AMC's show Preacher has set a new record for irreverence, making Jesus Christ out to be an adulterer and mentally handicapped. Yet on Sunday, the show managed to become even more offensive. In one episode, the character portraying Jesus smokes a joint and imagines himself robbing a bank. Next episode, he will negotiate with Adolf Hitler regarding the apocalypse.
Early in the episode, Tyson Ritter — whose character is listed as "Humperdoo, Jesus Christ, Jesus" on IMDB — smokes a joint with Ruth Negga, playing Tulip O'Hare. He reminisces about having sex with a married woman in the Garden of Gethsemane on the night before his crucifixion — originally shown in an episode in 2017, as Newsbusters reported. In that original episode, Jesus was introduced as "Humperdoo" and portrayed as an inbred simpleton.
Yet later in his conversation with O'Hare, Jesus imagines himself robbing a bank, and the scene concludes with him shooting an innocent man. Here's the video, courtesy of NewsBusters:
In the teaser for the next episode, Jesus negotiates with Hitler. The Nazi leader disagrees with the Christian notion of salvation being open to all believers, saying, "So, by your logic, one could start a World War, try to exterminate an entire people, level Danzig, and still go to heaven if they repent at the last second."
"If they repent, yes," Jesus replies.
"Well, that is going to change," Hitler counters.
"No, it isn't."
"Yes, it is, or I am taking back the homosexuals," the Nazi dictator says.

We should never be surprised to find the world is evil.
“...I hope nobody goes to see it....”
It’s an ongoing series on AMC, not a movie.
Weird.
Been watching it and find it fun...God has broad shoulders and His method of answering prayers proves it:
Sometimes He says “Yes”
Sometimes He says “No”
Sometimes He says “If you insist”
Won’t find God telling folks to rise up because of a cartoon or other such slur....
They need to go back to showing old movies.
They can explain themselves to Jesus in person some day. It likely will not be a happy day for them.
Good thing I haven’t had a TV in my house for nearly 20 years.
I’d be going full tilt 12-guauge Elvis every dang night.
Dumbest show I ever had the displeasure of watching.
