NBC’s variety show “Saturday Night Live” is being condemned by religious leaders for mocking the Bible in two outrageous skits that aired earlier this month.
One of the controversial satires depicts Biblical characters as birds, the other pokes fun at the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden!
“The Bible was written by God and it should not be mocked in any way!” rips Baton Rouge-based preacher Moody Adams, founder of the Moody Adams Evangelistic Association.
The livid religious leader notes “there are 33 Christians being executed in North Korea” for trying to establish outlawed “home churches” even as the Peacock Network’s comedy show is “mocking the very teachings Korea’s martyring Christians for!”
In a March 1 sketch, a child complains reading the Bible is boring. In response, parents show him the “Bird Bible,” depicting popular characters from the Gospel as winged wonders.
The dad tells his kids, “The birds help make it seem more real!” Meanwhile, a narrator says the Bird Bible is a remedy for those who “are tired of traditional scripture presentations.”
Then seven days later, guest host Lena Dunham put a wild spin on the Bible’s story of Genesis.![]()
