Goodbye to "The Book of Daniel"

The American Family Association recently sent me an email regarding the victory over NBC's controversial show The Book of Daniel. The main body of the message was composed of the following:

"NBC's anti-Christian program The Book of Daniel has been cancelled! Your efforts, combined with those of hundreds of thousands of other AFA Online supporters, had an impact. NBC's decision to pull The Book of Daniel shows the power of the pocketbook. NBC didn't want to eat their economic losses. Had NBC not had to eat millions of dollars each time it aired, NBC would have kept The Book of Daniel on the air. Because of your efforts, the sponsors dropped the program. NBC then decided it didn't want to continue the fight. Even an impassioned plea by Daniel's producer Jack Kenny could not match your participation. 'Ordinarily, I would never ask anyone to do this, but the AFA (American Family Association) and bullies like them are hard at work to try and prevent you from seeing these beautiful shows, and that is censorship pure and simple. And that is both un-Christian and un-American,' Kenny wrote. His attitude is typical in today's society. Non-Christians telling Christians what is Christian. People like Kenny don't want people like you to have a voice. They want to deny you the right to get involved. You are supposed to sit back and take the trash. And when you do speak up they call you names. This shows us that we don't have to simply sit back and take the trash, but we can get involved and fight back with our pocketbooks. I want to thank the 678,394 individuals who sent emails to NBC and the thousands who called and emailed their local affiliates. Thanks for caring enough to get involved!"

For those of you who do not know what this show was about, it was a sitcom that gave the American public a warped and perverted view of Christianity. It was simply immoral and untruthful, but now, thank God, the people that have stood up to it have made a difference. I think this should be a rallying call to the rest of the Christian church to stand up for the important social and political issues that need to be reformed. Abortion has killed 48 million people and counting, and embryonic stem cell research is fast approaching that mark. It has been proven that a handful of individuals, with God's blessing, can overcome any obstacle as long as they have faith. If everyone unites and focuses on what makes the church the same rather than what divides us, we can accomplish goals like this, and I believe we must.
