Budge, you think it's wrong to portray God the Father?

Glad you agree.

I have to admit one thing that bugs me about the Simpsons is the protrayal of God--breaking second commandment and once, I believe it was on a show where they made fun of Revelation, they had such a blasphemous picture of Jesus, it actually made me flinch. They showed Jesus sitting on a swing looking forlorn and miserable, twirling around, and saying..."Dont make me go back down there Dad, look what they did to me last time!" {paraphrasing}



I try to have a sense of humor, but that really really really bugged me. I think they cross a line when they "make fun" of God.

I disagree with your interpetation of that episode. It didn't make fun of revelation, but it certainly made fun of the people who think they can predict when its coming. I don't understand why you think that particular scene is blasphemous, they don't make fun of God they make a joke about what Jesus went through (btw it was God the Father talking to Homer, and he tells him that his Son hasn't been the same since he went to earth, and He asks Homer what they did to Him)

I think what Budge is trying to say is that it's wrong to portray God the Father in a bad light. She thinks the Simpsons was making a mockery of it.

Showing Jesus looking all forlorn twirling on a swing all depressed, isnt exactly being honoring to Him.
