Fox's Family Guy has been mocking Christianity since the early years of the show. Last night's episode turned Jesus into a vulgar comedian who mocks His mother's virginity.
In the episode, "Faith No More," Brian goes back in time to erase Christianity from existence after an attractive Evangelical Christian woman refuses to have sex with him.
After being rejected by a veterinary nurse who is an Evangelical Christian, Brian comes home and rants to Stewie about Christianity.
Brian: Christianity sucks. It's stupid, arbitrary nonsense.
Stewie: You're horny and she wouldn't have sex with you.
Brian: No. And I did everything right. I even researched abortion clinics in case the condom broke.
Stewie: Yeah, no, I know. It's in your Twitter bio.
Brian: Fine, but look around. So much of the division and hatred in today's society comes from Christianity. And it's so hypocritical. I mean, they all vote for Trump, even though he's divorced.
Stewie: That's all you've got on Trump?
Brian: Christianity is also anti-science, anti-freedom--
Stewie: Come on, it's not all bad. I mean, I have a Swarthy Men of Nazareth advent calendar with doors opening for all 25 days. Talk about the "Stars" of Bethlehem, hey, Bri?
Brian: Whatever. Christianity is the worst thing that ever happened to this country. Or the world.
Stewie: Well, perhaps. But it's been around for 2,000 years, so it's not like there's anything you can do about it. Well, I'm going to bed. I'll leave you to watch John Oliver and agree with yourself.
Brian: Good. Love John Oliver. He's a louder Jon Stewart.
John Oliver voice: Blimey, guv'na. Republicans are bollocks.
Brian: God, the British are smart. But, man, if only could get rid of Christianity. If only I could go back in time.
For all the blasphemy, this scene admittedly nails the selfishness of an abortion-loving leftist angry at a woman for not sleeping with him, while also accurately mocking John Oliver.
Brian hops into a time machine in Stewie's bedroom and travels to 30 AD in search of Jesus. He hopes to prevent Christ from accomplishing His mission on Earth. He asks some men on the street if they know Jesus.
"Jesus Christ, you mean the guy who showed his weiner on a dare at camp?" one of the men replies.
Brian finds Jesus and learns that the Son of God really wants to be a stand-up comedian instead of the Messiah. God the Father is portrayed as a controlling jerk. The dog convinces Jesus to reject his Father's plans and do stand-up instead.
Jesus' stand up routine includes sex jokes and also mocks the Virgin Mary.
Jesus: So, my dad's God. [Crowd cheering] Thank you, thank you. And growing up, he taught me all about carpentry. Yeah. Uh, I guess he thought teenage boys should spend more time rubbing wood. [Crowd laughs] And my mom's a virgin. That's fun. Uh, yeah, when I was a teenager, I had to give her the talk.
Vulgarity is par for the course in any Family Guy episode involving Christianity. Past examples include sexualizing the Last Supper and calling God a "dick." This episode is in line with the series' regular obsession with degrading Christ.
When Brian and Stewie return to the present day, they learn Christianity no longer exists and everyone is Jewish. Brian is happy until sundown when the family shuts off their electronics and prepares to walk to the synagogue. Upset about Jewish religious rules, Brian and Stewie go back to the time machine. Stewie bribes Moses to not receive the Ten Commandments.
The world is then devoid of religion. History shows that a world that rejects God morphs into Hell on Earth, but not in Seth MacFarlane's world.
"Finally, a world with no religion, no prejudices, no irrationalities. Just science-based reason," Brian declares.
Then God shows up as a delivery man and angrily beats up Brian and Stewie until they bring religion back. In the end, a bruised and battered Stewie and Brian are seen singing in church.
Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane is a vocal atheist. His series often uses religion, particularly Christianity, as a punching bag. "Faith No More" was just the latest example and will likely not be the last.

If they repent not, their fate is already written:
Revelation 20:12-15
King James Version
12 And I saw the Dead, Small and Great, stand before God; and the Books were opened: and another Book was opened, which is the Book of Life: and the Dead were judged out of those things which were written in the Books, according to their works.
13 And the Sea gave up the Dead which were in it; and Death and Hell delivered up the Dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And Death and Hell were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the Second Death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire.

I don’t watch TV either, only reason I know if this is I read Newsbusters.
Yep
2 Thessalonians 1:6-9
King James Version
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from Heaven with His mighty angels,
8 In Flaming Fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the Glory of His power;

And yet they’ll almost never mock other religions for obvious reasons. Hypocrisy at its finest.
Father, in the Name of Jesus, reveal yourself to Seth MacFarlane in such a way that he cannot but know that You are real. Amen.

mocking those who strive to turn the other cheek doesn’t take much...
find some bawls and start mocking mohammed
Family Guy has been a sick show since its inception. I remember the trailers running for it before season one even started, and could tell then that being irreverent was going to be its main selling point. Sad to see it’s lasted this long.
Amen.
We own one. It’s hooked up to the DVD player so we can watch old DVD’s, the ones from when we were kids.

Only on rare occasion, probably mostly when we’re sick and feel too yucky to do anything but lay around but well enough to be a little bored. And it is distracting instead of just laying there and thinking about how awful you feel.
Their day is coming and guess who will have the last laugh.
They’re just godless proving the Scriptures correct again - ignorant of the Word of God.
2 Peter 3:2-4
21st Century King James Version
2 that ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,
3 knowing this first: that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts
4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

These people claim that they don’t believe in God, but that’s not true. They hate God with such fury and anger.
Guess he forgot about monasteries keeping knowledge about farming & animal husbandry, science, etc. throughout the so-called Dark ages. The Renaissance, Western Civilization, etc.
MacFarlane made his fortune ripping off other comedians, musicians, etc.
Welcome to post-Christian America.
Reason and logic restrict your actions..it tell you NO!
Atheist are really childish people that do not like being told NO!
I don’t get worrying about other people’s blasphemy.
Isn’t that between them and God?
I have a hard enough time policing my own mouth.
We cut the cord years ago.
Don’t watch anything on FOX.
Between denying them our eyeballs and carriage fees, I suspect that does far more than a phone call.
It’s a stupid show.
It tries to get a laugh at everyone and everything (and fails quite often).
I don’t see the point of protesting it - the shock value is what they want. Our God is strong enough to let some morons attempt to make fun of Him (and fail).
