ABC (Anyone but Christians)

Besides, loving political cartoons, I also enjoy the ocassional forwarded emails. Here is one I recieved last night. I thought for sure this was another one in a long list of hoaxes being spread around, the kind to rile up the christian community, but alas! I was wrong. I checked Snopes. com this morning and found this exchange did take place, though it didn't come from the programming department. Here is the explanation from Snopes

Writes  To ABC Network
Jim  Writes:

My  name is Jim Neugent. I wrote to ABC (on-line) concerning a  program called 'THE PRACTICE.' In last nights episode, one  of the lawyer's mothers decided she is gay and wanted her  son to go to court and help her get a marriage license so  she could marry her 'partner.' I sent the following letter  to ABC yesterday and really did not expect a reply, but I  did get one.

My  original message was:

ABC is obsessed with the subject  of homosexuality. I will no longer watch any of your  attempts to convince the world that homosexuality is OK. '  THE PRACTICE' can be a fairly good show, but last night's  program was so typical of your agenda. You picked the  'dufus' of the office to be the one who was against the idea  of his mother being gay, and made him look like a whiner  because he had convictions. This type of mentality calls  people like me a 'gay basher.'

Read the first chapter of Romans  (that's in the Bible); and see what the apostle Paul had to  say about it...... He, God and Jesus were all 'gay bashers'.  What if she'd fallen in love with her cocker spaniel? Is  that an alternative life style? (By the way, the Bible  speaks against that, too.)
--Jim Neugent

Here  is ABC's reply from the ABC on-line webmaster:

How  about getting your nose out of the Bible (which is ONLY a  book of stories compiled by MANY different writers hundreds  of years ago) and read the declaration of independence (what  our nation is built on), where it says 'All Men are Created  equal,' and try treating them that way for a change!

Or better yet, try thinking for yourself and stop  using an archaic book of stories as your lame crutch for  your existence. You are in the minority in this country, and  your boycott will not affect us at ABC or our freedom of  statement.

Jim Neugent's second response to  ABC:


Thanks for your reply. From  your harsh reply, evidently I hit a nerve. I will share it  with all with whom I come in contact. Hopefully, the   Arkansas Democrat  Newspaper will include it in one of their columns and I will  be praying for you.

Note: Wouldn't  Satan just love it if people stopped using the Bible for a  crutch?
Please resend this to everyone in your mailbox.

I  wonder if the person from ABC considered how many people  would eventually read this e-mail!

Please,  if you are a Christian, pass this on to others so they may  be aware.
