Every single sponsor that OMM contacted decided not to sponsor this past week&#8217;s episode of &#8220;The Soul Man.&#8221; M &amp; M&#8217;s (Mars, Inc.), Red Lobster, Dairy Queen, Big Lots, Inc., and Geico have pulled their ads from the Christian-bashing NBC program. Their ads were not present in the most recent episode(s).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of TV Land&#8217;s newest sitcoms, &#8220;The Soul Man,&#8221; blasphemes the name of Jesus Christ and mocks pastors. The mockery is similar to &#8220;Good Christian Belles,&#8221; also known as &#8220;GCB.&#8221; The program focuses on one family but is far from family-friendly programming. The show is described as: &#8220;R&amp;B superstar-turned-minister Reverend Boyce &#8216;The Voice&#8217; Ballentine (Cedric The Entertainer) was living the high life in Las Vegas at the top of the music charts when he got &#8216;the calling&#8217; and decided to relocate to St. Louis with his family to become a preacher in his father&#8217;s church. However, his wife and daughter are not exactly eager to give up the fabulous superstar life for their new humble one.&#8221; The show airs on Wednesdays at 10\/9c.<\/p>\n<p>Networks like TV Land (owned by Viacom) continue to mock Christianity. This program includes vulgarity and portrays Christians in a negative light. Each episode is full of sexual innuendos; too many to list here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TAKE ACTION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Please send an email letter strongly encouraging sponsors to drop all plans of financially supporting the anti-Christian TV Land program &#8220;The Soul Man.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The sponsors of this week&#8217;s episode of &#8220;The Soul Man&#8221; include: IKEA, Allstate, PetMeds, Chobani, and Procter &amp; Gamble (Olay, Dawn, and Aussie).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.onemillionmoms.com\/issues\/%27the-soul-man%27-sponsors-need-to-hear-from-you\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Send Your Email Now!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<table width=\"560\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Sincerely,Monica Cole, Director<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/OneMillionMoms.com\" target=\"_blank\">OneMillionMoms.com<\/a>P.S.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House.
