ABC NEWS

My name is Jim Neugent. I wrote to ABC (on-line)
concerning a program called “THE PRACTICE.” One of the
lawyer’s mothers decided she was gay and wanted her
son to go to court to help her get a marriage license
to marry her ‘partner.’ I sent the following letter to
ABC yesterday and really did not expect a reply….but
I did get one. My original message was:

ABC is obsessed (or should I say abscessed) with the
subject of homosexuality. I will no longer watch any
of your attempts to convince the world that
homosexuality is OK. THE PRACTICE can be a fairly good
show but last night’s program was so typical of your
agenda. You picked the ‘dufus’ of the office to be
the one who was against the idea of his mother being
gay and made him look like a whiner because he had
convictions. This type of mentality calls people like
me a “gay basher.” Read the first chapter of Romans
(that’s in the Bible) and see what the apostle Paul
had to say about it…He and God and Jesus were all
‘gay bashers.’ What if she’d fallen in love with
her cocker spaniel…. is that an alternative style?

(By the way, the Bible speaks against that, too.)

Here is ABC’s reply from the ABC on-line Webmaster:

How about getting your nose out of the Bible (which is
ONLY a book of stories compiled by MANY different
writers hundreds of years ago) and read the
Declaration of Independence (what our nation is built
on) where it says “All Men are Created Equal”-and try
treating them that way for a change!? Or better yet,
try thinking for yourself and stop using an archaic
book of stories as your lame crutch for your existence.
You are in the minority in this country and your
boycott will not affect us or our freedom of statement

My second response to ABC:

Thanks for your reply. Evidently, I hit a nerve from
your harsh reply. I will share it with all with whom
I come in contact. Hopefully, the Arkansas Democrat
Newspaper will include it in one of their columns.
And…I will be praying for you.

Note: Wouldn’t Satan just love it if people stopped using
the Bible for a “crutch”?

Thanks.
