One
of the reasons why I started the series "Hollywood vs. The Bible"
was to expose the idea that satire is harmless. The animated series' The Simpson's,
The Family Guy, American Dad, Lil Bush and South Park lash out with regular
verbal attacks against the Bible. These animated series' have expressed ideas
such as the view that God is Evil and promiscuous, the Bible is a 2000 year
old sleeping pill, God is a fictional character, Jesus is an object of sexuality
or that the Bible stories are mythology. A simple chuckle or grin should be
the least of our reactions to this nonsense. It seems to me that under the guise
of "satire" many writers and performers are expressing their true emotions about
their religious upbringing rather than just simply lending their talents to
various programs. It is either this conclusion or that the writers and performers
are living in willful ignorance of what the Bible truly says. The producers,
writers and voice talent assume that a biblically illiterate society will laugh
along and many do in ignorance.
