LOL what are you talking about? Allen’s comedy routines and films had no effect on religious belief and morality at all.
Nichols and May pioneered an intellectual form of comedy. Nichols went on to direct the films ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf’ and ‘The Graduate’ which broke all sorts of ridiculous Hollywood censorship taboos. Is that what you’re talking about?
When someone has to resort to LOL, you know they have no rational response.
Unfortunately, mainstream entertainment over the past 40-50 years has served more than anything else to change our morality and ethics as a nation.
Allen was hilarious. I will always remember the bit about how the bullet in his pocket saved him from the Bible hurled by a roving Bible salesman.
And how he was hanging out with Gertrude Stein and Hemingway in the left bank.
That he was talented doesn’t change or negate what I am pointing out.
And I should have to argue about such obvious historical facts at a web site like FR.
