Interesting article on God and the Simpsons. http://www.nandotimes.com/no_frames/opinions/story/0,4498,500279950-500439282-502817052-0,00.html ------------------ 'Deeds, not words, shall speak me.'
From the article: As a result, 'The Simpsons' almost always ends up affirming some element of a generic Judeo-Christian American creed - honesty, family, community, selflessness and love. Seems to me that these are also Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Mormon and Wiccan values among others. But, that is just me. ------------------ Time for a new cause.
Groening describes himself as an agnostic. It is highly doubtful that he is promoting any particular religious faith.
The great thing about the Simpsons is that they spare no feelings. Nothing is sacred and they will make jokes about anybody's faith with no fear. I wish people would stop trying to read pointless crap into a comedy show... ------------------ She hates testicles, thus limiting the men she can admire to Democratic candidates for president. -- John Greenway, "The American Tradition", on feminist Elizabeth Gould Davis

Did you catch last week's? Rev. Lovejoy was promoting his cookbook at a local book festival with Stigmuffins (holes through the middle) and Mary Magdelene's Chocolate Orgasms. Hilarious!! ------------------ "He was under more balls than a midget hooker."-Bobby Hill visit www.swirve.com
