More than 20,000 Christians have signed a petition calling for the cancellation of Good Omens, the television series adapted from Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s 1990 fantasy novel – unfortunately addressing their petition to Netflix when the series is made by Amazon Prime.
They would so not be ready, for Dogma or Monty Python's Life of Brian then.
seiran381214 Do they know how petitions work Petitions are for government issues only, like how is that even going to do anthing?
If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Don’t deprive other people from watching it if they want. It’s all a matter of taste.
How come they didn’t try to get Lucifer cancelled then?
Morality is subjective. This is a work of fiction. If you don't like it, don't watch it or promote it. God is described as a mother numerous times throughout the Bible. Checkmate?
Christian's are such hypocrites.
Those Thousands of people need to be Thanos snapped.
These guys seem like very intelligent individuals, and not at all like they are un-evolved beings, nor the product of geberations of puritan incest
Guess they hate Lucifer.... which is one of my favorite shows! If Netflix cancels they are wrong to do so.... the show is interesting and you can always just not watch it!
It’s hysterical
Now I actually want to see it!
This group 'The Foundation for a Christian Civilization' is not Christian, it is a cult made of ex-Catholics who think one vision of Mary 100 years ago is to be worshiped only. Again THEY ARE NOT CHRISTIANS. THEY ARE A CULT!!
then there are those of us who do not have a clue what any of you are talking about. One more thing to freak out about, I guess, whatever it may be.
Never heard of it. Yes I am Netflix custo😊
PidgeguARTs read some of the comments they're hilarious
People need to get a life.
Good grief. If you don't like it then don't watch it. Quit telling others what to do.
If this TV farce is a threat to your beliefs, perhaps the problem is not the TV show.
So embarrassed at this blatant superstition/stupidity. If anyone is wondering, this is how we got stuck w/Sir Orange. Guess what? Jesus never commanded you to be stupid. Binge watched it last night...was very good/funny...now, off to service...see...stupidity isn't a requirement
Maybe all these 'bible thumpers', who inhibit innoccent laughs and creativity are just a bunch of creative NAZIS!
You people are pathetic, it is a comedy, any excuse to be a.. and choke creativity!! Shame on you!
Everyone picks on Christians but if Muslims were the ones to do this it would be a different response. That's not right
Omg, you mean 20,000 ppl around the world signed this petition? Well it should obviously make a headline because SOOO many ppl signed it right? Curiously I wonder if a different religion had ran this petition if ppl would be making fun of it? 20k ppl, its not worth the headline.
Cancel it because it sucked... That's reason enough.
I find it quite baffling that a religion that believes their god gave humans “free will” is constantly telling other, “No! You can’t do that!” 🙄😂🤣😂🤣
I wonder if they’ve petitioned Amazon to cancel the 5th season if Lucifer? 🤔
Not surprising they got the network wrong. They do believe in an imaginary friend, after all! Consider the source. 🙄🤣😂
Why are people so upset about a tv show what about more important issues like kids who have no food or water
Can you go away? You give God's sane faithful servants a bad name. Just like people who pretend to love Jesus and then elect the Anti-Christ. Nope, too much credit. He's too stupid to be the Anti-Christ. But he is Anti-Christ-like.
I love how all the pious Christians are walking around their vague issues of why they found the show offensive without betraying the REAL REASON : Adam and Eve were depicted as BLACK. That was the ONLY thing that set their Bibles on fire. GoodOmens Racism
One of the bulletpoint in the petition: 'God is voiced by a woman'. Excuse me
neilhimself Petition therm all. God will know his own. (historiographic credit:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
👋👋
Why
NetflixUK ok we’ll let you off the hook this time but only if promise to pick the show up if Amazon cancels it after one season.
I honestly can’t wait to watch it
Bless their hearts
ThePodReport oh jesus i thought this was going to be a the onion article
I've lost count of the number of times these idiots have canceled their Netflix subscriptions, maybe that's why they are confused 🤣🤣🤣
neilhimself
BoardGameBrawl I don’t have anything against it’s relegious themes I just hated the way they chose to tell the story. The desperate housewives voice is unbearable. It should have been made as a feature film by TerryGilliam. I couldn’t even finish the first episode.
neilhimself This Christian loved the book and the show
Wolveframe
Can you just NOT watch it?
