Great mini series!!! about time hollywood gets the point that we Christians out number the rest of the people and stop the anti christian bias. 

the 3 weeks it's been on, it's the number one rated tv show on all of TV, not just cable. Thank God! God Bless Mark burnett & Roma downey who help make this mini series.

Why not something Wild and Crazy??? Something totally Insane??? Something to Blow the Mind and Boggle the Imagination???

Just look up the Religions of the World by population...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religious_populations

The CIA's World Factbook gives the world population as 7,021,836,029 (July 2012 est.) and the distribution of religions as

Christian 33.39% (of which Roman Catholic 16.85%, Protestant 6.15%, Orthodox 3.96%, Anglican 1.26%)
Muslim 22.74%
Hindu 13.8%
Buddhist 6.77%
Sikh 0.35%
Jewish 0.22%
Baha'i 0.11%
other religions 10.95%
non-religious 9.66%
atheists 2.01%

(2010 est.).

The movie is never as good as the book..........

I'm not sure that Hollywood owes anyone anything.  They do what they want for a variety of reasons (sending a message....telling a story.....advancing an opinion.....making money).

Awesome show. Perhaps the religious bashers could watch something with an open mind and form an opinion.

It's the greatest book ever written and if you would live by it, you'd have a much better chance of being happy in life.

For instance where does stealing, lying, cheating on the wife, etc. get you? Possible jail time or guilt time? The bible is a roadmap to live a clean life, all the haters should at least investigate it. Even if you don't believe in The Bible, the show is at least great entertainment and well done.

the praise of rightwing republicans, political donations, a seat in congress and a lifetime pension at taxpayer expense?

I guess old wild Bill is exempt from this discussion? Impeachment anyone?

Nice example of this clown Sanford. Wild Bill gets a pension for life, doesn't he? Their all the same, men of NO HONOR. What difference does it make if they come with an (R) or a (D) after their name.

How old are you System? 20-what? And please enlighten me on how you live your life? Ever kill anyone, steal anything, lie, bang your friends wife? Tell me these are positive things.

43, I live my life by treating people the way I want to be treated. I try to do things so I can get along with my fellow man and live in society peacefully.

Are you trying to tell me you need a book for common sense things like don't kill, steal, lie, or "bang on your friends wife"?  And are you saying a book with all these things in it, is a book to follow as a moral compass? 

How do you live your life? How old are you? What would do without the bible? Run around killing, stealing, and raping?

Atheists when arguing will argue for subjective morality...but when you give real life examples of subjective morality, they quickly how there world view is utterly false...

no bill, like most politicians, is a self-righteous scumbag for cheating on his wife, among other things, i'm sure, but i don't really care about cheating that much.  at least 50% of marriages end in divorce, people cheat on their spouses all the time.  what mostly bothers me is ignorance, insecurity and hypocrisy.  so, if you are going to cheat on your wife, don't preach to me about the sanctity of marriage or christian family values or any other sanctimonious hypocriticla bullshit first.  seems like the religious rightwingers are the ones doing this the most.

Good way to live System. I applaud you.

I'm 51 and in the last 2+ years have started gaining knowledge from Bible study. Many, many more concepts than just the commandments I do admit. I have to believe in a higher power, I refuse to believe that this is it and when you die, that's it. But we have freewill to do what we wish or believe/not believe, which in itself is a great gift to me.

Dirt, the world is full of sinners, a politician here or there really doesn't matter. I will never defend a politician that's a fraud. I wouldn't vote for Marion Barry, Bill Clinton, or Sanford after their discressions.
