And while the AFA monitor all the programs they need to boycott, their children may be huffing spray paint and building mobile meth units. Like good little carpenters.
Says AFA spokesman, Ed Vitagliano, the group was offended that the show's creator, Jack Kenny, is gay, as are two of the show's characters.
"We look at that and say, 'If they wanted to try to alienate conservative Christians, they're making every effort to do so,' " he said.
Because there are no gay conservative Christians? I venture to say many, many conservative Christians are conservative Christians because they need the power of God almighty to help suppress their latent homosexuality!
Let it out, kids. You'll feel a whole lot better. Then you can enjoy television again.
But no -- they are apparently offended that a gay man has written a "controversial" series co-starring Jesus.
Because all us good christian folk know Jesus had NOTHING to do with the gays during his lifetime!
Right?

I was gonna say something about this, but you beat me to the punch. We just watched it. Oh my god, a human Christian family? Imagine?
These organizations had been complaining that television offered no representation of Christians. The main character is troubled, but appears to be a decent person who really tries and seeks Jesus for guidance. I guess they'd be happier if he were a pedophilic, hateful, warmonger. At least that would better represent those who are protesting.
You'd think they'd be more embarrassed by the likes of Pat Robertson. Apparently a loon who attributes god as creator of hurricanes and strokes to anyone with whom he disagrees is a better example! Oy vei!
know what else is good is that, uh, "skating with celebrities".
I'll stick with the other guy-hallucinating-that-he-talks-to-Jesus show, "Rescue Me." Has the AFA seen that one? Hoo boy! But I guess they stick to attacking the networks... even coo-coo Christians know better than to jump on the FCC's doomed "let's censor cable, too!" bandwagon.
