I have difficulties with this story

1. Is it a victory for common sense and a repudiation of sickening political correctness?

2. Was the whole thing contrived and it turned out to be fantastic publicity?

3. The change of heart, was it simply financial greed by the network?

4. Was it his personal religious convictions as the driving force?

I used to like the show. The bible rubbish was kept to a minimum, now he's been allowed off the hook for his comments veiling them under a cloak of religion, it pisses me off.

I don't really care what anyones views are on any subject, you're allowed and all that, but when thumpers get involved i'm all out.

Its interesting that they're prejudiced against the gay community but celebrate incest as a cultural tradition.
