I think the reason South Park stings so badly is because the barbs are being stuck not so much into the religion as they are into some of the practitioners of it.

Exactly... if it isn't a funny part of the human experience that real people flock to strange apparitions that appear in toast, or statues, or the tailgate of a pickup truck, seeking cures for what ails them, then what is funny?

Bingo! I agree. The episode, as described, was in terribly poor taste however. The point was certainly made though.

Exactly. The focus wasn't the Virgin Mary or Christianity or "Miracles", it was about people using their religious beliefs as an excuse to engage in poor behavior.

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