CBS weenies cave in to political pressure
http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=35477
Truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction – and the latest TV follies prove it.

Would you believe? On Nov. 4, ABC aired one of the most controversial TV specials ever, called "Jesus, Mary and Da Vinci." Expanding on legends from the best-selling novel, "The Da Vinci Code," ABC told viewers that Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute, after all. She was, according to some theologians, the wife of Jesus and the mother of his child.

That's right, sports fans. ABC says Jesus was a married man who fathered a child by Mary Magdalene. You would expect a hurricane of outrage, but there was barely a whisper. Why? Because conservatives were too busy protesting a CBS movie about former President Ronald Reagan.

1. Perhaps fundies instinctively suspect...
...that Jesus was just another myth?

But Reagan ... he's their Chosen One.

2. what a load of
Horse shit . How come You have never seen a movie about the true life story of Mohammad the Prophet?> Jesus has ben done so often they have to think of lies to spice it up. Mohammad the Prophet had a 9 year old bride who would carry dolls into bed with him. Not to mention all the slave girls and extra wives.

Plenty of spice and nobody has ever seen the story, but it still hasn't been made. You know why ?

3. I'm floored.
Okay, I'm cynical enough that news doesn't really shock me anymore, but this?

HOLY CRAP!
