Sad, but not all that surprising, to read about the anti-religious editing at NBC.
Veggie Tales is a very popular Christian children's cartoon which has sold more than 50 million DVDs. Network TV wants to get in on the bonanza, but having signed up the program, they want to strip it of what has made it popular - its biblical values.
"This is one of those moments where you understand that networks like NBC are only talking an empty talk and walking an empty walk when it comes to the First Amendment, and 'creative integrity,' and so on. They have told parents concerned about their smutty programs like 'Will and Grace' that if they're offended, they have a remote control as an option. The networks have spent millions insisting that we have a V-chip in our TV sets. Change the channel. Block it out.
But when it comes to religious programming -- programming that doesn't even mention Jesus Christ -- just watch the hypocrisy. Instead of telling viewers to just change the channel if they don't like it, or put in a V-chip for Bible verses, they demand to producers that all that outdated old-time religion has to be shredded before broadcast.
It's truly sad that this anti-religious hypocrisy would emerge. Today, no one in network TV fears what the children are watching -- unless it makes them think about God."