Even more reason to indulge in this deliciously witty fantasy. Every bit as real as the Bible characters it’s based on.
neilhimself this is as good as when ThatKevinSmith showed up with a placard to join the Christian group protesting Dogma. I think the sign he made said 'dogma is dogshit. The group thought that was a bit much and made him erase the shit part.
They're going to hate the sequel Even Gooder Omens.
So they pay as much attention to Amazon Prime and Netflix as they do their holy book, which is to say none at all and only doing as they're told by their leaders.
mortal fools
neilhimself neilhimself ok so did people ever attack sandman ? And if so did they attack or blame marvel ?
neilhimself I think s8n wouldn’t mind!?
neilhimself I am sure Netflix would love to cancel it. A nice peak behind the curtain of people that get outraged about something with all the information.
Thousands don’t have to watch it if they feel that strongly about it?
neilhimself I'll just go back to my extensive heavy metal collection instead.
neilhimself 😂
neilhimself Almost as if their beliefs got in the way of logical thinking. Irony is beautiful. 👍🏼
neilhimself
Christians: 'WAAAAAAH WE FEEL SO PERSECUTED MUH FREEZE PEACH' Also Christians: 'WE DON'T LIKE THIS TV SHOW, BAN IT!!!!'
neilhimself This is some Terry mischief from beyond, isn’t it?
neilhimself
I'm going to have to start watching this show now. GoodOmens
neilhimself Absolute bollocks - maybe even more people will want to watch now who have never read the original.
They should cancel it because it is really weak. I don’t mind who does it, but maybe we could all just agree not to make any more tv shows or films using Terry Pratchetts work as source?
When will these fecking people get a fecking life leave Good Omens alone Start the War
neilhimself HAhaha. For Christs sake, you gotta have a little more sense than that kids. You’re bringing down the curve for the whole country. 😂
'Christians': There's not enough representation of us in the media we are being erased Good Omens: *Portrays the Bible, religious themes, using religious context and lore* 'Christians': I don't like this make it go away
neilhimself I remember when both members of OneMillionMums claimed victory in getting Lucifer taken off the air. It was about 2 weeks before netflix picked it up. Religious nutters are always good for a chuckle.
Lol
The best option here seems to be to turn it off or switch channels. Harkens to book burning in my mind. As for the kids, set up parental controls.
This really reminds me of that Girl Defined blog where they said 'Disney does not fear God'
Netflix response: 'As of today, GOOD OMENS is not in our lineup for programming.' Everyone: Shh. Don't tell them.
It worked! GoodOmensPrime is nowhere to be found on Netflix! The people have spoken! I wonder if Agnes prophesied this...
Maybe they should try watching LoveIsland instead, not sure what channel it's on tho. Best to petion them all, just in case
Satanism is pretty cool.
Wait till they find out about Lucifer
Get over it
neilhimself
neilhimself This has to be Crowley's handiwork.
neilhimself Theres always a type of Christian that can who make even Angels uncomfortably embarrassed
For the love! It is entertainment. What they should all petition to be cancelled is the real life tragedy happening at the hands of Trump
Dear , These Americans are clearly smoking fatty spliffers! I hope you will make it known in any future articles that we in the Tadfield Neighbourhood Watch do not have any truck with Satanism! Except for the nuns up at the Manor. Yours, R.P. Tyler GoodOmens
WHAT THE HELL! ITS A GREAT SERIES
neilhimself Sweet Jesus, please read at least the first paragraph.
neilhimself This all reminds me of when Kevin Smith released Dogma, the same type of people protested and he would go and join in with them
Christards will be christards 🙄 Also: there's no better publicity than a noteworthy boycott 🤣
neilhimself Could start a trend... Think I'll start a petition to force Fox to not remake the last season of GoT
neilhimself 🤣🤣🤣🤣
neilhimself Just wait until they hear about HBO and 'His Dark Materials'
neilhimself
Right then, I shall cancel HBO for this then!.
neilhimself Netflix are missing a trick not releasing a statement saying they're delighted to anounce they are cancelling it and advertising their own stuff.
neilhimself Crowlly...
neilhimself I’m amazed how many people here haven’t noticed that they petitioned NETFLIX while the show is on AMAZON 😂
neilhimself It’s probably really only four people, writing again and again. Surely even religious nut jobs have better things to do.
neilhimself Oh FFS...🙄
I really liked their friendship. It was holy. :P
neilhimself
neilhimself
Two thoughts: 1) If Netflix were smart, they would respond with 'We have reviewed your request and are happy to inform you that this series will not appear on our platform. Now, let's talk out our Premium Subscription Services for Jesus.' 2)...
