Evangelist Produces 'The Real Housewives of the Bible' As Wholesome Alternative

Sounds like something Alexis and maybe even DeShawn Snow might want to look into:

"Real Housewives" has reached biblical proportions.


Web-based evangelist Ty Adams has created "Real Housewives of the Bible," a two-part DVD series due later this month. The new series follows six women in their pursuit of a happy marriage. Each character in the show represents different women from the Bible, including Sarah, Delilah and Jezebel. The creator believes it's a more wholesome alternative to Bravo "Real Housewives" reality series, according to CNN's Belief Blog.


"I was frustrated with what I was seeing," Adams told CNN. "A lot of society is looking towards programming to educate them on relationships and these shows haven't effectively done that."


She later told CNN that the goal of her series is to help women connect real-life issues with Christian teaching and to teach women how to maintain marriage despite hardship. She believes reality shows, like the cable "Real Housewives" series, have "ruined and tainted our ability to secure good relationships and to make women into good wives."


The DVDs sell for $29.99. A workbook is sold separately or can be ordered with the DVD.


Julie Ryan Evans, a writer for The Stir, slammed the Bible-based series.


"While her way seems about as logical as using a Casey Anthony parody to teach women how to be good parents, she seems to think it will work," Evans wrote.


Evans called the new series "atrocious" and claimed the actual "Real Housewives" shows "might actually be a step above this backward, misogynistic thinking."

I haven't seen the DVD, but this idea doesn't sound "misogynistic" at all to me. In fact, the idea that women who choose to be housewives or let their men be the breadwinners/leaders of the family, somehow demeans women is just dumb to me. Real housewives (and there are millions of them) don't get enough credit in this country and I'm glad that Bravo is open-minded enough to allow the Alexis Bellino's the world show off their side of the tree. Then too, if there's room for a whore like Danielle Staub on 'Housewives', there should be room for Christian women too--it's only right and it's only fair.
