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 lefts 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.
Meh - all happened through evolution; anyway no evolutionist ever explained how life comes from non-life or even how the reproductive system “evolved”.
Compare and contrast with South Park’s Trey Parker:
“Out of all the ridiculous religion stories — which are greatly, wonderfully ridiculous — the silliest one I’ve ever heard is, ‘Yeah, there’s this big, giant universe and it’s expanding and it’s all going to collapse on itself and we’re all just here, just ‘cuz. Just ‘cuz. That to me, is the most ridiculous explanation ever.”
Family Guy??
No Thanks. Show sucks.
Sounds bad....until you watch Murdoch or Swaggart begathons.
Never seen an episode.
Hubby watches this and I do too, upon occasion. Sometimes it is funny, but it is also always awful.
I said tonight that I thought this episode might be the worst I’d ever seen. And believe me, the “religious people are idiots” wasn’t even the worst part.
A show for the low IQ crowd.
Murdoch is creepy; almost sinister.
Little late in life for me to start watching cartoons anywho...

A other liberal pussy that finds it so funny to mock Christians. Hey what about Muslims, or does he support women being oppressed and homosexuals being murdered? Family Guy was never funny. All the crap on Fox Sunday is just that, crap.
Never once even came close to chuckling watching that show.
But he sure wants your money for his Christmas album. At least he didnt hypocritically put a religious song on it. I dont buy Christmas albums without any religious songs on them.
Coward.
Let's see him go to Tehran or Islamabad and say the same thing there.
McFarlane may be funny, but (low voice) he’s not too bright.
This show always has been a pile of crap. Its only gotten worse.
Exactly.
Let him come face to face with those who fight back.
Have there been any atheists that are willing to take on Islam?
