The Catholic church near me livestreams their service. I was thinking about going so I checked out the livestream and it was mostly old people. Sadly they even had an in memoriam section for members who had passed away. Hopefully one day I can find a church that has nice looking girls
What's more plausible. Joseph Smith received some golden tablets with writings of ancient people to guide modern people back to God?
Or, all of civilization is a progression of science and culture leading us out of the dark ages into the current peak of history where we finally understand the ultimate ethic of human rights and individuality.
Trust me man, I did the grad school philosophy thing and the main lesson I learned is that all our beliefs are fricking insane and your best off believing your own experiences and cultural inheritance.
I'm from the bible belt so many people I know go. But to be honest they're all the "holier than thou" boomer types that are complete buttholes in day to day life but still act like they're saints on Sunday. I was also best friends with the son of a black pastor of a church here, and boy did I learn about how fricked up that household was behind the scenes. I like the idea of church but I don't like the reality of it, I've only been a few times myself.
This is why they’re doing this, not because of silly /misc/ reasons. The real-life Simpsons family would have gone to church in the 1990’s, if only as a formality. The real-life Simpsons family today would not.
>mother is nonreligious and father is israelite >but as nonpracticing israelite as you can get >i never had a bar mitzvah or have even stepped foot inside a synagogue
There's two near me with large communities. I'd like to attend, they all seem to nice and happy but I just don't believe in that God or that I'll get anything from pretending to follow the scripture so don't go.
It wasn't until I was 16 before I even found out that Churches were a Christian thing and not just some weird American thing. THAT's how few people go to Church in my Western European country.
People don't even go to churches for marriage, burials etc anymore. I don't know any Christians personally, never seen one IRL and I have to go back 5 generations before finding a religions person in my family tree (great-great-grandfather)
We are also one of the richest countries with lowest crime rate, which might be related.
Why would I want an acritical view of some old traditions shaping my life? There is not even room for debate. Plus all the disadvantages of any big social gatherings.
Dropped.
Only some catholic churches and chad orthodox churches (and like 1-2 black churches) are worth going to. The rest are boring high school assembly tier of latte + bad guitar homosexual priest singing about shit he doesn’t understand tier.
People forget the entire point of Flanders in the beginning was to be the better Homer. Homer hated him out of jealousy, not because he was "annoying". His Christianity was a element of him being a squeaky clean family man, not the entire point of his character. That version of Flanders disappeared almost immediately.
The golf episode was pretty based by showing Flanders getting angry and petty like Homer after having his considerable patience exhausted. I think that's sort of the peak of Flanders as a character with religion being irrelevant to the story.
> Marge and Homer make their relationship an open relationship.
They already did that. Marge fricked an athletic black guy and homer spent the entire episode failing to pick up women until he ended up fricking the black guy too
Simpsons had an episode like that but Homer received lots of female attention but he "used" them just for their food only to get dissatisfied and wanting Marge's food back. While marge missed cooking for someone that enjoyed the food.
Why do I know these two factoids? I have no life and watch everything.
Maybe if you Christcucks werent such spineless homosexuals things would be different.
They dont go after Muslims and israelites because they will both respond with violence and financial frickery respectively. Christcucks will just take it up the ass and no nothing, as always.
uhh actually if you read your bible >Deuteronomy 20:16-18 >16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy[a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God.

I was watching S3-6 on a binge last week, the man is LITERALLY the highlight of every episode he's in, even the episodes where he's got 30 seconds of screen time
bart has global catchphrases, he is their international mascot they're not going to make it bart. it's like disney making mickey mouse trans.

How much Simpsons merchandise is actually being bought these days? I haven’t seen a Simpsons t-shirt in years, although I don’t live around hispanics, so that may account for it.

They won't make Lisa or any of the main characters trans, that's a change they're not risking.
Instead, it will be Lisa adopting they/them pronouns - mark my words. It will fit the character too: every single straight white girl who's up to her neck in woke shit goes by they pronouns these days, as it's the perfect zero-effort way to become queer and thus earn that coveted victim status these types worship.

Secretly based? Now we see the end result of a godless show continued beyond unholy 34 season unlife.
What's the viewing demographic for modern Simpsons? Is it mostly streaming or TV? I assume it's not boomers since they hated the show (?) Is it just aging gen x/millennials who keep watching one horribly unfunny episode a week even though it's completely different from how it was?
Why are christ- and hinducucks so suicidal when compared to chad muslims? Like Buddhism makes sense; half of its adherents are atheists in denial, but what drives street shitter polytheism and Judaism 2.0 adherents to commit suicide?
Muslims have a special loophole where you commit suicide by "accident" so that you get into heaven. This skews the statistics because the arabic nations following Hadith law have to officially declare it not a suicide but an accident even though it clearly is suicide.

>and what more progressive than to erase religion?
so people can't practice religion and keep it to themselves? no, all religion must be erased, although I have a strong feeling that the writer of the article would have an issue with erasing judaism and islam
I love the Simpsons because it's like a running documentation of the fall and decline of American culture and civilisation, watchable in real time and documented for all eternity
Do people who call themselves "progressive" not understand they are indistinguishable from an aggressive invading religious cult? It's all happened before throughout history.
What next? Are they going to go back and re-edit the episodes where Marge makes reference to her being a Christian, and kill off Reverend Lovejoy?
No, they'll just never mention religion again except as a weird cult thing only crazy people do. The Simspons were never Christian, ever.
lisa has an abortion

At what point did Flanders stop acting as a foil to Home and just become a soapbox for the fedora tipping nu-writers to shit on religion
I think around the time Maude died.

Next arc: Marge and Homer make their relationship an open relationship. Marge's side bf of the week will be a guest celebrity everytime!
Simpsons did it already. Homer and Marge both canonically have cuck fantasies.

was he topping?
There is no way that is a real episode
That was Family Guy.
Simpsons had an episode like that but Homer received lots of female attention but he "used" them just for their food only to get dissatisfied and wanting Marge's food back. While marge missed cooking for someone that enjoyed the food.

Wrong, Smithers isn't black anymore.
And he's not burnsexual anymore, just a flaming homosexual.
Does anyone here actually watch the Simpsons new episodes?
I unironically don't know anyone who does
I haven't watched the simpsons since the 90s.
That's the thing. I know many people who watched the show years ago, but none of them watch the new episodes
I'm starting to believe this
Merchandise is 100% the only reason why it keeps going, everyone could stop watching it but the show would continue being made
Literally no one does, its a tax write off.
>It's a tax write off
Explain how this would work please.
No, the ratings come from elderly people who have their TV on 24/7 and the third world
>what more progressive than to erase religion

Maybe if you Christcucks werent such spineless homosexuals things would be different.

Christ did command them to turn the other (butt)cheek
uhh actually if you read your bible

To be fair that's been outdated for over 20 years
Isn't that like the opposite of progressive? I guess it would be too offensive to have then convert to Islam or something.

Homer has literally met numerous denominations Gods, there have been ghosts. how can they not believe in a higher power or the afterlife?
The Simpsons has no continuity at all, except when there is. You know what I mean.
Do people who call themselves "progressive" not understand they are indistinguishable from an aggressive invading religious cult? It's all happened before throughout history.
