Something To Get People In An Uproar

A friend emailed this to me. What's your opinion?
AN ABC MESSAGE YOU HAVE TO READ If more of us took a stand maybe we could have some decent TV programs. -- Jim Nugent is a coach in Childress, Texas. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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! obsesse d (or should I say abscessed) ! 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 lifes tyle? (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 (wh! ich is ONLY a book of stories compiled by MANY different write! rs hundr eds of years ago) and read the declaration of independence (what our nation is built on), where it says "A ll 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 minority in this country and your boycott will not affect us 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. - -Jim Neugent

Please resend this to everyone in your mailbox. -- Thanks, Jim Neugent

Interesting topic. Been having discussions about gays with my mom. While I don't understand the lifestyle, some of my best friends are gay and tend to be a better quality of people than others I know. I go to church on a regular basis and I really ticks me off when the pastor bashes gays. I believe that gays often have no choice in their preferences; it's a biological, brain chemistry thing. As such, they deserve to be treated like other people, accepted into the community and not measured by any religious group's standards. So much more to be said about this!
