Way to go ABC!!
Advertisements [?]
My fundie fil forwarded me this e-mail in hopes that I would boycott ABC, as you can see, it will have the opposite effect;)

Good Morning All,
Just received this from a Great Christian Friend who requested that I get the word OUT!!
Thus you are receiving this shocking response from ABC.
I hope that you will take the time to read this and share also with others.
The direction of the world has become a great concern of mine. Just read and listen to what is happening in Wisconsin. RE: School Administrators not allowing the singing of Christmas Songs. The tree at the capitol is called "Holiday Tree."
Love to All
Chuck

N ABC MESSAGE YOU HAVE TO READ
If more of us took a stand maybe we could have some decent TV programs.

Jim writes:

My name is Jim XXXXXXX. I wrote to ABC (on-line) concerning a program called "THE PRACTICE." In last nights episode, one of the lawyer's mothers decided she is gay and wanted her son to go to court and help her get a marriage license so she could marry her 'partner.' ! I sent the following letter to ABC yesterday and really did not expect a reply, but I did get one.

My original message was:

ABC is obsessed (or should I say abscessed) ! with the subject of homosexuality. I will no longer watch any of your attempts to convince the world that homosexuality is OK. THE PRACTICE can be a fairly good show, but last night's program was so typical of your agenda. You picked the 'dufus' of the office to be the one who was against the idea of his mother being gay and made him look like a whiner because he had convictions.. This type of mentality calls people like me a "gay basher." Read the first chapter of Romans (that's in the Bible) and see what the apostle Paul had to say about it.... He, God and Jesus were all 'gay bashers'. What if she'd fallen in love with her cocker spaniel? Is that an alternative lifes tyle? (By the way, the Bible speaks against that, too.)

Here is ABC's reply from the ABC on-line webmaster:

How about getting your nose out of the Bible (which is ONLY a book of stories compiled by MANY different writers hundreds of years ago) and read the declaration of independence (what our nation is built on), where it says "All Men are Created equal," and try treating them that way for a change! Or better yet, try thinking for yourself and stop using an archaic book of stories as your lame crutch for your existence. You are in minority in this country and your boycott will not affect us or our freedom of statement .

Jim XXXXXXX's second response to ABC:

Thanks for your reply. >From your harsh reply, evidently I hit a nerve. I will share it with all with whom I come in contact. Hopefully, the Arkansas Democrat Newspaper will include it in one of their columns and I will be praying for you.

Note: Wouldn't Satan just love it if people stopped using the Bible
for a crutch? Please resend this to everyone in your mailbox.


-- Thanks, Jim XXXXXXX

I wonder if the person from ABC considered how many people would read this e-mail!

This is one we should definitely pass on.
