God and belittling the Christian faith with crude jokes and foul language. They would never air a show that defamed Muhammad in a similar fashion for fear of instant and violent reprisals.

“Misleading”? Who the hell is watching this show and expecting to see a reenactment of the Bible? (Wait till they find out God isn’t friending anyone on Facebook, either.)

This show isn’t “mocking” Christianity. It’s taking a well-known myth and using it to talk about larger societal issues. It wouldn’t work as well with any other religion.

Blasphemy or taking a well-known myth and using it to talk about larger societal issues?

Or, both?

You decide.

And if you decide it's Blasphemy...so what?
Don't watch it, go read your book again.
But don't you dare try to stop me, I'm going to watch it anyway.
