I was thinking about the Simpsons episode "Homer the Heretic" which portrays religion in a pretty unquestionably positive light.
Whatever happened to those kinds of Simpsons episodes? Heck, it feels like cartoons in general stay away from saying anything positive about religion these days, unless they're trying to be ironic.
Ethan Sanders
Because faith and government are the pillars of society. No one is protecting faith, so it's the best target to attack.
FYI I don't mean "faith" as in "sky fairy". I mean the more primordial definition of "faith" as in "treat people as generally good".
Isaac Perry
No one's protecting government either considering a Russian plant is now the ruler of America.
James James
Why do you keep spamming Simpons threads. We have like 12 up right now.
Adam Lewis
>russian plant
I thought he was just Bannon's puppet?
Jeremiah Campbell
I was told he was a lizard and also Literally Hitler. I'm very confused.
Wyatt Fisher
You're kidding, right? American media is flooded with how great religion is.
Lincoln Cooper
Examples?
Cameron Clark
Name 3 currently running cartoons that paint religion in a positive light.
Hard mode: no garbage religions like Judaism or Islam.
Andrew Barnes
Your definition of faith works better without religious attachment imo
Jackson Bailey
Name 3 currently running cartoons for children that teach any kind of lesson at all
Juan Long
Steven Universe. Dunno any others, I don't watch cartoons.
Ethan Ward
So much media endorses unquestioning dogma that something as simple as "sometimes faith is helpful" will be interpreted as "YOU MUST OBEY THE CHURCH".
Like for real, our cults are out of fucking hand and they make people scared to acknowledge that religion isn't inherently bad.

What lesson does TLH teach that children are capable of understanding?

If my waifu was real I'd treat her better than any other human bean though
Matthew Martinez
Yeah, because girls just love a pushover who is completely servile to them. /s

The Left shifted its ideologies even further to the left. Any liberal that shows the slightest bit of mercy toward religion is deemed a heretic now; not that it matters anyway, since liberals agree to everything their leading hierarchs spout at the moment, however contradictory.
Jace Richardson
No, you would just stalk her from a 30 meters distance, never having the balls so much to say 'hi' to her. As if it mattered, because she'd never even acknowledge your existence, just like every other girl in the planet.
Evan Martinez
It's worse than all that: He's a Narcisistic Moron.
Never assume malice when stupid will do.
Isaac Taylor
A stupid man wouldn't have made it as far as he has. He's convinced people he's an idiot just so they will be more inclined to take his actions at face value. This is exactly how the Russians have fooled people - they get them thinking "No way can it possibly be this, let's go with the answer that makes my brain feel better."
Nathan Scott
wew lads that's some hostile projecting who pissed in your morning cereal
John Long
It's because most cartoons stay away from religion in general. The Simpsons get away with it because well they're The Simpsons, they get away with a dad strangling his son being a running gag.
Ryan Ross
Just stop pretending you don't see a woman as another piece of meat to have sex with.
Robert King
>A stupid man wouldn't have made it as far as he has. Not neccessarily. You just need enough stupid people to vote for him. And in America, if the stupid happens to be beneficially spread, you don't even need a majority of stupid in your country, not even close to that. You could potentially elect stupid for president with like 23% of the votes.
Ethan Nelson
That's not quite what I mean. How would a stupid man have gotten rich enough to afford running a presidential campaign? You need to be somewhat smart to make money, or at least to hold onto it.
Hudson Gonzalez
All of the above. He also has a time machine and personally financed the faked moon landing, which, in the simultaneous four day time cube, directly caused the holocaust.
Joshua Roberts
The early 90s were a different time.
Lucas Sullivan
Stupid and smart are poor descriptors
Trump is an expert at making a deal, but that combined with his narcissism have made him extremely successfully ignorant on many other topics.
As a businessman, he's kinda smart, could be smarter. As a politician, he's a fucking genius. As an actual legislator and leader, he's practically brain-dead.
Isaac Miller
>considering a Russian plant is now the ruler of America. >Russian plant DIRTY RUSSIANS COMMIES! YOU HATE FREEDOM AND FREEDOM FRIES! WE AMERICANS ARE AMBASSADORS OF FREEDOM! RED RUSKIES COMMIES ARE AGAINST FREEDOM LIBERTY AND HATE AMERICA!!!!
Sincerely since when liberals tumblr retards started to behave like the rednecks they hate so much? you realize since russia are not communist there are no reasons of not accepting them as allies? Tulmblrtards are not supposed to be against redneck tier arguments about the supposed evil nature of russia?
you are disgusting hypocrites who want wars all over the world for your snowflakes problems.

>Black people can be uncool spergs Who knew Billy & Mandy was educational?

WELL THIS THREAD GOT OFF TO A GREAT START
Nathaniel Murphy
Nah, just chickenshit morons. Might as well say that conservatives parrot whatever Trump says, no matter how pants-on-head moronic it is. Maybe go outside instead of arguing with the people in your head.
