    CBS will discontinue "Touched by an Angel" for using the word God in every program. Madeline Murray O'Hare, an atheist, successfullymanaged

    As a christian,I am,of course,upset about all of this.But,I suppose people will always be afraid of somethig that they can not fully understand,and try to change things.

    P.S.Did you ever stop to think that they might be cancelling
    "Touched by an Angel" just because it sucks?

    If they are cancelling Touched by an Angel because it has God's name in it than that is just wrong, and undemocratic on so many levels. I doubt that they would do that... it's gotta be against the constitution *cough* Article I: Freedom of speech, religion, press, petition and assembly. *cough*

    personally, i hate having religion every where. but, i will never figure it to be an excuse at to why something should be removed. if it gets way to annoying, then sure, but something liek this show? it's not that bad, and i really don't like christianity too much. i'd insert a cough, but i don't want that kinda debate on my hands. BUT, they have every right to do a show with it as the main theme.

    it was a crap show, but there was no reason to have it cancelled.. it's not as if it was forcing people to believe inn christianity..

    it's just another mythological show, like hercules or xena.. just a load wussier :)

    I think thats a silly reason to ban it. Heaven forbid that a message of hope might mention God somewhere.

    The only other thing I'd like is if fundamentalists would stop trying to ban everything THEY dont like.

    Oh please. Just about EVERYONE gets offended nowadays! :mad:

    I don't like religion being everywhere either, but I just LIVE with it. I mean, live and let live! If they dont' like the show, don't watch it! Jeez.

    Banning a show because it had religious stuff in it is the most retarded thing I've heard in a while. If people don't like it, they shouldn't watch it(with that show, they wouldn't be missing anything anyway). So yeah, stupid. Extremely so.

    I believe that we should use God in more programs. As a refrence to God, not in vein. Now-a-days, there are soo many places that dont let you even speak of God, and that in itself is a sin.
