Christian Group Publishes $90K Ad in 'USA Today' Condemning Kathy Griffin
Article Date: 09/21/2007
By Ross von Metzke
If Kathy Griffin's ultimate goal in life is to get off of the 'D List', winning
an Emmy was a good start-and pissing off a Christian Theatre so much they'd drop
$90,000 on an ad in USA Today condemning her Emmy speech is the icing on the
cake.
The Miracle Theatre Group, based in Pigeon Forge, TN-the same part of the world
Dolly Parton is from-was so offended by Kathy's acceptance speech, in which she
said Jesus had nothing to do with her winning the award, they pooled funds to
take out the full page ad in the daily newspaper, according to the Associated
Press.
According to DListed.com, the ad, which ran Monday, read: "We at The Miracle
Theater consider it an honor to stand for Jesus today. We may never win a
national award. We may never be household names. We may never be seen in
Hollywood. Although others may choose to use their national platform to slander
our God, we are honored as professional entertainers to stand for Christ."
Griffin won the prestigious Emmy award from her reality show, My Life on the D
List. In her acceptance speech, the notoriously raunchy comedian said: "I want
you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus. So, all I can
say is, 'suck it, Jesus.' This award is my god now."
Christian groups have been up and arms about Griffin's speech since the ceremony
two weeks ago. While Griffin hasn't issued an apology, she clarified on The
Ellen DeGeneres Show that her intention was to poke for at all the artists who
dedicate their various awards to Jesus and then turn around and party until the
sun comes up.

------ CONSIDERING THAT "JESUS" --- IF HE/SHE EXISTED OUTSIDE SOME
GUYS' IMAGINATION --- COULD NOT HAVE BEEN CONVERSANT IN ENGLISH ...
.... which didn't exist when he supposedly did, he simply couldn't be
insulted today by one Kathy Griffin.

Wow, I wonder how many needy people will go wanting after they spent all

boffo at turning the other damn cheek -- have I been misinformed?

No, you haven't. They'd rather spend a fortune in a lame attempt to show
how "persecuted" they are, rather than help out people in need. Gee, as
long have they have their priorities straight................ :P

I find what she said to incredibly ironic, as Jesus claimed that
before the world was, "he is," implying that he was the same Creator
written of in Genesis... implying that he was God.
And as Jesus claimed to be God - the God believed of by Jews and
Christians for centuries, he would also have been claiming (and
certainly, believing) to have everything in his hands - even Kathy's
award. *By the way, my congratulations to Kathy on the award... that's
really cool, and I think she deserves it.
And if Jesus really was who he said he was - and/or even if he wasn't,
but only a "good" person, I don't think he would have cared about what
she said to him one bit. He probably just would have approached her,
told her something about her and/or himself that would've blown her
mind, and then somehow expressed his and his Father's absolute love
and compassion for her in a way that would have changed her life
forever... at least, he seemed to do this to anyone else who was in a
similar position to Kathy - like the woman at the well.
....
Totally off that subject, I think that this sort of thing is proof
that America and the Western World as a whole are far more concerned
with entertainment than with anything else... we don't care about each
other's opinions or respect each other so long as something was
outspoken enough to be found entertaining. But I'm not actually
offended by this... I'm just pointing it out.

I think Kathy has an excellent point. I, also have long been tired of
rappers and others giving thanks to Jesus every time they win an award
on TV. the rest of the time many of them are doing some of the most
despicable things one can imagine.
I doubt seriously that "Jesus" is on their side.
Kathy is dead wrong about MOST of what she believes, but on this point
she makes a good point. Elevate her to the "C" list now
Where does she stand on the genocide of the Middle East by America and
England?
What does she believe about the Jena 6 situation?
How does she feel about White racism in general?
If she answers those correctly, I'll elevate her to the "A++" list
where I and a few other people reside. :-)

That is your opinion, but unfortunately your opinion is wrong :)
If you did not have such a blackened heart and could accept God into
your life you would be so much happier. God is not going to make the
other team lose since you are a christian and they are atheists, but he
will give you the strength when you need it most, and you will without a
doubt feel this strength.

If Kathy Griffin's ultimate goal in life is to get off of the 'D List',
winning
an Emmy was a good start-and pissing off a Christian Theatre so much they'd
drop
$90,000 on an ad in USA Today condemning her Emmy speech is the icing on the
cake.
The Miracle Theatre Group, based in Pigeon Forge, TN-the same part of the
world
Dolly Parton is from-was so offended by Kathy's acceptance speech, in which
she
said Jesus had nothing to do with her winning the award, they pooled funds
to
take out the full page ad in the daily newspaper, according to the
Associated
Press.
According to DListed.com, the ad, which ran Monday, read: "We at The Miracle
Theater consider it an honor to stand for Jesus today. We may never win a
national award. We may never be household names. We may never be seen in
Hollywood. Although others may choose to use their national platform to
slander
our God, we are honored as professional entertainers to stand for Christ."
As a Christian, I am not very happy that she said for Jesus to "suck
it", but not too unhappy as it is her free speech right. Personally I
think the Miracle Theatre Group can suck it.
As a Christian, God made this world and then stepped back because he so
loved his children that he wanted them to have free will.
So Kathy is %100 right, Jesus had nothing to do with the award, just
like Jesus had nothing to do with the Holocaust.

constructive for people in need.

