We live in a society that
watches murder, and lying and adultery and corruption in all its
forms as evening entertainment. We love it. We practically worship
it. We certainly pay those who live out these behaviours our highest
honours.
Shows
like “The Real Housewives of (pick your area) is wildly popular. That is a show that revels in the bottom feeding characteristics of human nature, and we as a society care not a bit. And then comes Duck Dynasty. I've
never actually watched an episode, but apparently a lot of people do
watch it on a regular basis. I think I heard it's the top rated show
on that Network.
I
do know this. The show does not put forth human behaviours and
thoughts that we wouldn't want our children watching. Unless you're
anti hunting I suppose. But let one of the characters express an
unpopular thought, and the show is cancelled. Cancelled by the
Network! Not because the ratings were bad, but because during an interview one of the characters was asked his opinion and when he gave his opinion people who are afraid of secular bigots, or who are themselves secular bigots decided that this character must be punished for his thoughts.
One
person who represented GLADD was outraged – outraged I tell you –
that the Bible compares homosexuality to bestiality. He was referring
to the Duck Dynasty character's reference to a couple verses in the
Bible where homosexuality and drunkenness, and idolatry and yes,
bestiality are all listed as practices that will ensure the person
does not spend eternity in heaven.
Well,
in that passage, homosexuality and bestiality are similar the same
way that jay-walking and credit card fraud are similar. The
latter are both wrong in the eyes of the civil law code, while the former are both listed in the Bible as sin.
Which, for what it's worth should not bother heathens and pagans and atheists in the least. If you don't care about God, why should you care about what He says?

This GLADD representative tried to say that the tv show's character has the right
of free speech, “while we have the right to turn your show off.”
Technically true, but now, because of the secular thought police, those who overlook the show's
character's belief while still enjoying the show, can no longer choose to turn
the show on. Secular bigots and those afraid of the power these bigots wield, have taken away the right to choose. In reality, secular bigots have made free speech a thing of the past.
Addicts,
adulterers, wife abusers, those who neglect their children or raise
them in the most horrendous conditions, those people are still our
Stars and tv heroes. But find out that one tv personality holds a
politically incorrect belief and he's gone. Not just him but the
whole show.
