Anyways...I loved the show and I hope it gets more of an audience. I don't see how they gave Jesus a bad name, I think they just gave him more of a soul than people like to preach about. Personally, I would think Jesus would want to be more approachable. But that's just me.

very dysfunctional family. The daughter has a lot of talent but her drug problems hurts her, Daniel gets visits from Jesus, much similar to how all the characters from SFU got visits from dead people... there's no "proof" on the show that Jesus on the show is the real Jesus or just a Jesus in Daniel's mind (much like the people who spoke to the Fisher's were actually their subconsciousness as opposed to the real ghosts visiting them). Plus, like the Fisher's had rival funeral houses, Daniel has rival ministers.

I think if anything, Book Of Daniel pisses people off because it's too real. It did not hold back at showing the hypocrisy some "loving Christians" have. All we have to do is look at the family of the girlfriend of the straight son, who are also a rival minister and his family... the reason they don't want them having sex is not because they're against premarital sex, but because they don't want Asian grandchildren, which IMO speaks volumes.

IMO, this show is far less "offensive" than the movie Saved, even tho I didn't find Saved offensive. Just about everyone I know who saw Saved thought the movie did a perfect job of putting fundamentalist Christians in their place.

Good eye! I never even put those together, but I see what you mean

I got this in an email today. Now I can unblock NBC, and put it back on my channel lineup.

Because of your efforts, NBC cancels 'Book of Daniel'

Dear Bradley,

NBC's anti-Christian program The Book of Daniel has been cancelled! Your efforts, combined with those of hundreds of thousands of other AFA Online supporters, had an impact.

NBC's decision to pull The Book of Daniel shows the power of the pocketbook. NBC didn't want to eat their economic losses. Had NBC not had to eat millions of dollars each time it aired, NBC would have kept The Book of Daniel on the air. Because of your efforts, the sponsors dropped the program. NBC then decided it didn't want to continue the fight.

Even an impassioned plea by Daniel's producer Jack Kenny could not match your participation. "Ordinarily, I would never ask anyone to do this, but the AFA and bullies like them are hard at work to try and prevent you from seeing these beautiful shows, and that is censorship—pure and simple. And that is both un-Christian and un-American," Kenny wrote. His attitude is typical in today’s society. Non-Christians telling Christians what is Christian.

People like Kenny don't want people like you to have a voice. They want to deny you the right to get involved. You are supposed to sit back and take the trash. And when you do speak up they call you names.

This shows us that we don't have to simply sit back and take the trash, but we can get involved and fight back with our pocketbooks. I want to thank the 678,394 individuals who sent emails to NBC and the thousands who called and emailed their local affiliates.

Thanks for caring enough to get involved!

Sincerely, Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman
American Family Association

P.S. Please forward this e-mail message to your family and friends!

So did I and then I promptly removed my email from their crap mailing list. Look, I'm conservative, I'm Christian(although I do not go to church regularly) and didn't see a problem with a show as far as content went. It was no worse than Desperate Housewives. The AFA needs to just go away...