We're talking about people gripped by religiously
inspired paranoia. Check out this rubbish from the
group's website:
'It's time for Christians to stand up and say,
"Enough is Enough!" The name of Jesus Christ
should not be mocked, nor should those who love
Him be slandered for their beliefs. It is time for
people of faith around the country to stand firm
against religious slander, bias, and bigotry of all
types including Christianity!'
The nutball wing of Christianity in this country
whines that Christians have been abused and
subordinated, so they need to *start* getting pushy.
The spiel never changes.

Christian cretins are taught NOT to question.
Because if they went down that road even a little way, they would drop
their fairy story quick smart.
They ask questions, and are deaf to rational answers.
It is the nature of the toxic mind-virus that they are ill with.

Petition set up to seek respect for Jesus' name
Posted: September 22, 2007
1:00 a.m. Eastern
2007 WorldNetDaily.com
Actress Kathy Griffin's rant at the Emmy awards in which she told Jesus to "suck
it" has triggered a petition campaign intended to tell Hollywood "Enough is
Enough!"
Griffin, the star of the Bravo show "My Life on the D-List," was being honored
for the Outstanding Reality Program, overtaking ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition" after multiple attempts, when she launched into the tirade.
But cast members at the Miracle Theater in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., say they have
had all they can stand.
"We, as Christian entertainers, do not take it lightly that the name of our Lord
and Savior has been mocked, and in response, we took out an ad in USA Today to
stand up for Him," the group said.
The group purchased a USA Today ad, for almost $100,000, on Sept. 17 to say,
"'Enough is Enough!' The name of Jesus Christ should not be mocked, nor should
those who love Him be slandered for their beliefs. It is time for people of
faith around the country to stand firm against religious slander, bias, and
bigotry of all types including Christianity!"
"We are the actors, singers, dancers, crew and managers of Miracle Theater in
Pigeon Forge, Tenn. We are proud to stand on stage every night and use our
God-given talents to portray the life and the love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ. We, along with thousands of other Christians in the entertainment
industry, know our talents do come from God, and we take offense when His name
is battered and bruised by people through the media. Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus
was mocked and few stood up for Him. We at The Miracle Theater consider it an
honor to stand for Jesus today," the group said.
Griffin, at the 59th annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards held recently, said:
"I guess hell froze over. A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this.
He had nothing to do with this. ... Suck it, Jesus! This award is my god now,"
she said.
The statement brought an immediate reaction from Bill Donohue, president of
Catholic League. He called it a "vulgar in-your-face brand of hate speech" from
a self-described "complete militant atheist."
He continued: "Mel Gibson. Michael Richards. Isaiah Washington. Imus. Jerry
Lewis. Every time a celebrity offends a segment of the population, he pays a
price, in one way or another. The question now is whether Kathy Griffin will pay
a similar price for her outburst. And as we have learned, her verbal assault was
calculated."
The Miracle Theater organization said: "Our attempt is not to throw stones at
Ms. Griffin, or anyone else. It is every American's God given right to worship
freely and to speak freely. We believe, however, that as Christians, we should
not accept her mockery of our Lord quietly! What is shocking to us is how people
tend to respond to comments like this about Jesus Christ. It made our heart sick
to see people in the audience at the Emmys laughing at Griffin's remarks."
The idea for its petition effort, "Million Voices for Christ," came about after
many people saw the original ad, and called to express their thanks. The group
then purchased a second ad to announce its petition plans.
"It seemed that many were looking for a way to speak out on the matter. If we
together stand up and say, 'Enough is Enough!' we can show the media that there
are MILLIONS OF US that love our Lord! With a million signatures, together, we
can remind Hollywood that this country was founded on the principles of God's
Holy Word," the group said.
"The message of this petition is simple respect. Our primary objective is to
give any person who wants to speak out in support of Christ an outlet to do so,"
said Russ Hollingsworth, general manager of The Miracle Theater. "There is
strength in numbers. One million people speaking up just can't be ignored."
He said every American has the right to worship freely and to speak freely. "We
believe, however, that as Christians it's time for us to take a stand for our
faith and ask for respectful treatment from the media and the entertainment
industry."

Christian Group Publishes $90K Ad in 'USA Today' Condemning Kathy
Griffin Article Date: 09/21/2007
By Ross von Metzke
If Kathy Griffin's ultimate goal in life is to get off of the 'D
List', winning an Emmy was a good start-and pissing off a Christian
Theatre so much they'd drop $90,000 on an ad in USA Today condemning
her Emmy speech is the icing on the cake.
The Miracle Theatre Group, based in Pigeon Forge, TN-the same part of
the world Dolly Parton is from-was so offended by Kathy's acceptance
speech, in which she said Jesus had nothing to do with her winning
the award, they pooled funds to take out the full page ad in the
daily newspaper, according to the Associated Press.
According to DListed.com, the ad, which ran Monday, read: "We at The
Miracle Theater consider it an honor to stand for Jesus today. We may
never win a national award. We may never be household names. We may
never be seen in Hollywood. Although others may choose to use their
national platform to slander our God, we are honored as professional
entertainers to stand for Christ."
Griffin won the prestigious Emmy award from her reality show, My Life
on the D List. In her acceptance speech, the notoriously raunchy
comedian said: "I want you to know that no one had less to do with
this award than Jesus. So, all I can say is, 'suck it, Jesus.' This
award is my god now."
Christian groups have been up and arms about Griffin's speech since
the ceremony two weeks ago. While Griffin hasn't issued an apology,
she clarified on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that her intention was to
poke for at all the artists who dedicate their various awards to
Jesus and then turn around and party until the sun comes up.
