Quote# 60248

From the beginning, the producers of television have had an agenda. Even in the most “harmless” of shows, alternative lifestyles are being promoted. Consider, for example, “The Andy Griffith Show.” The show centers around a single parent who lives with his aunt. Admittedly, his wife supposedly died, and he is not divorced. However, we are still being desensitized to the idea of a single parent which is neither the norm nor God’s plan. The show also features a character, Gomer Pile, who is played by a man who is a homosexual in real life.



Consider the show “The Odd Couple” from the 1960’s. Aside from sinful content, we are being exposed to an alternative lifestyle of two men living together as roommates. Genesis 2:24 tells us God’s normal plan, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Although neither man in the show is a homosexual, this show was obviously a forerunner of the sitcoms of today which feature homosexual characters.



Consider “The Brady Bunch.” The show is about a widowed man and a widowed woman who have three children each. Now they are married and have six children collectively. This is an extremely rare scenario but mirrors the very common scenario of divorce and remarriage. We are subliminally being exposed to the idea of stepparents and stepchildren which is far more common in divorced situations than in the rare circumstance of young widows.

So you think people should get married right out of the womb? You think the Andy Griffith character should have gotten remarried right after his wife's funeral with the first person who came along? Also, two men living together as roommates is not an alternative lifestyle. Wtf.

Make up your mind. Andy Griffith is bad because it portrays a widow raising a child as a single parent. The Brady Bunch is bad because two widowed people are not raising their children as single parents.

As the daughter of a woman who was widowed at age 27, I know widowed people with children aren't as uncommon as this asshole thinks. Nor is anything wrong with waiting for love again--or taking the chance when it does come along. I hope this isn't a working pastor.

By the way, in this book I read, one of the main characters said something about how his followers should be kind to widows, orphans, and the fatherless. Do you know it, Mr. Anderson?

The Brady Bunch? Really? The show that wouldn't even let you see the toilet in the bathroom?

Right. The Brady Bunch is an evil show. No traditional family values there. Nope.

I think this might be a repost, I remember reading the Odd Couple part before. Not sure about Andy Griffith and Brady Bunch though.

Hi Steven L. Anderson, it must be terrificly difficult for you to cope, being born with the mind of a fundie in the body of a human being. I'm afraid you're on the wrong planet. Take a sharp left at Epsilon Eridani, carry straight on for 14,000 light years, turn right just before the planetary nebula that looks like Jesus playing the banjo (don't get excited, it's only yet another example of pareidolia), and make straight for the big swirly thing about 20 light years in front of you. That's where all the fundies are, and where they belong.

Your idea of a family is not the only one out there, it's not the only one there's ever been, and it's not the only way it will ever be. You need to just get used to it already.

Here I thought Gomer would get kicked out for incompetence. Not homosexuality.

Are we sure this isn't David J. Stewart's sock puppet? It sure sounds like him. Can there be two such idiots in the world?
