Bernie Kunkel: Viewer Says We Were Wrong! Book of Daniel Is
Worse Than We Reported!
Below is the letter I sent to Jim O'Sullivan who is president of Mazda
North American Operations. I also wrote to the other advertisers listed
below in the alert from The American Family Association. Please send
your letters and encourage others to call or write. Let's demonstrate
to these businesses that they will suffer consequences for their
sponsorship of such filth.
Bernie
Dear Mr. O'Sullivan,
I am deeply disappointed that your company helped sponsor The
Book of Daniel. Perhaps this was simply an
oversight on your part.
As you know by now, the program demeans Christians and Christianity.
I will wait to see if you sponsor the program in the future, and if you
do will conclude that you agree that demeaning Christians and
Christianity is worthy of your corporate funds. And if you continue your
sponsorship of The Book of Daniel,
you will lose my family as customers ---- forever.
Sincerely,
Bernard J. Kunkel

Viewer Says We Were Wrong! Book of Daniel Is Worse Than We
Reported!
Dear Bernie,
The Book of Daniel was aired by NBC on Friday night. Several NBC
affiliates did not carry the program including those in Beaumont, TX;
Tupelo, MS; Meridian, MS, Little Rock, AR; and Terre Haute, IN. In
addition, NBC lost several million dollars when advertisers pulled out.
NBC ended up selling the time for pennies on the dollar. The review
below before sums up the emails we received by those who watched the
program.
"I watched the Book of Daniel show on NBC tonight just so I could
see if it was as bad as you said. Mr. Wildmon you have it wrong - it
was worse than you described. The so called pastor takes drugs,
smokes, drinks, takes the Lord's name in vain. He supports
homosexuality and drug use. He broke the law by giving out
prescription drugs to a Bishop. Two Bishops were committing
adultery. They mis-quoted the Bible. The program portrayed our
Savior in a joking way. There was a corrupt Catholic priest. The
maid smokes pot. The Bishop drinks, the pastor's wife is a drunk and
her sister is a lesbian and the son is a homosexual. One son sleeps
around. I found this program very offensive to my Christian beliefs.
They were poking fun at our Savior."
WBIR in Knoxville invited ministers in to see the program. Here are some
of their comments. Rev. Brian Kearns, minister of Lighthouse
Christian Church: "I think it's very demeaning to Christianity. If
this is their view of Christianity, it's going to be as a joke. It's an
assault on the Christian faith." Rev. Tom Seay, pastor Bearden United
Methodist Church: "It's just a pretty sorry piece of work." Dale
Powers from the Catholic Diocese of Knoxville: "You're portraying
something as normal that is just absurd." Rev. John Stuart (no church
identified): "Christ is at the center of my worship. What the show
has done is demean my faith. You've diminished the person I
worship...you've wounded me."
These comments are typical of those who watched the first episode.
Since the tone and content of the show is now known, call your NBC
affiliate and ask them not to carry any more episodes of the program.
Very important: Ask your local advertisers to pull their adverting from
your NBC affiliate if they continue to air the program.
