'Indy Timeline' of Upcoming Events "Book of Daniel"... Tonight on WTHR-TV13
WTHR-13 has been contacted for their comments or position regarding this evening's premier viewing of "The Book of Daniel". They have not returned phone calls or emails.
They have, however, run the story as 'news', as they previewed the show at (Episcopalian) Christ Church Cathedral. Here are some short excerpts...
Priest: "I don't think you can talk rationally about something if you're not even aware of what the content is."
"You had to pick someone, and I'm as happy to have it be Episcopalian as anybody. Any exposure we can get that will bring people in, is good."
Reporter: "A smile, perhaps a reserved chuckle even, was the reaction to content that many of the emails described as a mockery of Christianity. The man wearing the collar and the cross disagrees."
Priest: "I hope people will see it as entertainment. Very interesting. I'm looking forward to looking at the whole program and then seeing where it goes."

While Terre Haute and Little Rock affiliates have decided not to air the show, apparently WTHR-13 will be airing the show despite objections of many Christians -- so many that they set up a special voice-mailbox for your comments. What remains to be seen is which advertisers will be seen supporting the show.

You know, this show may be an accurate description of the Episcopal Church, but that may be my own prejudice showing.
I see it as toxic waste on our mission field, and we already have enough of that.
Question for anyone to answer:
How does a television show showing any sinful human having a one-on-one personal relationship with Jesus... well what's bad about that? I mean, isn't that we're supposed to aspire to?
Ok, two questions, how can anyone (especially a Christian) judge a piece of fiction before they see it?
