Pat Boone Accuses 'SNL' of Anti-Christian Bias After 'God's Not Dead 2' Parody
The Hollywood Reporter ^ | 18 April 2016 | Paul Bond

“This skit was outright sacrilege. They know if they did this to Muslims they’d have to be put into the witness protection program,” the singer-actor said. Pat Boone is calling out NBC and Saturday Night Live for allegedly being anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, cowardly, “diabolical” and even demonic for a skit over the weekend that parodied God’s Not Dead 2, the actor-singer’s latest movie.

In God’s Not Dead 2, Melissa Joan Hart plays a public school teacher who is persecuted for answering a student’s question about Jesus. In the SNL skit, a trailer for a movie called God is a Boob Man features a woman being forced by a Jewish ACLU lawyer to declare that “God is gay.”

“God has a sense of humor. Why else would he invent the porcupine and the giraffe?” Boone told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday. “Something can be devilishly funny, but this skit is diabolical. God has only one real enemy — Satan. Satan ridicules faith, and they’re taking Satan’s side. They’re also ridiculing me and the film, telling impressionable young people not to see it because it's ridiculous. Then they throw in that the lawyer is Jewish to make the Christian look even worse, but it’s just anti-Semitic.”

Boone said he used to watch SNL religiously, and in the early years he was asked to host the show.

I never implied anything. Get a grip. Are you that insecure? I could care less who you are, what you own, or anything about you. This is crazy. Your identity and self esteem is insulted by an innocuous blog post? Get a life, one beyond FR.

You sure seemed eager enough to brag about not having television.

Why?

What blog post?
Do you think Free Republic is a blog?
If so, you’re more of a dumbass that I first thought.
