I am a HUGE fan of the simpsons! Even though some of the episodes are a little dodgy, and we don't let the kids watch many halloween specials, or Itchy & Scratchy, there is a Simpson character in all of us.
However, i think Reverend Lovejoy does a lot of damage to the Christian way of life. And the more my faith grows, the more it irritates me! I realise it's just a cartoon, and so the characters have to be played up. But i'm still allowed to be annoyed at this character. How many kids and adults alike watch this show? How many people are getting the messege that Church life and the Christian walk is just a fickle thing?
A sad thing is, unfortunatly there really are churches like that, and that i guess is the "Joke".
I'll always watch the Simpsons, So i guess i better get used to rolling my eyes at the Rev huh? lol
