It's not on the air yet. It's not shot yet. There's no pilot yet. Hell, there might not even be a script yet.

But Comedy Central developing an animated project about Jesus Christ has the biggest names in the TV watchdog business forming a Super Best Friends protest super-group to preemptively smite the show.

Brent Bozell (president, Media Research Center), Tony Perkins (president, Family Research Council), Michael Medved (talk radio host), Bill Donohue (president, Catholic League), Rabbi Daniel Lapin (American Alliance of Jews and Christians) and, of course, Tim Winter (president, Parents Television Council) are joining forces to form the Coalition Against Religious Bigotry.

From The Cincinnati Enquirer:

When the Seventh Presbyterian Church closed last fall after 160 years, the congregation created a $2 million "legacy fund" to carry on the church's support of soup kitchens, shelters and other programs for the needy.

The goal was to continue the good works of one of Cincinnati's most historic churches long after its doors closed and its members scattered to new places of worship.

But instead of paying tribute to how the church lived, the legacy fund is a reminder of how it died.

The money has become part of a bitter feud between Seventh Presbyterian's congregants and the regional church officials they say forced them to close.

From AP (via Yahoo news):

The Southern Baptist minister who leads Liberty University's seminary made a career as a go-to authority on Islam for the evangelical world, selling thousands of books and touring the country as a former Muslim who discovered Jesus Christ.

Now Ergun Caner is being investigated by the Lynchburg, Va., university — founded by the Rev. Jerry Falwell — over allegations that he fabricated or embellished his past.

An unlikely coalition of Muslim and Christian bloggers, pastors and apologists has led the charge with video and audio clips they claim show Caner making contradictory statements.

Caner has since changed the biographical information on his website and asked friendly organizations to remove damning clips from their websites, but the questions are not going away.
