[W126 Coupe] Off-topic: ABC'S stand on homosexuality, and religion.

[Shayegan, Richard]

Wow, snopes has it and says it's true. My reaction is similar to yours,
and I'm not Christian. BTW, the guy who responded was not an ABC
official but the webmaster, and ABC fired him.

religion.

 A friend e-mailed this to me today, thought I would share it with you.
I don't have anything against gays, have a couple of friends who are
gay, but I am a Christian, and took offense to ABC's view of religion.
Wondered what everyone else thought of this?

Subject: ABC Strikes a Nerve.....

 

 If more of us took a stand maybe we  could have some decent TV programs
-- Jim Neugent is a  coach in Childress, Texas.

Jim  writes:

My name is Jim Neugent. I wrote to ABC  (on-line) concerning a program
called "THE PRACTICE." In last  nights episode, one of the lawyer's
mothers decided she is gay  and wanted her son to go to court and help
her get a marriage  license so she could marry her 'partner.' I sent the
following  letter to ABC yesterday and really did not expect a reply,
but  I did get one.

My original message was:  


ABC is obsessed (or should I say abscessed)  with the subject of
homosexuality. I will no longer watch any  of your attempts to convince
the world that homosexuality is  OK. THE PRACTICE can be a fairly good
show, but last night's  program was so typical of your agenda. You
picked the 'dufus'  of the office to be the one who was against the idea
of his  mother being gay and made him look like a whiner because he  had
convictions. This type of mentality calls people like me a  "gay
basher.." Read the first chapter of Romans (that's in the  Bible) and
see what the apostle Paul had to say about it.....  He, God and Jesus
were all 'gay bashers'. What if she'd fallen  in love with her cocker
spaniel? Is that an alternative  lifestyle? (By the way, the Bible
speaks against that, too..)  
--Jim Neugent

Here is ABC's reply from the  ABC on-line web master:

How about getting your  nose out of the Bible (which is ONLY a book of
stories  compiled by MANY different writers hundreds of years ago) and
read the declaration of independence (what our nation is built  on),
where it says "All Men are Created equal," and try  treating them that
way for a change! Or better yet, try  thinking for yourself and stop
using an archaic book of  stories as your lame crutch for your
existence. You are in  minority in this country and your boycott will
not affect us  or our freedom of statement..

Jim Neugent's  second response to ABC:

Thanks for your reply.  >From your harsh reply, evidently I hit a nerve.
I will  share it with all with whom I come in contact. Hopefully,the
Arkansas Democrat Newspaper will include it in one of their  columns and
I will be praying for you.
- -Jim Neugent  

Note: Wouldn't Satan just love it if people stopped  using the Bible for
a crutch? Please resend this to everyone  in your mailbox.

-- Thanks, Jim Neugent  

I wonder if the person  from ABC considered how many people would read
this e-mail!  This is one we should definitely pass on.
