Hey, remember that guy Jesus?
I know his teachings have gotten a bit lost lately, what with all the
war and torture and bombings and reverends saying things like "blow
them all away in the name of the Lord."

But have no fear - Jesus is back!
Don't expect to see him on a broadcast station near you, though.
Last week CBS, UPN, and NBC announced that they would not be airing a
commercial by the United Church of Christ because it is "too
controversial" and "unacceptable for broadcast."
What blasphemies does this commercial contain?
Well, it features a church with mean-looking bouncers outside turning
away gay, minority, and disabled parishioners, and concludes with the
message "Jesus didn't turn people away. Neither do we."
Hey, wait a minute - that actually sounds like real Christianity!
But I guess the whole "love thy neighbor" thing is a bit passé these
days, what with the triumph of George W. Bush's gay-hating "moral
majority."
Kudos to CBS, UPN and NBC for preventing a church from promoting the
old-fashioned Christian tenet of inclusiveness.
We won't be needing any of THAT in George W. Bush's America, thank you
very much.
