Christianists call for end to PBS

I'm a Christian and I never claim to be perfect like many modern day Christians. A lot of them are hypocrites, money hungry, uneducated to what God's word really is and put themselves on pedestals which is not right! I am proud to be a christian and will defend the teaching of Jesus Christ because I've seen the power for myself; I also believe in free speech. I don't believe in any "biblical secrets" but I believe if someone wants to make a documentary airing so called "biblical secrets" they should be aired for discussion...so a real knowledgeable Christan like myself can rip them to shreds! I can appreciate PBS for its diversity, although I may not agree with all content and programing!

My tax dollars are funding this? ??????
How unchristian. Feds: Please take all my tax money and put it towards more bombs. If there's any left over, please give it to Haliburton. They are such a Christian organization, helping us in our house to house searches in Iraq, helping us render suspect terrorists or those who we think may possibly might know a suspect terrorist which is close enough.
Give my tax dollars to that Senator from Alaska who wants a 20 million dollar bridge to his house on an island. And, above all, please use my tax dollars in preference to using Exxons. They're going for a world record in profits and I wouldn't want to stand in the way of their 'gold medal'.

Bush/Cheney would love PBS to go under to, for no other reason than "Frontline." Christians calling for an end to upsetting challenging thoughts seems like a coalition move.

I am not part of any religion but I recognize and appreciate the role religion plays in America, are those of you so quick to demonize American religion the same ones talking about tolerance for Homosexuals, tolerance for Muslims but apparently no tolerance or respect for American Christians.

I have long felt that PBS should not be funded, they have their own agenda and I have no idea why they deserve Government funding. Let those who love PBS so much pay for it, why should I.

Yeah, we dont need any stupid advice about how to treat people better and how important it is to LOVE each other and feel good about ourselves! Thats just stupid!

more proof that any fanatical religious follower is dangerous to the freedom of the general public... this is why i can't buy into any religion

Now that George Bush, and his gang of NeoCon idiots, are leaving office in November, the Evangelical movement has to do something to keep its agenda in the public eye, or else it risks being swept aside by the current tidal wave of hopeful Democratic fervor...

I don't think going after PBS or making it rain on Barack Obama's parade is going to do it though...

No, this has something to do with Ken Burns...I can feel it!

I hope Congress realizes that they would infuriate a much larger and hopefully more vocal segment of the population if they were to eliminate PBS, one of the only relative bastions of open and honest debate left on the so-called "public airwaves".

yes indeed! It seems like they're an evangelical cult. Being too extreme of what to say and what not to say. I'm a bit skeptical on there attitudes.

I don't understand why fundamental Christians get soooo afraid of people questioning their beliefs and having different views on life, they question everyone elses...it just all seems a little cult like to me...one big evangelical cult...

The American Family Association needs to stop existing. Evangeliticals are just awful.

I agree. I'm tired of morons always trying to take charge for something stupid. This is probably in that area or further.

can we sign a petition to stop this petition?

Pissing off Christians is totally fine with me. Modern Christianity is mostly bullshit. If Jesus came back today the first group of people to put him right back on the cross would be Evangelicals or Catholics or the both of them. However, having a background in theology, the assertions made by the program in question are highly dubious. Either way, let people speak their minds. In the long run honest dialogue, agreed with or not, is the key to understanding. Agreeing to disagree is pretty fucking Jesus-like.

If it's history, news, or science then why not air it? It's not a hit piece against religion, it's trying to teach people something... go find something else to protest please.

Umm, please go shove the bill up your arse.

They are mearly trying to show the truth. If you are afraid of them doing that then maybe you should change religions, I mean obviously he doesnt give a shit. Some non-christians do pretty well and so do christians..wierd aint it?

*Yawn* I wish those that profess themselves to be Christ like would do something useful. Next thing you know they are going to protest the color red...

Seeing as the federal government is only responsible for about 20% of thier funding, I really don't know how much damage this could possibly do.

Besides, we have the freedom of choice whether to believe or not believe in the bible and people who are skeptical of religion should have the right to disagree with them. If they don't like it they can change the channel to the All-Christian Network for an hour.

"declares the Bible "isn't true and a bunch of stories that never happened.""

Well, PBS hit the nail right on the head!
