Emmy Awards Blasphemy
Sep 22, 2007
Fellow Christians :


The time to stand up for our Christ and to let our voices be heard is NOW! Our Lord has been attacked publicly and we need to speak up!


 


We need 1 million people to stand for Christ now so that our voices will be heard! Go to http://www.miracletheater.com/  to take a stand for your faith not to be slandered.


 


Surely by now you have heard Kathy Griffin’s unconscionable comments at the Emmy Awards about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If you have not, they are as follows: “A Lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no on had less to do with this award than Jesus. S**k it Jesus. This award is my god now!”


 


Had Ms. Griffin merely misspoken or let her comments die quietly, millions of people would have probably overlooked the slander.  Had she apologized for her words, Christians would have gladly accepted her apology. However, it is evident from her own homepage that, “that will go down as one of the best quotes in Emmy history!”


 


If her comments slandered any other religion or an ethnic group, would this be tolerated? It seems acceptable to some media. New York Magazine on their website said they could count on Ms. Griffin to “inject a little energy into a boring awards show”.  They went on to say that they were not disappointed when Ms. Griffin unleashed her “joyfully blasphemous rant.” However, the same writers of the website found nothing acceptable about a remark that caused Don Imus to lose his job.  They labeled his remarks one of the “Great Moments in Bigoted Slurs.”  New York Magazine is apparently not alone in their opinions.  The website of the Arizona Daily Star in an article written by StarNet producer and AZNightBuzz Editor, Jaynell Ramon, called Ms. Griffin’s speech  “one of the smartest things she’s ever done” and “refreshing”.


 


We, as Christian entertainers, do not take it lightly that the name of our Lord and Savior has been mocked and in response, we have taken out a full page ad in USA Today to stand up for Him.  The ad ran on Monday, September 17, 2007. Our attempt is not to throw stones at Ms. Griffin, or anyone else.  We believe that every American has the right to worship freely and to speak freely.


 


It is time for America to stand together and say, “Enough is Enough!”  No longer will we as Christians accept the mockery of our faith and our Lord.   Please join us by going to our website at www.miracletheater.com  and signing our petition NOW.  If unified, the media can no longer ignore us.  We need one million signatures to be heard.  Pass this information to everyone in your church family, friends, relatives, co-workers, city leaders, or anyone that is concerned about this complacency that has infected our nation.  Please go to http://www.miracletheater.com/


 


Please E-mail this to all of your friends now! Thank you!


 


May God Bless you,
