Book of Daniel is already controversial

The Book of Daniel hasn’t aired yet, but it is already controversial. The American Family Association is asking people to contact their local NBC affiliates and ask them not to broadcast the show. They say it “demeans Christians.” If you aren’t familiar with the AFA, the fact that they are also considering a boycott of Ford Motor Company because of its support for the “homosexual agenda” might help you place them in the political landscape. One ironic element of the AFA’s most recent campaign is that the Christians who are supposedly being demeaned are Episcopalians, members of a Church with whom the AFA finds itself almost enitrely at odds. The fact that the AFA is trying to rally people against a show that none of those being rallied have actually seen–that’s a tad ironic, too.
