Christian Voice is an organisation I've been keeping a close eye on. They're the fundamentalist group who opposed so strongly the recent BBC screening of
Jerry Springer : The Opera due to its "blasphemous" content - presumably without realising that
a. blasphemy is a victimless crime and
b. no-one was actually forcing them to watch the thing (I've written about this on my other blog
here).
Now they have bullied a cancer charity into refusing a £10000 donation because the "tainted money" was raised at a charity performance of the opera [
news story in the Independent].
When I heard about this I was speechless. I still don't quite know what to say ... I mean, what a bunch of utter, utter bastards. Fundamentalists are not just irritating, closed minded fools - they're
dangerous.
UPDATE 24/02/05: MediaWatchWatch - a good site to check up on what Christian Voice (and other similar groups) are up to.
