Hey, we all know that Bart, Homer et all are fiction characters and not the best example to any religion, but it's a light article, a joke if you want.

"Clearly Mr. Possati hasn’t watched very many Simpsons’
episodes, including the movie where Homer mocks churchgoers who are “too
busy talking to their phony-baloney God.” And I’m sure Lovejoy would be
curious that his dedicated “Presbylutheran” family who regularly
attends the First Church of Springfield suddenly has a new faith."
My favorite is when Homer decides to stop going to church, and he's got the house to himself on Sunday morning...as he's relaxing he says "everyone is stupid except me."
And c'mon, there's no way the Simpson family is Catholic, the Reverend Lovejoy/whatever church they go to is some generic amalgamation of Protestant churches.

I'm sure Ivan and Mike won't disappoint us. If they exhausted all the Dawkins-Pope-science debate, I'm sure the Simpsons will provide a good ground for more debate...

Monty Burns is really based on Pat the libertarian?
I am surprised at how often I find myself agreeing with Burn's rants.

Classic.
I was also oddly persuaded by his justification for stealing a billion dollars from the U.S. Government, although I can't remember it off the top of my head. Something about the feds wasting the money on schools and "do-nothing nuclear warheads."
