Comments on: What Every Parent Should Know About The TV Show Glee http://christwire.org/2010/01/what-every-parent-should-know-about-the-tv-show-glee/ Conservative Values for an Unsaved World Sat, 11 Feb 2012 08:16:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: harley http://christwire.org/2010/01/what-every-parent-should-know-about-the-tv-show-glee/#comment-202529 harley Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:58:59 +0000 http://christwire.org/?p=3073#comment-202529 I love glee! it is one of my favorite tv shows!! and i think that this article is portrayed in a very unchristian way. The bible calls us to love everyone, even our enemies, and at least some of these people are fellow christians!! I am appalled that someone who adveritses themselves as christians are knocking down some of their own!! And when you lump everyone on a tv show as all being gay, when in fact only a select few are, you are insulting their sexual choices!!! I would be insulted if someone called me gay!! This article is appalling and should be taken down if you want to minister to nonchristians, this is only going to turn them away! If a nonchristian comes to this site and sees that you are degrading one people group, they might think that their way of life is next, and turn away from God. Is our ultimate goal not to get people to Christ??By this article, you are hurting my ministry and the ministry of chrisitians around you. I beg you to think about this stuff before you post something again. And I hope through this experience that you grow closer to Christ, as we all strive. I know through this, I have learned a lesson. Thank you. I love glee! it is one of my favorite tv shows!! and i think that this article is portrayed in a very unchristian way.

The amount of items that are wrong with his assumptions is mind blowing. First of all,(and I will try not to miss any but the lord knows I probably will) being gay IS NOT SOMETHING ONE CHOOSES! To say that one "choose" to be gay and needs to stop and think "oh wait i love Jesus...ill stop being gay" is insane. Besides, whats to say the guy even beliefs in Christ? Secondly, Matthew Morris, the actor who plays Mr.Shue is not gay!! Third, the actor who plays the Kurt Hummel IS gay and they did NOT force him to kiss, his tv boyfriend Blaine, he said they were both completely comfortable with it. Also what the hell is your obsession with the Golden Girls? Oh wait were you one of the boys they "turned" gay, and now have to hide your homosexuality because "you love jesus?"

Jersey Shore. Just wondering, but how is Jersey Shore more Christian than Glee...

Because the NUMBER ONE message conveyed through this television show, is TO BE ACCEPTING OF ALL PEOPLE, NO MATTER THEIR SKIN COLOUR, RELIGION, SITUATION, BELIEFS, TALENTS, PHYSICAL CONDITION OR SEXUALITY. This is something you could do well to learn! This article discriminates against people based on their appearance ("Sue Sylvester"), sexuality ("Kurt Hummel"), religion ("Rachel Berry") and, most shockingly, disability ("Artie Abrams"). You should be absolutely ashamed of yourself as a Christian and a human being, just as I am certain God is of you. Dear Mr Billings,

The writers of this review are clearly homophobic. Glee is a great show, because it supports young gay men who are experiencing a lot of bullying at the moment. What's more, this traditional 'Christian' attitude that 'GAY IS SIN' is not viable anymore - just look the comments on this page, no-one takes you seriously. YOU ARE HOMOPHOBIC AND HAVE NO IDEA OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF A SHOW WHICH SUPPORTS ALL KIND OF STRUGGLING TEENS. This is ridiculous.

Marie Wed, 19 Oct 2011 23:21:33 +0000 http://christwire.org/?p=3073#comment-172116 My ten-year-old sister watches Glee. I do too. She understands what is and isn't right to do and she also knows that, despite the characters being teenagers, the actors are well above the legal age of adulthood and anything shown isn't necessarily real. So why is it that a ten-year-old can understand these things but you can't? We were raised in a Republican household, I'm one myself, and yet we're marginally more accepting than you are, sir. So go fuck yourself. My ten-year-old sister watches Glee. I do too.

Try actually WATCHING the show before you go and start critisizing(sp?) it. You have no right to judge what the writer Ryan Murphy, and all the other people on the show do. It seems to me that someone should get their priorities straightened out, and learn how not to judge a book by it's cover. So, I(and many other people) suggest you get your facts straight. Alright? Kaaaaay thaaaaaanks(: Have a nice(just kidding, don't) day! Icould not agree with what you said more. Try actually WATCHING the show before you go and start critisizing(sp?) it.

"Hoping" they haven't started dating boys yet? Have you ever thought that maybe she dates girls? Also, "rich liberal" is a very defining word. I know I'm liberal, but I'm definitely not on the rich scale. Yet, why is it that I have cable? Maybe you should keep your opinions to yourself because you're basing them on the words people say and not who they actually are. Just like how you base your opinions on a show that shows the reality of high school. Quite frankly, maybe you should visit a high school from a diverse area. Then maybe you could understand where the new generation, my generation, is coming from. You also mentioned earlier that you've not seen every episode. I think that you have no entitlement to judge a show. And I'd like to ask one question before I finish. Why is being gay wrong? Enlighten me so maybe then I can believe in a religion that is so hateful towards various good people. People that deserve more than what they are given.

This "article" is poorly informed, bigoted and just plain wrong. Stephenson Billings - I can't believe you call yourself an investigative journalist. You should try and report on something objectively - a good journalist would. You should try climbing out from under your caveman neanderthal rock there. Being gay is not a sin, this show wasn't meant for children and if you educate your children properly, watching a show like this would have no bearing on them other than to preach tolerance and acceptance. You are not Christian - at all. Holy crap – I just stumbled across this article and yes, I’m late to the game, but after reading this piece of tripe I feel compelled to post.
