BREAKING:@netflix released a show depicting Jesus as GAY?!
Let’s make this CLEAR!
Jesus isn’t some “woke” culture experiment for you to convince young people that biblical teachings are “debatable”?!
Jesus is the SON OF GOD and died for our sins!
Show some RESPECT!

‘Jesus, who’s hitting the big 3-0, brings a surprise guest to meet the family. A Christmas special so wrong, it must be from comedians Porta dos Fundos,’ reads the description on Netflix. Christians have come out so hard to criticize the production describing it as extremely offensive and an insult to the values of Christian faith. A petition was immediately started on Change.org to call on the company to pull down the blasphemous film billed under ‘Dark Comedies’ and rated PG for under 18 on the Netflix app. About 1.4 million people have so far signed the petition. The petitioners want the production team to be charged for crimes of villainous faith.
Dear @netflix
You have a right to your beliefs, but so do I. I also have the right to no longer fund you making fun of my beliefs. Jesus was not gay or a drunk. This is disrespectful. I pray you never do the same to other religions. But Jesus forgives you & He still loves you. pic.twitter.com/FLwBy69Rmj

Eduardo Bolsonaro, the eldest son of Brazil’s president and a member of Congress tweeted: “We support freedom of expression, but is it worth attacking the belief of 86 percent of the population.” Brazilian Bishops who’ve taken their anger to Facebook have reiterated on their intentions to cancel their Netflix subscription for good.
The movie was produced by Porta dos Fundos, a comedy group of five people from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who initially were shooting parodies films for their YouTube channel before producing for Netflix.
