Fringe Group Goes After Discovery Jesus Show

The group, based in Tupelo, Miss., is asking its members to email complaints to Discovery about the show, from James Cameron of "Titanic " and "Terminator" fame, which the channel describes as "part archaeological adventure, part Biblical history, part forensic science, part theological controversy."

AFA, however, sees it as some kind of attack on the Bible. "It is time for Christians to send a message to The Discovery Channel and Hollywood that enough is enough!