There's a really simple solution if you don't like the show...
neilhimself Gotta love a halfwit 😂
neilhimself *snort*
neilhimself Can we start a petition to get it ON Netflix though?
I will pay good money to keep this and The Guardian going (and yes, I did want to say Gruaniad- and will still pay).
neilhimself Do it Netflix. I dare you.
neilhimself I was furious with Amazon for cancelling Daredevil saveDaredevil 😂😂😂
neilhimself That means it’s working, GREAT JOB!
neilhimself Thus making clear none of them have actually watched it.
neilhimself
neilhimself How do you 'cancel' a completed series? And by the way, grow up.
Loved every second of it neilhimself. It would be great to see Neverwhere get this kind of treatment on Netflix, amazon, etc.
neilhimself In the words of Gir, 'I'm gonna watch it again!!' 😁
neilhimself Probably not Christians but Evangelicals 🙃
neilhimself
neilhimself Lmao thousands don’t have taste
What? Why?
Why can't the Christians just forgive them? realChristianity
It's a parody of Paradise Lost nothing wrong with that. Its about time religion was lightened up
Clearly they have an informed position from actually watching any of it.
I thought it was really good, not sure what all the fuss is about 🤔🤔🤔
rodimusprime This is fvcking ridiculous. If you don't like the show, don't watch it.
Somebody needs to tells these silly twats that the book was written almost 30 years ago.
The reviews of this have been a bit lukewarm so I wasn’t overly bothered about watching it. Top of my ‘to watch’ list now. Thanks fundamentalist Christians!
It's a tv show for goodness sake... Not the gospel truth preached. Could understand if it was those awful evangelical fake leaders...now they need to be stopped as they preach lies to get the gullible to give money for their billionaire lifestyle 😼
That's hilarious love that show pro...lapsed catholic that I am !
Work of fiction condemned by people who worship work of fiction
really? Is that serious? rather open your mind than being so narrow-minded! what's next? ,
Good Omens is a great show, but this is just too funny lOlOl
Oh the drama. Sitting in the garden remembering the good old years before the net.
AllieK801 LOL
Do you think we can cancel Christianity instead?
I'm still writing complaints to the BBC about the Game of Thrones final season they screwed up
Thus proving that none of them have watched it.
How to make a petition even more stupid and pointless
Definitely watching it now
Iiaratsoni no comment from netflix?
GO posits 7 day creation, 10K years of history, war in heaven, human banishment from Paradise, & the power of free will. It's surprisingly in line w/ many fundamentalist beliefs. But God is female. & Adam & Eve are black. Amazing how that gets some people's knickers in a twist.
Not only they completely miss the company name But can't grasp the concept that streaming services get their money from subscriptions And couldn't care less about online petitions if they tried
That makes me want to watch it😂
Must have watched it then
Does this mean all the god crap can be banned too?
I enjoyed this series.
Religious people with nothing to do moaning again don't they have better things to do like watch a Netflix show on amazon prime 😂
That's why it's so important that the monopoly is fought, to prevent a few from handling us.
😂😂
Satanism is as normal as believing in God, just Christians being hypocrites
🤣
It won't work, I petitioned Showtime to cancel 'Game of Thrones' for years....they never did.
I blame the Mayflower!
Lol
Surprised that these fanatical Christians even have access to things as diabolical as Television AND the Internet...
American and deeply religious. The perfect combo for a group of people who want to be completely removed from reality.
Short people. Randy Newman was right.
But the series Lucifer was okay ...even begged HBO for more seasons ?
Why do Christians think they have the right to govern what other people do or view,if they don’t like something don’t watch it otherwise piss off and pray for the people who aren’t religious busybodies
Has been quiet on the petition front....
Why? It’s a hoot.
