It is the Holiday season and its time for merriment and spreading the good news and banking on the wholehearted goodness and cheer that comes with the season but this year, Netflix seems to be doing the most by going against this tradition with their Christmas Special feature The first Temptation of Christ.
Now Netflix faces alot of backlash from the christian community. The feature film shows Jesus as a ridiculous Gay guy (not even a good one ), Weed-Smoking Mary and mocking Jesus and his disciples ways. The same group of Brazilian producers where handed the 2019 International Emmy Award for their movie ‘The Last Hangover’ also portraying Jesus as a drunk and in a bad name or context .
Now over 1 million people have signed the petition to bring down the movie on Netflix and the signature is increasing daily and yes Christians like myself have right to be upset. We are here all about the good nativity and spreading love with our story of Jesus but some group of people think it ok to mock it or mislead others on the story. Now the goal of the petition is to have at least 3 million people sign the petition and hold the production group "Porta dos Fundos to" responsible for the crime of Villainous faith.

Some viewers have express their disgust at the production and people such as the Brazilian Congress man and Pastor Marco Feliciano expressed his anger on Twitter against the comedy special saying : "Christians and Non-Christians have asked me to take action against the irresponsible members of Porto Des Fundo. Its time we tool a collective action - churches and all good people - to put an end to this". Well said from my opinion. However, the Porta des Funto group seems to think that its all fun and games as they poked fun at the petition claiming that they won an award for the one of last year ---- silly!
Whether we like it or not religion exists, pick yours and leave others alone. Making mockery of other religions to have your say, is never the right way. Seems to me that many think it’s not okay to offend any other person or religion except CHRISTIANS, and this has got to stop! 🛑
We are been called to cancel Netflix subscriptions and make a protest and yes , I think that , this is a good call. Netflix is however yet to respond. The whole scenarios just reminds me of this text below from the bible
