I don't have much of a point with this topic, except that: I enjoyed the episode, it highlights some issues that atheists have which seemed to be entirely ignored by mainstream culture during the first couple decades of mylife, and it reminded me of Arcamedes comments on people trashing his car.
(Most of this text is excerpted from http://www.familyguyscripts.com/S07E11_Not-All-Dogs-Go-to-Heaven.php) During the book burning Meg throws in the titles, “Origin of the Species” by Charles Darwin, “A Brief History of Time” by Stephen Hawkings & the fictitious title “Logic for First Graders” Brian, it's one thing to bash organized religion, but we believe in God in this house, I mean an atheist... that's just about the worst thing a person can be! Shut up beast! I have dominion over you and I command you to believe in God! I'm sorry, I just don't see any evidence. I mean, look at the Hubble telescope. It's discovered untold wonders of a vast unexplored universe. But not one picture of a guy with a beard sitting around on a cloud. I mean what's he doing up there? Look, Meg. I've had enough of this. You not gonna convert me. But Brian! I just want you to feel the joy that I feel. I mean the Church makes me feel accepted and safe and part of something bigger that myself. But Meg, you don't need an outside voice to feel those feelings, they're inside you. What you call "God" is inside you, all of us. And I just hate to see people hating and killing each other over their own interpretation of what they're not smart enough to understand. Good evening, I'm Tom Taker. Our top story tonight. Just when you thought the world couldn't be any more dangerous Channel 5 News has discovered that there is an atheist among us. Local church goer and juniour christian soldier Meg Griffin has identified the atheist as Brian Griffin of Spooner Street Here's the reaction from City Hall. Shocking to say the least. I'd rather have a terrorist living on our midst. At least they belive in a God. I'm a pariah, Lois Ever since Meg told everyone I'm an atheist I'm the most hated person in town. I try to rent a movie and they threw me out. I try to buy a pack of cigarettes and they threw me out. But the most serious part of it is no bar would serve me a drink! |

Its an excellent example of how its really just an us and them mentality.
Its all about social pressures to conform, people fear what they themselves do not understand. |

This image does not reflect my views; I just came across it, was amused, and thought others may be amused.

One year later... still one of my favorite episodes. One year later...I have a new (to me) car. No bumperstickers. Nothing to make my car stand out in any way. And I get less dirty looks and fewer door dings. And, so far, no damages. I hate having to "blend in" to protect my property. |
