Dutch bishops protest TV program showing Jesus on a leash

UTRECHT, Netherlands (CNS) – The Dutch bishops have asked a TV station to stop broadcasting a series that shows Jesus on a leash being walked like a dog. In the program, “God Does Not Exist,” six scientists explain why they feel it does not make sense to believe in God. But the bishops said their criticism was not aimed at the scientists’ views; rather it was the absurdist clips woven throughout the show in which Jesus acts like a dog and a naked African woman is seen hanging from a cross. The bishops, in a joint statement with the Protestant Church in the Netherlands, said the program “insults and provokes many people, especially religious people, and is a negative contribution to the important debate in Dutch society among believers and nonbelievers.” The show’s producers said they are offering nonbelievers a forum to explain their views. “People who are not religious are a minority and we wanted to make a program for them,” Rob Muntz and Paul Jan van de Wint said in a statement. The TV station that airs the program, RVU, said the show was meant to be informative, not insulting; RVU said it primarily produces educational programs. A spokesman for the Dutch bishops’ conference said it was “hard to believe” that the TV station did not intend to offend anyone. “They say they want to clarify the position of nonbelievers, but they do so at the cost of the things that are holy and precious for believers,” Jan-Willem Wits told Catholic News Service.

I think it’s about time for the wrath of God to be bestowed upon Europe.
 
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Makes you wonder how much longer He will put up with this:banghead:
 
:bigyikes: Well, wat U expect? This is HOLLAND. You know, the murder capital of Europe, where they kill you if you get too old, and they kill you if you get born too early. They license Euthenasia over there; they have the most accessable abortion and contraception services in Europe. In 50 years time no one will be watching Dutch TV as they will have committed Genocide against themselves and cease to exist. :ehh:

We should first pray for God’s Mercy, while there is still time left for them. His Justice will come in due time.

I agree with Hildrebrand.

Remember, God is going to judge us according to the mercy that we show and that we ask for for OTHERS!

Remember also that this country has the souls of 46 million babies crying out for justice against us, and those are just the ones we’ve slaughtered since ROE V. WADE.

And, what exactly have people been defending when they defended the Terri Schiavo Decision? And, what were the people on that side of the argument planning to do with that precedent once they got it?

And, Has anyone written his or her legislature about the laws that make Stephen Hawkins legally not competent to ask for a glass of water once he’s in a hospital or other medical setting?

Meanwhile, we need to pray for their conversion, as well as that of our countrymen. It’s in the Prophets, and in my Prayer Book, that, “God desires not the death of a sinner, but that he should turn from his wickedness and live.”

Otherwise, God has plenty of Cause to “overthrow” both sides of the Atlantic.

According to the Prophet Amos:

*Thus says the LORD: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke my word; Because they sell the just man for silver, and the poor man for a pair of sandals.

They trample the heads of the weak into the dust of the earth, and force the lowly out of the way. Son and father go to the same prostitute, profaning my holy name.

Upon garments taken in pledge they recline beside any altar; And the wine of those who have been fined they drink in the house of their god.*

Amos 2: 6-8. NAB:

Sounds like a pretty accurate description of what goes on all around the world. I’d say we’re all in a lot of trouble.

Remember, President Lincoln said that the Civil War was a just God’s just punishment for the Crime and Sin of Slavery and that we were repaying with blood on the battlefield the blood shed by slaves at the end of the whip and other devices of torture.

God only knows what we in the US and Western Europe have saved up in the Storehouse of God’s Wrath. Please, join me in praying that he requite us according to his great and infinite MERCY and not according to what we deserve.

If our countries receive JUSTICE, we shall all look as Sodom and Gomorrah. and, If we receive JUSTICE, and not the MERCY and Grace of the Cross, we are lost.

PRAY FOR MERCY, and PRAY FOR REPENTENCE! Maybe, if we pray and they repent, God will see fit not to release HIs wrath on us all.

Blessed are they who act to save God’s Little Ones. Michael

I’m appalled that someone can’t “make a program for the minority of nonbelievers” without making it manifestly offensive to belivers. if they showed Mohommed in this way, you can bet that Muslims worldwide would have rioted, and killed a few dozen people!

If they would have showed this being done to one of their heros, you probably would have had close to the same violent reaction as that of the Muslims’.

It’s almost like they’re relying the mild reaction of Christians, which they’re then going to to call unreasonable. It’s like they’ve decided they don’t owe Christians the most basic respect or the most basic of Rights, not to be NEEDLESSLY OFFENDED.

Whether they removed it from the TV network now that they’ve been informed that it’s manifestly offensive for religious people would be a good test of whether or not this was an innocent mistake or whether this was done intentionally to “Get laughs at the expense of the Christian Community” while thumbing their noses at it and sticking their thumbs in believers’ eyes.

This was the equivalent of yelling, “Fire!” in a crowded theatre and shouldn’t have been allowed on the air at all. What has been done to the stations that broadcast this and to the people who made the decision to broadcast this? Holland has laws against “Hate Speech”. Have they been invoked? Have the Bishops or other Christians leaders asked for them to be invoked?

I believe this rises to that level because the shows can have no other intent but to belittle and denigrate.

This is a situation where boycotting sponsers stupid enough to advertise on the show after they’ve seen it would be well advised. This is also a situation where expanding that boycott to other QUESTIONABLE shows ON THE SAME NETWORK may be considered.

And the Christians always have the option, at a last resort, of doing a nasty version of “Turnabout is fair play”, by running a series doing the same disgusting and sacreligious things to the unbelievers’ heroes as they did to Jesus Christ.

I’m not saying that it would be nice - Quite the contrary, but it would cause the people who did this and supported them to understand how they made Chrstians feel, as they felt they same revulsion at seeing THEIR beloved idols mistreated like dogs.

It’s called “Enforced Empathy”. and, “What’s sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander.”

Whoever made this decision should be brought to regret it. The corporation itself may hate Christians, but they should understand they can’t express it on the public airwaves, which are a public trust, at least not without suffering economic and other penalties provided offended parties in free societies.

It’s a nasty way to do business, but it seems as if these people leave reasonable people with no other choice. And, unless the governments are going to enforce the laws fairly and equitably, and/or, people are going to try to behave decently, that’s what you’re stuck with.

Blessed are they who act to save God’s Little Ones. Michael
