[South Park: Twisted Christian]

 “Why is there a camera in the girls bathroom?”

”To capture the Antichrist.”

This was decent.


The show pulls another from the Vice City/SR2 soundtrack. Would be promising if Jesus weaponizes the frat bro bullshit for the better good.

 

It’s my obligation as an atheist to be smug about the implication that Christianity’s suddenly been hijacked when it’s always been a hateful conservative threshold. 

This, in turn, is shot down with the fact it’s MAGA now specifically. Here’s the thing..... we’ve suffered Trump’s campaign for a fucking decade now, basically. 

Separation of Church and State means as much to me as the second amendment did for that buzzard who took a neck shot for the second amendment. Hence why I applauded the premiere in the first place.


Christians are the majority though, and I’m not.

Just a CC toward two billionaires that went “Richard Dawkins? So what if he’s not real, you gay stupid fuck? Haha! You’re gay and stupid!” I just don’t see a whole lot of Christians taking value and singing kumbaya that South Park endorses only now that the belief system’s been compromised.

I guess if you want to pat yourself on the back for this one, go ahead. I was still entertained but otherwise didn’t truly see much of anything new besides a fun Peter Thiel bit.

I was depressed. Because on South Park Jesus isn't a religious deity I worship (although I frankly don't worship real-world Jesus either) he's a fictional character I really like. I sort of took his transformation not in the spirit of the show saying "Fuck Christianity" and more like Flanderizing a character I dig. It's true that Flanderization is often necessary in fiction due to changes in the real world. But I don't have to like it.
