This thread became relevant again with ABC's new television show, Good Christian Bitches. I'm sure they'd air something similar involving other religions too.

I know! Poor poor persecuted Christians

Instead of Good Christian Bitches, other groups, like Muslims, get shows like All-American Muslim, and Little Mosque On The Prarie. Yep, no difference there.

ZOMG!!!! I hope Christianity can survive this!!!!!

Of course. It just goes to show you the double standard. Apparently in just 2 episodes, they've insulted Christians 72 times. Once again, other groups, like Muslims, get shows called All-American Muslims, and Little Mosque On The Prarie.

The name of the book the series is based on is Good Christian Bitches, but the tv series is called simply "GCB," which I've read stands for "Good Christian Belles," so as not to be too offensive.

I think they'd air a similar show about Jews, but not about Muslims.

Complete nonsense. Shouting somebody down in an action designed to not allow them to speak absolutely does infringe on their freedom of speech. Come'on man, stop being ridiculous.

Then please stop infringing on my rights and freedom of speech.

I was sure that this thread was a joke.

I feel terrible for the poor Christians... imagine how awful it would be to turn on the TV and find negative stereotypes about people like you. Bitch, please. I'm a natural blonde. Been there, done that. Continuously.


So this show, as I understand it, is like a Bible Belt version of a soap opera. I also read it described as a scripted version of "The Real Housewives of Orange County". I hear that some of the characters are *gasp!* negative portrayals of Christians. How horrible is that?

Imagine the outrage if you could turn on your TV and see Muslim dudes who were actually sleeper cell terrorists that Jack Bauer or NCIS have to track down. Imagine if you could turn on your TV and see Italian mobsters or black gangsters. Imagine the outrage! But no, only Christians face this sort of bigotry.

My heart goes out to the poor persecuted Christians, as always.

Consider it payback for "Touched By An Angel", I guess.

So, to bring this post back to the threat title, I congratulate the County of Lackawanna Transit System for standing up for Persecuted Christians in America (or, at least, the Scranton parts of America.) Thanks to the patriots at COLTS, Persecuted Christians will not have their sensibilities offended by having to see the word "Atheist" roll by on buses. Praise be!

Update!!

Justin Vacula, the guy who attempted to run these shocking ads, provided a couple of updates on his blog.

The first:

A solicitor representing the County of Lackawanna Transit System (COLTS) has informed me that the "God Bless America" messages on the 'public relations' signs atop COLTS buses will no longer be shown.

Presumably the people at COLTS came to the realization that they sounded like imbeciles trying to claim impartiality in matters of religion while their buses were bumping around flying "God Bless America!" on the banner.

OH, those poor Christians! They have been deprived of their daily bus-blessing by the godless atheists! Darn it!! Oh, the persecution!


Second update:
COLTS driver and local fat-ass Daniel Wittenbreder has been disciplined by COLTS for contacting Justin on Facebook to say:

DONT YOU EVER SHOW YOUR FACE ON MY BUS YOU LITTLE PUNK

Poor Daniel! This poor God-fearing Christian has been deprived of his right of religious expression by the fascist bus company! Darn it!! Oh, the persecution! Hopefully his union rep can show him where to find the caps-lock key.

This perspective was much needed in this thread, but to be fair it's still not alright when they do it to Christians. It's not alright when they do it to anyone. Nevertheless, the hypocrisy of the moral outrage from some people about this show is way over the top.

Yep. And I recall you bitching about it about it, too. Poor "persecuted" blondes, eh? Sometimes it's all I can do to get out of bed in the morning and face the cold cruel world.

It was suppose to be. But I love it when somebody accidently stumbles on to the truth.

Uh oh, more incovenient truth...

New York Times accused of Catholic bashing, double standard on religion

The New York Times is being accused of having a double standard when it comes to questioning religion, after it ran an ad calling on Catholics to leave their church, but nixed an ad making the same plea to Muslims

No real suprise here. Christianity is still the only acceptable target in society today, to practice one's bigotry. It's amazing how accurate this thread really is.
