Hey BBC, the devil called...you left your lip gloss on his bedside table

Once again the propagators of moral corruptness that so cleverly hide behind the tactless garb of artistic freedom have stepped deeper into their own excrement and found themselves driven by the support of a major broadcast corporation. With the help of the BBC, closet God-haters can now relish in televised blasphemy. And those with wont to indulge Christian mockery but have previously not had the proper channel to turn to, can thank the BBC for accommodating them.

With the leaders and idealists of free countries relishing in the 'progress' made by social reform, praising the conquest of liberal humanism over conservative 'close-mindedness', and waving the flags of a new 'tolerance', there seems to be a corporate energy that is fueling the war machine against the only remaining enemy: Biblical Christianity.

Perhaps we Christians should not be surprised that the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) is airing Jerry Springer's "The Opera", a piece of crap - I mean art - that depicts Jesus, Mary, and God as "sexual deviants who give and receive extreme verbal abuse and a horrific series of blasphemies, all in the name of comedy". After all, they regularly air 'scholarly' programs attempting to pick apart bible stories such as the Genesis account of Noah's Ark. And they are always pleased to 'properly represent' the historical truth about the life and times of Jesus - bringing in more 'scholars' to tell us how the Bible is "a cute little book of literary forms" that romanticises and distorts the 'real' story as a means of promoting a religious movement. They would never think of having a panel of reputable conservative New Testament scholars who can, for instance, speak very intelligently and convincingly about the historical reliability of the Gospel of Luke. The media, with its liberal agenda, seems intent on sucker-punching biblical objective truth and then quickly jumping behind a rock. But while we should not necessarily be surprised with the airing of "The Opera" we would be remiss to not be both appalled with its content and angered by its utter blasphemy.

It is becoming more and more clear that, in the current climate of liberal ideological dominance, the only acceptable prejudice is that which rails against Biblical Christianity. As Christians we should actually expect this type of prejudice and even rejoice in its value as a prophetic fulfillment of the words of Jesus: "...and you will be hated by all because of My name" (Luke 21:17). But while I would proudly wear any badge that said "hated by the world" for the sake of Jesus I can not resign to a position of passive forbearance. I will endure to the end but not with 'my tail between my legs'. Let not the expected reality of a disbelieving world pacify us into a state of inaction. This type of blatant and tasteless attack on Christianity can not fly without the winds of our righteous discontent making it a bumpy ride. Christians need to take some sort of action against the unrelenting media and their tasteless disregard for the Bible and the Christian demographic.

One can only wonder about the kind of outrage that would ensue if the BBC, or any broadcasting corporation for that matter, aired a program that ridiculed Mohammed, Buddha, or the Hindu religion. If the BBC aired a program that depicted Mohammed as a pedophilic crossdresser there would be a global outrage the likes of which we have never seen. I hope it is not unfair and presumptuous of me to write this but I wager that if the BBC aired anything blatantly disparaging about Islam, there would be within a week a pile of rubble and smoke where the BBC main broadcast headquarters once stood. But when it comes to Jesus and Christianity the BBC seems to throw all good sense, respect, and courteousness to the wind. It is within allowable censorship and in good judgment to depict Jesus as a verbally abusive sexual deviant, but the minute a Christian with sound moral principles presents an argument against gay marriage the cries of discrimination can be heard around the world. The double standard of our 'free-thinking', 'open-minded' world is confounding.

If the BBC was ever, in decades past, a monogamous bride married to respectability, in today's climate of moral ambiguity it now stands in stark contrast as an adulterous whore bedding depravity when it seems fit or popular to do so. It is disgusting that a corporation could in one breath plea for us to pray for the victims of the tsunamis and in the next breath promote something that blasphemes the God we Christians pray to. Such is the current state of media integrity.

Perhaps once the chaste bride of moral soundness, the BBC finds itself drunk on the blood of character and virtue - and in bed with the devil. Bad form BBC...extremely bad form!

With dramatic expressivity and perhaps undue rhetoric,
