Victoria Jackson...well isn't that special.

Today, Victoria Jackson

has come under fire for her comments regarding last week's Glee. The former SNL actress wrote in a blog post:

“Did you see “Glee” this week? Sickening! And, besides shoving the gay thing down our throats, they made a mockery of Christians – again! I wonder what their agenda is? Hey, producers of “Glee” – what’s your agenda? One-way tolerance?”

The rest of the blog post (found here) is so anti-semetic and hateful that it is hard for me to read. Because this is a TV blog, I am going to stick more to what she said on TV and her comments on Glee, but if you feel so inclined - have a look.

She ALSO went on CNN for an interview, during which she held up a bible, called "homophobic" a "cute little buzz word of the liberal agenda," shielded her eyes when they showed the kiss from Glee, and said: "Now listen...I just wanna know why the liberals are pro-Muslim and pro-gay. Muslims kill gays -that's what's confusing to me. And the only thing I can come up with is the Muslims hate God and the gays hate his Word." (you can check out the interview here: CNN interview)

I have so many issues with this actress's comments and reasons behind them. But I will only step on my soapbox for a few moments.

I am so sick and tired of celebrities having a microphone to speak into and saying whatever they want. This is on both sides of the issue. I'm tired of those that rant about the evils of conservatives and I am equally tired of those that use theirs for the doctrine of exclusivity that some people seem to think Christianity is. Just because you were on SNL 100 years ago, does not mean that the world needs to hear your views on life. Just the same as I could really not care less what Kathy Griffin has to say about Sarah Palin and think that Griffin has no place in the political debate herself.

It seems to me that people have a need to demonize that with which they are not familiar. Be that religion, homosexuality, other cultures, etc. As a Christian myself, I take strong issue with the fact that she is the image and face people will relate with Christianity and DO relate with Christianity. I think of Christianity as an inclusive, loving, religion. One of not casting the first stone. And have so many friends and acquaintances who feel the same way. And yet Victoria Jackson is who everyone sees because she was on CNN. I'm sorry, Miss Jackson (oo oo oo oo I am for real), but don't you realize that you're doing more harm to Christians than the producers of Glee ever could? Caricatures on tv shows exist because they expand on flaws that real people already show. Victoria Jackson is like a living walking caricature, and she's not even on a TV show.

It is totally irresponsible in an age where young gay kids are killing themselves because of fear of persecution to come out and say that what they feel is wrong and "sickening."

We have to be there and protective of the youngest members of our society. "The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children." (Dietrich Bohnhoffer - German theologian). Time to grow up and stop seeing the world through exclusionary eyes.

When you only believe what you want to believe and refuse to accept reality...you turn into Charlie Sheen.
