Leah and I have been getting a big kick out of the local dustup over NBC’s new show The Book of Daniel.
The other night we took a couple minutes to watch a roundtable sponsored by our NBC affiliate in Waterloo that brought together area clergymen to watch an episode of the program and comment. The responses were fairly typical, ending up mostly as, “you shouldn’t portray Jesus like that.”
Really. When you have supposed Christians running around claiming that stroke and coma are signs of Divine wrath over the division “God’s land,” well, the television portrayal of some Episcopalian priest cruising around in his car with Jesus is the least of The Son’s image problems.
