The Bible series, Satan, Obama
To placate conservatives, producers of The Bible series made Satan look like Obama and took out the Commandment about lying.

Has anyone seen the show, did they really only have 9 commandments or is the DUmmy being a typical DUmmy and lying?

1. They Should Have Made The Devil Look Like Either Bush, Cheney Or Rmoney.....
Then they would have had at least 47% of the people watching.

11. The "Obama" doppleganger was least of the atrocities..
"Bible" in name only. (Aside: "Bible" means 'books' but for the bibli-idolic
among us.. 'Bible' means but one, narrow, judgmental thing...)
This series was atrocious on many levels:
it had a perspective of the evangelical,patriarchal, WHITE right wing.
There was no diversity, no women's voice (unlike the original texts
that portray women who rise up despite their repressed social roles)-
The producers omitted much of what is vital to the book,
despite one's religious perspective.
This was a shame... and the "Obama" doppleganger was a minor point.
But anything to please the fundamentalist, literalistic, shallow, bigoted
right wing.
As a scholar, I was appalled.
Are you a trained scholar?

If by "scholar" you mean "parrot" then...yes.
I have not been watching it but the fact the DUmbass has no citations, only complaints, says much by saying nothing at all.

I'm guessing they left out the part where God came down and told them that abortions and gay sex are fine and dandy.
Damn fundies always seem to leave that out. :rotf:
EDIT -- I modified you post to reflect the edit in my post as I left out the word "not" thereby giving the exact opposite account of my viewing habits. Sorry -- SSB

A little note for the low information DUmmies:
History Channel's surprise hit The Bible tops flailing American Idol in ratings with 13.1million viewers
<snip>
The premier of the History Channel's The Bible attracted 13.1 million viewers, topping American Idol's 12.8 million viewers on Wednesday of the same week.
The ratings have confounded Hollywood's biggest decision-makers. Overt religious programming can be a notorious tough sell to the public, while American Idol has dominated television for the past eight seasons.

Hope the DUmmies don't watch Survivor...they're gonna be shocked as hell when they find out who's producing The Bible.

I love this show. That noel idiot is just making stuff up. He hasn't seen it. No diversity? There's black guys all over the place. Middle Easterners all over the place, as you might imagine. "Patriarchal WHITE right wing." ::) DUmbass.

DUmbass primitive Noel, just go look up the shows characters. The gentlemen that are playing Samson and Balthazar happen to be men of color. That's just two examples of many. Then again I know it's beyond you idiots just to go research something for yourselves.

The most striking part of this was that the History Channel is on cable, and 'American Idol' is on Fox broadcast channel. And it still won.

I don't recall them doing the 10 Commandments, so the DUmmie in the OP is wrong. (Someone pointed out that there is no "lying" commandment anyway, the closest is bearing false witness). The thread was atrocious on many levels.
Balthazar is hot. That is all.

Can be a tough sale? After shows like Touched by an Angel and Highway to Heaven?

Used to watch "Idol"....................don't.
Used to watch "The Voice".............don't.
I'd rather watch Jennifer Love Hewitt...........she's FAR more interesting.

Are you telling me they made a series about the Bible and it isn`t from a communist/feminist/atheist perspective?? :o
The nerve of them.

It seems to be playing it straight....sticking close to the stories in the bible. http://www.history.com/shows/the-bible
I'm not sure about how conservative the producers are either. Roma Downey (Touched by an Angel) and her husband Mark Burnett. He is also producing; Survivor, Celebrity Apprentice, The Voice, and Shark Tank.

There's also the rather well known black actor Keith David (From movies such as 'Barbershop' and 'The Princess and the Frog') providing the narration for some parts. I've only seen a little bit of that miniseries (Waiting for it to come out on DVD), but I'd know his deep voice anywhere.
For the DUmmies whining about the Obama devil, I'd imagine many of them were the same DUmmies who cheered on the movie 'Death of a President' (2006 fake documentary about what would happen if then- president Bush were assassinated).

If DUmmies hate it, it must be good and correct. Liberals are stupid and hate the truth.

They have been on Glenn Beck's show a couple of times. I'm not sure what they believe politically but they seem to be Christians all the way.
