NBC's dysfunctional 'Christians'
Book of Daniel' by homosexual writer features drug-dependent minister

This abomination will fail and will be withdrawn from the publicly owned airwaves soon enough. Let us pray no souls will be lost because of it. That would make the inevitable punishment meted out to all involved much worse.

A pro-family group has launched a protest campaign against a new NBC drama featuring a troubled, pill-popping Episcopal priest who is the father of a dysfunctional family.

"The Book of Daniel," written by a homosexual, is being promoted as the only show on television in which Jesus appears as a recurring character and the only network prime-time drama series with a regular male "gay" character, a 23-year-old Republican son, says the American Family Association, which has an online petition.

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

Cute. They're only missing a pedophile, a couple of terrorists, and a black midget with a lisp and a hunchback.

As WND reported earlier this month, the series debuts Jan. 6 with back-to-back episodes and will air regularly Friday nights at 9 p.m. The cast also includes Ellen Burstyn and Susanna Thompson. Comedienne Phyllis Diller plays a member of the congregation.

It's good to see Phyllis alive and working. But sweetheart, not this way. There is not enough money in Hollyweird to buy your soul.

The priest, Daniel Webster, played by veteran actor Aidan Quinn, regularly talks with a manifestation of Jesus, played by Garret Dillahunt.

Somehow I doubt Citizen Dillahunt will be spouting lines filled with orthodoxy.
