    Yeah, what the Baptist said.

    I 'tuned in' to see what all the fuss was about. Atkinson is right: the show is a piece of crap, and it has nothing to do with its unorthodox views of a bunch of Christians. It's a muddle of people with about 15 or 16 too many issues to be dealt with reasonably in a single dramatic vehicle. In fact, it's a lot like a VW full of clowns -- just when you think there can't possibly be another clown in the car, PLOP, there comes another one.

    BTW - I'm an atheist, who was raised Southern Baptist. Keep this guy, Atkinson on the payroll. He offers an interesting perspective that we are often lacking, here, on Salon.
