While I can understand that Christians would be up in arms over this I really don't see the problem with saying that the Bible is a bunch of stories just made up by humans...that is what it indeed is.  Contrary to what some Christian factions would like the world to believe Charistianity is a farily "young" religion much older are the Muslim/Hebrew/Pagan religions.  In fact Christ himself was Hebrew.  I am not going to sign a petition based upon the fact that someone has expressed their opoinion about the Bible.  PBS is an educational tool, and again contrarly to what some Christian factions would like The U.S. was founded upon freedom Of/from Religion not just the Christian based religions...in fact a great number of those who built this country were not Christians.  The Slaves brought over from Africa had a Pagan based religion before being forced to convert to Christianity.  The Natives who were here when the Chritisan Eurpoean invaders arrived had a Pagan based religion.  It was the Chinese Buddhists who built much of this country's Railroads.  As far as I am concerned, the Bible is a book based upon human history and I don't believe everything between it's pages.  Much of the original Hebrew/Greek language the Bible was written in has been lost to the ages and the bible we have now is not a direct translation.  So nope not gonna sign the petition...not gonna "boycott" PBS for doing what it is they do...educate people...if you don't want to partake you don't have to.