Great PR for a tv series. Well done.
Y
Sigh. I’m a Christian. This is entertainment, not documentary. We’ve got bigger fish to fry. Or rather, share.
They should learn to forgive and turn the other cheek.
Satanism is pretty tame compared to Islam
Be nice if we could let people enjoy, you know, TV shows.
this makes me happy. wrong company! Have they seen Fleabag?
Ooh, and Christians are not evil? The catalogue of of wrongs and abuses by so called Christians throughout history makes for very disturbing reading. Wasn't Beelzebub a god of the Phillistines?
Excellent - in a heartbeat this shines a light on both their hilarious idiocy and, seriously, the problems of religious fundamentalism of any sort - no tolerance, no room for other views, or a sense of humour.
I’m a Christian who has read Good Omens and thought it was fantastic!! I do not see it as being Satanic at all.
Why do these dorks always insist on making it so fucking easy to make fun of them?
That's funny
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s not even on Netflix. That’s what makes this so pathetic! It’s an epic show!
It's one of the greatest series ever. Tell those brain dead zombies to stand down.
Pathetic people
The elites make satanism appear 'normal' all the time.
Gabriel is a proper bastard in this.
Don’t watch but might have to give it a peek. 20,000 Christians petition a TV show in a country where we celebrate freedom of speech. They are worried about a TV show when we have kids in cages. No wonder church attendance is cratering. They have forgotten what is in the Bible.
Bwhahahahaha!!!
From democracy to theocracy in one orange coloured Presidency!
Lol A least it’s a petition imagine had it been other faiths then people would be on the streets and setting fire to things.
Wait til they are this (connected video)
Must be worth a watch, then...
Christians, always hearing about idiocy and going wait a minute, hold my beer
It is a comedy. A satire. A play on The Omen. Let them petition. There should be something on every channel that offends each group of people. Bending over backwards to accommodate everyone just results in bland nonsense
Low IQ is obviously a pre-requisite for joining the Religious Right
😂 please don’t Netflix, let them clutch their rosaries while the rest of us enjoy the show.
ALMOST Pratchettesque
Oh great, now ima have to watch it.. Streisand Effect and whatnot
What a load of rubbish! It's a really good series
Good Omens ended up being trash. Looked forward to it for years. It was meant to poke fun at a few things. I'm glad the Christians showed up with a petition. If they hadn't, it would further validate my opinion of it.
Then don’t watch it. I’m not interested in it so I am not watching it.
How devilish
Some Christians have nothing better to do than fight against songs and shows. Meanwhile, they’re kids are drug addicted, and spouses have affairs. Spend less time at Bible study and more time with your family.
I don’t like the way a fictional show depicts aspects of a fictional book I like 😂
Good Grief. Our current US 'president' is the one making Satanism seem normal. Tell these so-called 'Christians' to go home.
🤣
At least it's only a petition. Some groups would be cutting off heads.
“More than 20,000 Christians have signed a petition calling for the cancellation of Good Omens – unfortunately addressing their petition to Netflix when the series is made by Amazon Prime.” 😂 TheDevilIsInTheDetails
Why..........?
It's light entertainment ..... getalife
Good Show!
This is why education is really important.
Silver lining: It keeps them from obsessing over something important.
🛎ends
Morons. Forgodsake just don't watch it. Neil Gaiman rules!
“another step to make satanism appear normal, light and acceptable” you know what's not normal, light, and acceptable? These 'christians'.
When sheer stupidity meets irony to create a self-own of 'biblical' proportions... It's a thing of beauty. 😎
It is required we all live under Christian Sharia law.
Here’s an interesting quote from this show: “Animals don’t kill each other with clever machines, angel. Only humans do that.” Guess who said this.
Nooooo ! it's cool 🤦🏻♀️
sarahpreyes93
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love this show, btw
Tossers
Time to turn the other cheek and roll out that old timey forgiveness.
Funny, I don't watch it because it's religious BS. I thought it was non religious people who'd complained, not the braindead who thinks this stuff is real.
It's fiction. Be concerned about people in concentration camps, 'Christians'.
thick shites ;-)
I had less than zero interest in this show until I read this headline. Satanism for the people!
Ha ha ha ha ha. Sad religious nutters.
