Many of you I'm sure have heard about the upcoming episode of "Big Love" on HBO where sacred temple ordinances are to be displayed. I am outraged. I used this link to write a letter to HBO. Here is the text. I encourage all members of the church, and any church who believe that the things of God are sacred and not to be displayed to the world to also write.
Gentlemen,
The Airing of a sacred religious ordinance in a fictional show is disrespectful to MILLIONS of Americans. I understand the first amendment gives you the ability to do this, however you also have the right to remain silent. Many of us think you are simply unwilling to do something honorable. from your own admission, you had someone on set to vet the process and to determine its validity. Did it enter into your thinking that such a person had committed and promised to hold such things as sacred and to not divulge them. Thus by showing them to you they had demonstrated themselves a liar. I have not seen your episode. I do not plan to. taking what is sacred and portraying it with out the correct spirit (a Spirit which can only truly be felt in the holiest of places) is blasphemy. I do not consider myself a religious zealot, however I must speak up when the rights of those who are innocent are about to be trampled by those with the end game of earning a buck. I implore you to pull the episode. undergo a rewrite and move on with your series. Anything less is despicable.
Regards,
JR McKee
