Lately, Family Guy had being making fun of so many left-wing sacred cows, I was beginning to wonder if Seth MacFarlane had been red-pilled. But this week, Family Guy returned to mocking one of the left’s most-hated groups: Christians.
Family Guy has been downright sacrilegious in its attacks on Christianity in the past. This week, in the episode “Cat Fight,” on November 3, it called Christians, and religious believers in general, “stupid” and “idiots.”
In the episode, Lois takes Chris and Meg to a Christian family camp after her children get in trouble in school. When they paint pictures of Jesus, the camp guide tells them to lighten Jesus' hair and make his eyes blue. "Remember, history says that Jesus does not look like a traditional man from the Middle East, but rather someone who sells raw milk online," she tells them. Eventually, Lois and the kids decide to ditch the place.
Lois: Good riddance, Christian family camp.
Meg: Totally. I will say, though, it seemed like Chris enjoyed himself there.
Lois: Well, Meg, you know Chris is (quietly): A little bit dumb, and I know you're not particularly popular or beautiful, but you do have a head on your shoulders. So religion isn't gonna be for people like you and me. It's basically for (quietly): Stupid people like Chris. So to summarize, religion for you and me? No good. But for (quietly): Idiots like Chris? Perfect.
Chris: What are you guys talking about?
Lois: How handsome you are.
Chris: Really?
Lois: Swear to God.
Meg: You're a monster.
Seth MacFarlane has said, “I do not believe in God. I'm an atheist. I consider myself a critical thinker, and it fascinates me that in the 21st century most people still believe in, as George Carlin puts it, 'the invisible man living in the sky.' ” He is not among atheists like Camille Paglia who readily acknowledges the great intellectual contributions of Christianity to civilization. He tends to play out his more reductive and narrow-minded view through middle-school insults of Christians.
One hopes he will someday grow in his understanding of religion in general and Christians in particular. Until then, Family Guy will likely continue to attack God and lob insults at billions of Christians throughout the world.
It was funny in the early years.
FG has been unwatchable for a long time.
Fox’s ‘Family Guy’ Calls Muslims ‘Stupid People,’ ‘Idiots’
Fox’s ‘Family Guy’ Calls African-American Believers ‘Stupid People,’ ‘Idiots’
I don’t watch moronic garbage like that.
Fanily Guy should have stayed canceled. Instead it turned into another never ending animated sitcom that is stale and not even funny.
The humor became too mean too much of the time.
I don’t watch cartoons for that.
Apparently, some do.
There are a lot of evil shows on TV, in fact probably most of them.
Family Guy can be clever but it is the worst of them all. It would probably be the most maliciously evil show I have ever seen and it has a lot of competition for that spot.
This is such an empty, childish way to dismiss Christianity. Whether or not one has Faith, the reality and history of Christianity's contribution to civilization is enormous and should never be dismissed lightly. The Left, on the other hand, has achieved nothing good. Ever.
ME-TV runs the Flintstones now.
I’ll stick with the gang from Bedrock.
I wonder whet he’ll say when he meets the Big Guy later on.
Some off the greatest minds in the West —in literature, in the sciences, in classical music and art, in political leadership — have been devout and practicing Christians. I’ll take them over a guy who makes cartoons.
1 Corinthians 1:18
Just because he self-identifies as a critical thinker, doesn’t mean he is one. (Quietly) just don’t tell him that.
Also Psalms 14:1
Wonder if McFarland has the balls to insult Muhammad?
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18
There was at least one episode, “Turban Cowboy”, but it’s not as funny when reality is worse than the humor. I suspect he pulled a few punches to avoid a fatwa for his death.
Great, let’s him make an episode about the creator of the
irreducibly complex DNA code
FG isn’t particularly funny, but it says things that are pretty awkward for a lot of people.
Unrelated — great movie: The Invention of Lying.
Nice clean family fun.
