Somehow, I get the feeling - this will only follow Hollywood's version of the Bible. With lot's of gotcha's for how bad God is - like why he created "Super Gonorrhea", etc...

There could be a positive side to this, generating more conversations on the subject.

Of course the sway will be HOLLYWOOD that is what's happening. That is where all the knowledge is. Otherwise why would their political opinions be sought out for headlines?

me 'n y'all ain't gonna decide what is in the script, I just betcha! Shocked

I never watch TV so I will wait here for the reviews. Cool

The sitcom is leftist garbage.

I watched about 6 minutes of it and deleted it from my dvr and upcoming recordings. . . .

Dont waste your time and hopefully it will be cancelled within a few weeks

The program sounded like a 'Religious Cheers', I'd probably like it. But I haven't watched tv more than 4 hours in the last 10 years. I cannot hear that fast, nor read that fast if it is closed captioned.

I just can' believe OTCP is so judgemental! Shocked

I bet the priest and the Rabbi have REAL DD's behind their names too! Shucks ABC can't do nothing rite! But they is tryin', evidently Fox don't have no Bible programs! Embarassed

I think Fox News is the Bible to some people. God help us all! Embarassed

I just now watched the pilot on CBS online. It was humorous. I realize it was probably just for added comic effect, but the priest implies that living biblically means one is obligated to keep the Law of Moses. I think bradfreeman would get a kick out of the show.

It is important to note that the pilot at least does not represent the man as having had a conversion experience. I have no idea how the rest of the season will develop, but the pilot appears to be a guy who is a lapsed Catholic simply trying to use the Bible as a moralistic guide to a better life. It was pretty funny when he interpreted the scriptural command about stoning adulterers to mean he should hit his adulterous coworker in the head with a rock.

I think that clips from the show could be used to show how absurd trying to live â€˜biblicallyâ€™ is if one lacks a basic grasp on important things like Christian doctrine, the New Covenant, and how to properly interpret and apply the Scriptures, especially the Old Testament Scriptures in light of the New Covenant.

I thought it was great.
It is not theology...it is no apologetics.
It is culture's view on God not Christianity.

I thought it was funny...in particular the scene where he "stoned the adulterer."
Hilarious...literally LAUGHED OUT LOUD.

What I know about this program I will learn here. BUT for a fact it will not be written to win folks to Christ. BUT I guarantee it it stays on the air Fundamental people will be drawn into Bible discussions. I hope it hangs in there. I think I could watch it and laugh also.

One thing we as Christians start doing when something like this comes up is try to fit it into 'OUR VIEW OF THE BIBLE' and common sense tells you that ain't gonna happen. I suggest you watch every once in awhile if it hunts. Just to be able to honestly engage your friends or real critics.

Ever watch the Waltons? The whole family goes to church, carries Bibles etc. Daddy does not. Says he feels close to nature out on the mountain, and if there is a God he did a masterful job.

I had several very good discussions with friends because of this. It caused me to seek better info than I had. It may not have helped my friends, but it caused me to search the scriptures more.

When it first started I felt like I had accidentally found a gun fight and all I had was a knife, Embarassed
