No, I was just asking for an answer that was clear.
How did you come to think I was a pagan?

I'm a little confused as to how you can say that the program was irrelevant, when the people who actually experienced it differ. Because on the larger scale, people are more likely to quit alcohol by themselves than with AA. This discredits the claim that AA is somehow more effective than getting no treatment.
OTOH, if AA actually does work for certain people, that's great. I do not favor abolishing AA, but the attitude that it's the only way (you may not think it, but that's the way it's preached), and how it's hyped as the best way to quit drinking is false.
On a personal level, I disagree with the basic tenets, which is that one is powerless to change himself, when it is exactly personal power over his life that he needs. The "alcohol is a disease" angle also pisses me off. As Stan said, cancer is a disease, just stop drinking. If you need help, fine, but you don't have a disease.
It could also be related to the fact that AA is religious proselytization in the guise of treatment.

This what you get with "conservatives" for whom culture war holds no meaning.

"Jewlliard" was not about making fun of yeshiva, but making fun of Jon Edward and the people who believed that he really could channel their loved ones."

That was one of my favorite episodes... as I recall Edrwards got the "Biggest Douhce in the Universe" award or something.

My point is, isn't calling all priests pedophile and having Pope John Paul II depicted as a babbling idiot didn't cross the line??
SP "crosses the line" all the time. I'm surprised when they don't cross the line.

South Park panders to the most devolved human minds on earth.
Actually, it's rather sophisticated humor with a bawdy polish. Often its' complexity is lost on simple minds.
To: Lunatic Fringe
Do they realize that South Park insults EVERY religion? Oh, so that makes it OK. Thanks for clearing that up.

And don't forget that they always satire Christmas. Remember the one from last year with the woodland animals wanting a virgin birth Savior of their own so they could have Christmas? One of the kids thought it was real cute and helped them out and then learned that their saviour was really the anit-christ.

They hit the Catholic church years ago over the pedophile issue. It was a funny episode and did not draw much ire because, I think, it attacked the Church and the men only not God, Jesus or the Virgin Mary.
I did not see this episode and I am sure it was in bad taste but I just don't get the Catholic obsession with Mary? I have heard more catholics utter the name of Jesus as a frustrated explicative but somehow Mary to them is untouchable..

Suppose they were to depict someone tearing pages from a Koran and using them to wipe their butts. If they do that I will hold the coat of a Muslim who cuts their throats.HOLY COW IS RIGHT!
And that person is talking only depiction! (post #351)

Robert Bork made a case for "censorship" and standards particularly with BROADcasts. He is not a man of few words but his arguments were very strong.

It is called crossing a line. Suppose they were to depict someone tearing pages from a Koran and using them to wipe their butts. If they do that I will hold the coat of a Muslim who cuts their throats.I think you're impersonating a Christian. The Bible mocks both idol worshipers and pagans.
You've crossed a line. Killing people for mocking false religion in both anti-Christian and anti-American.

How many people objected to the strange, chimera-like appearance God has in South park?

" The alcoholic who just stops drinking -- South Park's simplistic "solution" to Stan Marsh's imaginary problem -- is just a dry drunk, a relapse waiting to happen. For the solution to be permanent and effective, there are 11 more steps to go through, and dodging accountability is absolute anathema to that process."I agree with Blzbba's post - seems to me I read a study somewhere that the people least likely to revert to alcoholism are the ones who just decided to stop drinking. The ones in programs (any of them) are the ones who tend more to go back to the booze.

I believe it was the Mormons who have the right beliefs and the only ones allowed in heaven. Which was a direct 'apology' of sorts for the hilarious satire of the Mormon faith from an earlier episode.And after that Saddam Hussein gets sent to Heaven because he was too much trouble for Hell. That freaks him out when the Mormon take him to a cookie bake. Then, in a later episode, Saddam consripts the Mormons into making WMD's in Heaven and the U.S. is ready to bomb!
