There was another thread on South Park yesterday, and I was shocked at how many posters here like them, in spite of their vulgarity verging on obscenity, and sometimes even blasphemy. And while they may take pot shots at liberal causes, they also heap a great deal of scorn on institutions that should be dear to the hearts of most conservatives, such as organized religion. So with that in mind, I did some googling and came up with this story. Just thought I would post it to show that these guys are not people we conservatives should be looking up to.

"heap a great deal of scorn on institutions that should be dear to the hearts of most conservatives, such as organized religion."

Some of that scorn is well deserved.

I don't know about you but organized religions such as Scientology need to be scorned. I have worked with these people in the past and they are a dangerous cult.

You google a story that you accept without question due to your intent, although you are admittedly ignorant on the show in general. You post a story that has already been posted multiple times showing your lack of respect to the original posters. Then you make the claim that organized religion should be dear to the hearts of Conservatives.

1. It wasn't plagiarism as the show was conceived before the screenplay was written and the show itself was produced and released before the movie was made.
2. The search feature on the forum prevents multiple posting of of articles.
3. Ones membership in an Organized religion does not make one Conservative.

"they also heap a great deal of scorn on institutions that should be dear to the hearts of most conservatives, such as organized religion."

I read the thread from yesterday and was tempted to chime in but frankly it got so vitriolic I chickened out but I just can't sit on my hands any longer so allow me to offer a thought.

It's a cartoon. It's easily turned off.

On the other hand, some pretty ugly real life stuff has been engaged in by those who used organized religion as a cover. In fact some of those not involved covered up for the miscreants.

In the thread yesterday it was on the subject of SP and the virgin Mary and I wanted to point out that if the same reaction had been present by a larger number of Catholics over pedophile priests the world just might be a better place. That was/is no cartoon. It was the real world, it happened to real people, it was/is as vile as anything I can think of far surpassing anything that SP, which I can easily switch off, can ever achieve.

That is not a swipe intended solely for the Roman Church. If you think so I can just as easily substitute the church of my childhood, ECUSA. All institutions composed of failed humans are capable of great evil.

So it would seem to me that ire over a make believe cartoon is pretty small potatoes. I'd think it would be much more effective to spend that ire reestablishing the credibility of those organizations that should be dear to the hearts of most conservatives, especially in those in which we gave our trust and they repaid our trust by abusing it.

Well count me as another fan....and very much a conservative. Who says who gets to decide what is funny? If you don't like it and it offends you, by all means, turn it off. But please spare me the intellectual hautiness of "I am so much more intellegent and sophisticated and thus know what is/isn't funny."

And FYI....most organized religion is hysterical and absurd to some degree. That does not mean that all religious people are...a good dose of scorn can be dropped at the feet of many churches here and around the world....I for one am secure enough in my own beliefs/opinions to see some of them mocked or dissected without getting all PC and hypersensitive...I'll leave that to the liberals....

Some people need a little more levity in their lives than others. You could be one of these people. Watch the show and see if it doesn't, a least, give you a chuckle. Please read the disclaimer.

Conservatism is at its heart based on individualism. Organized religion is by its very nature a collective enterprise. There's plenty of room to be affiliated with one but not the other.

Probably because Conservatives. . . .that is, REAL Conservatives:

1. Have a sense of humor . . .unlike liberals. . .

2. Don't like being told what they "shouldn't watch". . .

3. Unlike Liberals, we don't indulge in groupthink. . .

My goal in life has changed. It used to be, I wanted to be of service to G-d and to other people in need. I wanted to spend every day hearing G-d's will for me and having Him give me the power to carry it out.

Now, all I want to do is piss you off.

That's because we haven't attained your high level of moral purity.

How often do you watch that you would know if they are
"the right sort of conservative?"
