>The Simpsons is the longest-running television series in history and is now on its 31st season. For many of us, The Simpsons used to be a weekly family event that we looked forward to that coupled a little bit of dirty humor (but not too dirty) with some good old-fashioned life lessons. Those days are over.
>Now, The Simpsons is nothing more than another propaganda outlet for liberals, progressives, gays, and other socially aberrant people who wish to pour out their anti-Christian religious beliefs and pro-Shinto on society to aid in its normalization.
The Bible does do all those things. Do Christians just not read their own book?
Gabriel Cook
They do, the Bible is just dark when uncensored.

It's literally been this for over a decade and NOW they're trying to call attention to it?
Gabriel Wright
The Simpson has turn into shit, no doubt about it, but Protestantism was a fucking mistake. And Shinto is a religion that is not a religion... kinda. At least the most common form of it is not a religion as we understand it in the West.
Ian Flores
I remember when the Simpsons went to church on Sundays.
Jonathan Hughes
>Do Christians just not read their own book? They have certain parts read to them, and most never bother to read the whole thing themselves.
Xavier Lewis
But never to the Shinto and Nippon Kaigi part of it to avoid offending it's South Korean animation staff.
The DuckTales reboot really did a number on Disney.
Anthony Foster
>Christians Old Testament has all the weird "thou shalt not cut thine hair else offend God" stuff, because it's from Jewish oral tradition - emphasis on the oral tradition part. New Testament doesn't make sense without Old Testament, but there's almost nothing in the New Testament that could be remotely construed as "problematic". Jesus embraced repentant prostitutes, where others spit upon them regardless of their contrition. And that's just one example, there are countless examples of Jesus criticizing the various ethnic tensions in the region.
But you don't care, do you? You've never read the Bible, and don't plan to.
Grayson Watson
And every time, the show made fun of the church.
Modern Simpsons is way too liberal but the problem isnt satirizing the right, it’s that they arent also satirizing the left. Best Simpsons mocked everyone, including the religious and religion in general.
I still don't understand why the new testament makes all of the old testament void? Why can christians eat pork and wear clothes made of multiple materials but being homosexual is still a problem.
Robert Scott
>Yes the book says all this horrible stuff but we just ignore it because Jesus told people to be nice >Despite Jesus saying that we'll be horrible and judgemental to everyone
Josiah Morris
Blame the DuckTales Reboot for not being PRODUCED by Telecom (they animated the original series) the same way those Marvel anime were by Madhouse, except with a $3 million dollar budget per episode. The Bible was made before Aids/HIV was discovered, thats why.
Julian Rodriguez
>when people who have never read the Bible make jokes about what the Bible says
Gavin Cooper
don't knock it till you try it. there's plenty of other philosophies/religions in the world. I don't see people obsess over this middle eastern one (christianity) so much.
Isaiah Fisher
If it was any other genre a book that poorly written would be sat at the bottom of a bargain bin.
Michael Garcia
The old one isn't "void", it's just that you can ignore almost half of it because sometimes Jesus says it doesn't count and sometimes he says it does en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_5:17
But let's be real, people hated gays first and looked for excuses later where they could. They didn't invent homophobia in the 18th century when literacy rates got high enough for people to read the whole Bible and not what the priest chose for them every week.
Okay but everybody has AIDS and shit now its not exclusively a gay problem and its no longer a death sentence. Are you sure its because homosexuality does not create more lil believers for the cult?
James Davis
That's so early 2000s
Luke Torres
This fucking garbage is still on? At this point who the hell watches this?
Lincoln Diaz
No, they don't as humans would be extincted.
>Are you sure its because homosexuality does not create more lil believers for the cult? No, just strictly because people in those days did not know about HIV and Aids, that is it.
Chase Nguyen
So depending on how you interpret one passage it makes the first half non essential? Why even keep the old testament then if its not whats important or anything that one should follow?
Charles Cook
While the message might be right, that joke is extremely outdated and there's nothing progressive or radical about saying "lol Bible is full of mixed messages" now.
Adam Morales
You're about thirty years late on this one, lads.
Cooper Hall
I'm not saying Shinto itself is cringe. it works just fine for what, 200 million people ? Just that practicing it because you're too much of a hipster for the desert religions and Buddhism got too mainstream in the West is.
