Oh goody.

COULD THE END OF DAYS BE NEAR? -- From executive producer Gavin Polone ("Panic Room") and writer/creator David Seltzer ("The Omen") comes "Revelations," a six-hour event series starring Bill Pullman ("Independence Day") as Harvard professor Dr. Richard Massey, an astrophysicist who is certain that all worldly events can be explained by Science. In the series premiere, Dr. Massey is dealing with the tragic murder of his 12-year-old daughter by a maniacal murderer, Isaiah Haden (Michael Massee, "24"), who was captured and imprisoned. After a strange course of events, Massey is challenged by a nun, Sister Josepha Montafiore (Natascha McElhone, "Solaris"), who leads him on a journey through the unfamiliar world of faith. Drawn together by personal tragedy, these unlikely partners -- one who worships God and one who worships Science -- are propelled into a deepening mystery, finding evidence that the world, as predicted by The Book of Revelation, has reached The End of Days. Also starring, Chelsey and Brittney Coyle, Tobin Bell and John Rhys-Davies. TV-14

Because clearly there is not enough religious programming on.

And it's nice to see NBC found an excellent way to cash in on the eschatology craze sweeping through the country.

1. "One who worships science"!?!?

Sorry, but of all the atheists I know, there is NOT ONE who "worships" anything, not even science.

What a complete piece of tripe.

2. Hey, what about my shrine to geology in my living room?

;)

[trotsky]

9. Well, OK, I'll give you that.

I bet my son would sign up for that religion - he brought a rock home from the playground yesterday because he just knew there was either "gold or dinosaur fossils" in it. :)

5. Hey, I worship at the shrine of Cable Modem every day...

And occasionally pray to the parking and car god.

It doesn't work, but it's entertaining and gives me something to do while I'm worried that something's not going right with my car....

3. In a way,

I feel comforted to see the delusion spreading at such a speed and with such a magnitude. I might live the rebellion against the new order after all... Make shame even more shameful by offering it to the media.

4. Maybe it will be even funnier than...

"Noah's Ark" with Jon Voight and Mary Steenburgen.

If I'd had a pretzel, I would have choked on it watching that POS. Jesus H. Keerist in a sidecar, what a hoot! And contrary to the accounts I had drilled into my head in Southern Baptist Sunday School, somebody else DID survive the great flood! James Coburn, on a raft, no less!

They also "rearranged" the timeline so they could throw in the Sodom and Gomorrah stuff with the Noah's Ark myth. As a Grumpy Atheist on another board pointed out, this was the Biblio-chronological equivalent of having Jesus ride into Jerusalem on a dinosaur.

But the funniest scene was in the Ark, when one of the "actresses" picked up a cute little koala bear and it shit on her.

That koala bear was a better film critic than Roger Ebert.

6. Aw shit, are you kidding me? If I didn't have to work all night, I'd be

drinking my self into a stupor in a vain attempt to rid myself of this.

Must be some more of those librul elitists done thunked this up.

7. I saw the ad for this

on Monday, and literally felt sick to my stomach.

And I'm a Christian.

I don't what else to say. Just know that at least ONE of us is as disgusted with this kind of stuff creeping into network tv under the innocent cover of a made-for-tv movie. Hooey is what it is at best. I don't even want to think about what this represents at worst. Egads.

8. Yeah, I saw the previews.

How disgusting. I wish I could just laugh about it, but it's really pathetic how people cling to these "end of the world" scenarios. They're so giddy that the world might end and in their enthusiasm, might just end the world themselves. And in the meantime, we have to watch crap on TV.
