Modern-day Jesus coming to NBC television

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A modern-day Jesus is coming to prime-time television.
The NBC network, eager for new hits to reverse a ratings slump, said on Friday it has given a mid-season 2005-06 commitment to a new drama titled "The Book of Daniel," depicting Christ as a contemporary confidant to a pill-popping priest.

How nice of NBC to offer a program with a "modern day Jesus" to boost ratings. NOT. How sad that people in the entertainment industry don't get the fact that our modern day Jesus is, was, and always will be, the beginning and the end. Not ancient, not modern, simply
"I AM." It's sad that NBC is also conveniently making the pastor Episcopal, given all the media attention about the rifts in the church. I won't be watching this show.
