I have watched this show twice now... missed the first one.
It is actually sort of a Don Rickles approach to TV... insult everyone and those who are not insulted should feel insulted. At least that's sort of the impression I've gotten.
However, I think this TV show should be a huge slap in the face for a WAKE-UP call to Christians.
Think about it. Last year we were subjected to The Book of Daniel a severely handicapped TV show that truly had no resemblence to how a real pastor should live. Isn't it sad? Do we actually act that way? Is this how the world sees us?
Now we have a Christian actor on a pretend SNL-type TV Show that really doesn't act like a Christian, or does she? Do we act that way? Is this how the world sees us?
It is truly a sorry state of affairs that we get all "fired up" that we are being protrayed as bleeding hearts with the wrong kinds of causes. If we acted more like Christ, then the world would actually see Christ and not something that bears no resemblance to our Father God.

NBC seems to have some hatred towards God and Christians. More and more of their shows prove this point. They took all Scriptural and God references out of Veggie Tales on weekend mornings without permission from the producers of Veggie Tales.

I saw that! What a shame. I would be screaming artistic homicide.
I've never taken personal offense to what is meant to be just comedy. I think most people know the difference.
I don't think The Book of Daniel was meant to be anything but a comedy. After all my preist wasn't that way and I would imagine if he even saw me with a cigarette in my hand he would have had a fit.
Of course I do agree that there are some that would purposely try to hurt the Christian faith. But we have to give credit to the public to know the difference. Object to what is meant to harm it and laugh at what is stupid and foolish as we would at any other show.
Excellent points, Exseno. I actually was not offended by the show. What struck me was that so many Christians are just for show and the love of Christ is only skin deep. This is why it bothers me that the World sees us that way.
You are absolutly correct on the part of so many Christians are just for show. But truely it is not a comedy or movie that makes Christians look bad it is the fake Christians that make Christians look bad.
But I don't believe that all Christians are judged by the actions of some. Sooner or later people figure out who is true and who is not.
Exactly! This is my point. We act in such a way that the parody is not such a parody, but truth. This is why I asked, "Is this the way the world sees us?"
Obviously, there is truth to it because I see so many Christians acting just like that woman on this show. Of course, no one can act perfect all the time. We're human.
