Comedy Central's Persecution of the Christian Faith

A group of prominent conservatives spoke out Thursday against an animated series that Viacom's Comedy Central is developing called “JC,” saying it was a “glaring double standard where religious matters are concerned.”

The show will "depict Jesus living in New York City trying to escape his father’s enormous shadow," Comedy Central said in a press release. In the show God is "an apathetic man who would rather play video games than listen to his son talk about his new life. JC is a playful take on religion and society with a sprinkle of dumb.”

To highlight the ways in which Comedy Central has shown a lack of respect toward Christians over the years, the Media Research Center compiled a montage of clips from several shows on the network. One of the snippets shows Buddha snorting lines of cocaine while complaining to Jesus that he watches too much pornography. Another has actress and comedian Sarah Silverman in bed with “God.”



Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center and member of the group calling itself Citizens Against Religious Bigotry (CARB), said: “On the one hand [Comedy Central] has a policy where it won’t do anything that in the slightest way might be offensive to Muslims… But on the other hand for years it has shown a desire to mock and ridicule Jesus Christ and Christians and God the Father while they’re at it.”
