Just curious if anyone else out there has observed the "strange coincidence" of NBC's Law and Order having two episodes that seemed to me to rather "opportunistic" in "capitalizing" on a recent Christian/Evangelical scandal?
Last week's episode of L&O: SVU and then last night's episode of L&O: Criminal Intent both featured a "prominent leader of an evangelical empire" who "preached strongly for family values and against homosexuality" and was involved in a murder (that's the main difference), both in an effort in some way to cover up a homosexual relationship with a male prostitute.
I'm obviously a fan of the Law & Order series (all of them) and generally a fan of NBC programming (especially "ER" though it has dramatically faded in recent years), but these two episodes just seemed so "opportunistic" that I just wondered if anyone knows of an anti-Christian, anti-evangelical bent in NBC leadership - or if it just shrewd programming?
And of course, recent evangelical "scandals" have given the media plenty of opportunity to condemn Christians without having any axe to grind. By God's grace, any Christian leader, myself included, will refrain from looking for some sinister anti-Christian "plot" behind any television story/program and simply ask God to keep us from the same failures... and live beyond the criticisms and false presentations to live the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.
