If you saw the Go, Go, God story played out (the buck rogers parody) you would have seen a somewhat respectful view of religious belief.

Sure, they may not believe in Jesus. But they, like many of our generation with similar politics, are not willing to totally condemn faith.

There’s a key line from that episode that sums up the whole shebang:

Kyle: If you don’t show Mohammed, then you’ve made a distinction what is okay to poke fun at, and what isn’t. Either it’s all okay, or none of it is.

It was definitely one of South Park’s more offensive moments, but I don’t think the point would have been made quite as effectively if it hadn’t gone that route. Yeah, it probably put off a lot of viewers(you included). I think we need to view this in the big picture angle though. South Park is counter culture, and does a VERY effective job of getting people(especially younger people, their target audience) to think and question the absurdity of PC. I don’t think there’s any other popular television program that does this, let alone do it as well as South Park does.

Seems to me this season they took their own advice and quit being so preachy and up their own ass with messages. None of the episodes this season seemed incredibly political to me. Even with Al Gore showing up a few times.

They kind of talk about being preachy in the commentary for the new season out on DVD. At the time they were making these episodes, they were in the news, and being interviewed on tv, and in the news again. Being that they were in the media, they saw what was being said, and having a show with such a fast turn around time, able to counter what was being said.
