The Issue

Isidingo writers have choosen to portray Christianity in a negative light in order to get ratings up. But why was Christianity chosen? We live in a country so diverse with so many topics that can be covered. This has been found by many of the Christian believers as blasphemy and slanderous. According to the BCCSA Everyone has the right to freedom of expression which includes - (a) Freedom of the press and other media (b) Freedom to receive or impart information or ideas. (c) Freedom of artistic creativity; and (d) Academic freedom and freedom of scientific research. (2) The right in sub-section (1) does not extend to - (a) Propaganda for war; (b) Incitement of imminent violence; or (c) Advocacy of hatred that is based on race, ethnicity, gender or religion, and that constitutes incitement to cause harm". Isidingo is inciting hatred towards Christianity by portraying a religious figure negatively. Pastors are now being viewed in the same light as this character. STOP ISIDINGO FROM USING RELIGION IN THEIR SCRIPT COMPLETELY!! No religion should be subjected to this scrutiny.
