    I won't speak for Andrew Jackson, but there is a cavern sized space in most people I know, between feeling uneasy or uncomfortable about the content of a show ( assuming that it does offend) , and deciding to sign a petition that seeks to coerce a network to drop it. I have yet to get involved in any effort to impact any network or theater or book store regarding its content or promotion and I have lived a long time and been offended a lot. I did once get involved in a dispute on where an adult book store was located/zoned, but never what it bought or sold.

    If you think that life on earth is the be all end all..

    Ever read the old testament? The jews were persecuted many times which God allowed.

    Netflix will certainly fold faster than their gay Jesus movie despite having 2 million + signatures.

    Nothing was like the industrial extermination of the Jew by the millions.
    There was no define intervention.
    That is as best as you can get as in proving a negative.
    You go prove otherwise and source that pro genocide God is real.

    Hmm. In old testament times how many hebrews do you suppose there were?

    No divine intervention? Just my opinion but you'd better re read some ww2 history..

    Even if i did you wouldn't believe so whats the point. Jesus proved himself hundreds of times and the people didn't believe, you aren't going to nelieve based on anything i say

    Would it be a fair statement that a Muslim might have the same problem with you. He could talk and talk and 'prove' for an hour or two - or twenty, but you would not change your views about Mohammed or Islam no matter what he did.

    Its got to be one of the more universal frustrations of people of faith trying to dispel myths and promote their religious vision.

    An atheist, a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim will hit a lot of cement walls like the one you describe, before they ever find one with a door cracked open for any light to seep through. .

    I can see why you'd say that, now imagine it with a guy of universal appeal and not an ounce of benevolence.

    Pretty soon Talib will be claiming that The Flintsones were anti Muslim. Just don't watch it if you don't want to for Allahs sake.

    Yep, and Barack Obama. Suspicious that those particular antisemitic people work for Netflix and suddenly Netflix is -- supposedly -- producing antisemitic programming all of a sudden. Obviously it's a . . . coincidence.

    now that you mension it, Obama had nearly universal appeal outside the US, they loved the guy here in europe, middle east and asia back then (mostly because he was a whimp etc though),
    good to know trump definatly is not the anti christ then though ^^

    I really don’t care if Muslims are offended. Does anyone else care?

    There is no constitutional right not to be offended.
