@Mike_Jahn: i have to agree about the lack of Jew hating in my Catholic youth. Also, (I'm black), I have to give props to the nuns for never making me feel anything but love -- or, rather, guilt and fear, but in the exact same amounts as every other kid got. Fer what it's worth -- they were equal opportunity mean.

Reminds me of an old Sammy Davis, Jr. joke:

Sammy: "Three."

Deam Martin: "Three!?"

Sammy: "Yeah, I'm black, Jewish, and I only have one eye."

Where I went to school, certain evangelical girls used ALL their feminine wiles to get male converts. Later one turned into a snotty goth, regrettably not as slutty in that guise.

Oh man, alright, admittedly, a terrible show for five-year-olds. But a fabulous show for killing time at 1 am in college. In the really early episodes, Bibleman had a different black sidekick, whose name was, I shit you not, Coats. He never left the Biblecave, wore capri pants all the time, and he and Bibleman hugged each other a lot and at one point had a conversation about their deepest fears. Bibleman's deepest fear was "losing you, Coats." But apparently the producer's deepest fear was latent manlove, because Coats got the boot pretty soon after that.

the "christians" officially love the jews becuz teh jews have to all come home to izrael before jesus can come back home

I don't see anything offensive about the "New York Jew" ... I'm sure that's a coincidence...

2 things, however...

A) Why does a Christian program have a pentagram in it? Top left logo... & B) Why is the audience depicted as evil and duplicitous? I've always seen rowdy daytime t.v. audiences as standing up for whole grain values, booing the polygimast, bad father, whatnot...

I am currently in the process of compiling donor lists for the worst evangelical organizations (Focus On The Family, Concerned Women For America, etc.), and I can tell you that the money flowing into them is shocking.

What we need as a society to get rid of this kind of nonsense is to shine a very bright light on it. Good on Pareene for being part of the solution.

Jenniferhdaniel — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:30:37 EDT

"a near perfect pitch for the common evangelical notion that feelings are to be trusted above rational discernment" That's not entirely true. Evangelicals do not trust human feelings at all, rather they trust the feelings of the Pappy, Jr and the Ghost, all of whom speak to them after they write big fat checks to the churches of their choice. Mary, however, ain't never in charge with the evangelicals. She holds court over the confessors. Also, I rely on Charles' feelings. Charles is still in charge. Of my days AND my nights.

Also: The REAL Real Housewives of New York City and of course, syndicated episodes of Mad Money.
