actually no religions do not have the right to not be talked about in a negative manner nor can anyone tell anyone else not to say anything demeaning about the people who follow those religions. They just need to get over themselves and move on with lives, specifically their own, and stay out of the lives of everyone else. Where is it written in the Bible again that women should be nosey opinionated political pundits trying to further an agenda of hate against a people they seriously don’t understand?

Thank you, TampaZeke, for making that point. Freedom of speech demands that ideas – religious or otherwise – be open to mockery and criticism.

People shouldn’t be protesting GCB because it’s sacrilegious.

They should be protesting it beause it’s really bad TV.

“Blasphemy is the act of speaking sacrilegiously. If the definition fit, OMM would have good reason to target GCB. Freedom of religion is a human right that should be protected from defamation, whether Christian- or any other faith-bashing.”

Wait a minute. You’re kidding, RIGHT?

I can’t believe what I just read! Are you actually saying that blasphemy and sacrilege is religious defamation and that freedom of religion requires that religious people be protected from such? Sacrilege and blasphemy are acts of religious freedom. This isn’t the 16th Century. Religious people don’t have a right to not be offended, any more than gay people have a right to not be offended. Yes, if Christians are offended by blasphemy or sacrilege or whatever GCB is doing, they most certainly have a right to boycott or respond however they wish but NOT because their freedom of religion was in any way denied.

I get the main point of your commentary, but the whole thing went off the rails with that one statement.

Before we get all bitchy about Kraft’s decision, if Kraft had pulled its ads from a show that portrayed gay men in a bad light, we’d all be applauding their principled stand.

I haven’t watched it and don’t intend to, but could every one please calm down? It’s not a documentary about Christian women in suburban Dallas, any more that “Dallas” was a documentary about the oil industry. It’s presented as entertainment. From this description, it does not sound entertaining to me. It sounds tedious.

I’ve seriuously been wracking my head trying to figure out what was so offensive about this show. It seems like the typical ‘Housewives being bitchy at each other’ show that’s been done a thousand times before, except with the creators being honest about how most bitchy housewives also go to church.

This article made it obvious though, they’re mad because a show about people who claim to follow Jesus while ignoring everything he ever said that inconveniences them hits too close to home.
