I should add that far from being a Christian, I am a ‘miscellaneous’ right along with Apu. Your brand of atheism is or ought to be equally repugnant to adherents of any religion, as well to adherents of atheistic-humanistic philosophies.

The Simpsons, far from being atheistic, is (or was during the years it was good – I stopped watching a long time ago) the most faithfully religious show on TV. The family goes to church every week. They believe in God. That you don’t see the difference between the spin on these quotes when they’re made in the context of the show, and when you use them, is kind of funny to me. Matt Groening is presumably not an atheist, and that’s why the jokes are funny. They aren’t mean-spirited, they’re made in love by someone who believes (and whose characters believe) in God despite all the trivial silliness such as that lampooned in the quotes above.

You, meanwhile, don’t understand that it’s trivial silliness – you think it’s capital-C Christianity. In other words, these trivial things, which Groening sees as trivial compared to faith itself, you think ARE faith. You are in gross error.

Another great one from “Homer the Heretic”! It really is hard for me to narrow down good quotes from that show. For some reason, this reminds me of the part of that episode when Rev. Lovejoy is reading from the church bulletin: “Card table for sale, top badly damaged, leg missing, otherwise fine. $1 or best offer.” Great stuff.

My favorite Simpsons quote about religion is when Marge is dragging Homer into church, and he mutters:

“But what if it turns out that we’re worshiping the wrong god? Then God just gets madder and madder!”
