Christians Petition Netflix to Cancel Good Omens
More than 20,000 Christians have petitioned Netflix to cancel the series Good Omens, a satire about religion and Armageddon.

Netflix doesn't carry Good Omens, Amazon does.

The irony is that I don't, after doing a quick search, see any petitions against The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which is filled to the brim with Satanic pride.

I wonder how theists would react if the secular community petitioned the sequel to The Passion.

Oh look. More anti-SJW snowflakes.

So not only they are snowflakes crying and imagined booboo, they are also dumb as bag of bricks.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.

Up to you, but I figure that thread's about the show and this one's about the thundering stoopidity.

Dude, Christians are the original snowflakes! What the hell else to you call someone who thinks they are being "persecuted" just because they don't have complete and total power anymore?

These Christians' ability to hit the target they're aiming for is about as good as the Stormtroopers.

And Amazon retaliates!

https://www.cnet.com/news/netflix-jokes-...CAD590a51e

Quote:Amazon tweeted at Netflix a few hours later and said it would cancel Stranger Things if the rival streaming service took Good Omens down.


Quote:The petition, which has since corrected the error, says the show mocks religion for depicting "God as a tyrant and the Devil as being good." The Christian group behind the campaign found issues with other aspects of the show as well, like God being voiced by a woman, the portrayal of the Antichrist as a normal kid, the four riders of the apocalypse as a biker gang and more.

Actually, sounds like it might be worth checking out.  Thanks, xhristards....oh, and fuck your stupid god.

Hardly a stretch, as any parent of young kids knows, they are antichrists.

And, like the kid on the show, they tend to grow out of it. Not as fast as he did, but still...

I haven't seen Good Omens yet, but I did read the novel about twenty to twenty-three years ago.

I'm still holding out for a Small Gods movie.
Don't mistake me for those nice folks from Give-A-Shit county.
