All told, it is the grandest trans-cultural event of epic proportions in the history of mankind, rivaled only by the Bible. I use the word rivaled with some consideration, not only because of the impact of the series on the modern world, but also because of the worldview it so powerfully implants in its devotees. In short, the series is a kind of anti-Gospel, a dramatized manifesto for behavior and belief embodied by loveable, at times admirable, fictional characters who live out the modern ethos of secular humanism to its maximum parameters

I don't even know what that guy is talking about.

As the resident Pentecostal, I can tell you with some authority that there is no interpretation.

We might also consider for a moment the fact that no sane parents would give their children books which portrayed a set of "good" pimps and prostitutes valiantly fighting a set of "bad" pimps and prostitutes, and using the sexual acts of prostitution as the thrilling dynamic of the story.

There's your nano plot. :~)
