When the Homily is about Immunology

In the Wackly Religious News Department

The man who creates the voice for "Chef" in the obnoxious TV show "South Park" has quit citing the show's irreverance toward religion. But, after years of slamming Christianity - sometimes in ways that even I deemed offensive - it would take "South Park" hitting upon his own scientology to convince the actor that "Religious beliefs are sacred to people, and at all times should be respected and honored. As a civil rights activist of the past 40 years, I cannot support a show that disrespects those beliefs and practices."

One of the show's creators poignantly noted the hypocrisy: "This is 100% having to do with his faith of Scientology... He has no problem — and he's cashed plenty of checks — with our show making fun of Christians."

I would simply say to the show's creators: C'mon boys, let's not think too highly of yourselves as slick equal opportunity offenders, not today anyway. Insulting Christians and Christian beliefs are so passe'...I mean please who has NOT done that? Let's stop pretending to be so "cutting edge" or "hard hitting" or "provocative." Surely you must be bored with the absolute lack of GOOD provocation you are seeing by insulting the Virgin Mary etc, no? Try something new, boys. For you see, to earn such "badges of free speech honor" these days, you have to insult Islam! Go for it...just make sure you get PLENTY of worldwide PR.
