Family Guy

What would the world be like if religion never existed? There are so many creative theories that the possibilities are endless. Our ideals of right and wrong would certainly be effected. Aside from a moral guideline that we pretty much are born with, the things like sex before marriage, Gay marriage and so on would be looked at in a different light. Some possibilities are portrayed in the media, however rarely. The idea of religion never existing in the positive sense can be distasteful to some people. So the idea of a comical view can be down right offensive.

Me and my boyfriend have a very strong belief that comedy should not be censored nor should it always be nice. Some of the funniest comedians are rude and crude and even obnoxious. But the shock value in some things that are said may be the thing that makes us laugh the loudest and the hardest…or could hold some truth behind it. Which is why we love family guy so much.

The latest episode of family guy we watched was pertaining to the mulitverse theory.  The intellectual family dog, Brian, and the devious and passably gay baby, Stewie, travel the parallel universes and come across one where Christianity had never existed.

The writers of family guys take on what it would be, looked like an episode of the jetsons. Flying cars, moving sidewalks, even a program that allows dogs to ” number 2″ with out anyone having to clean it up. Stewie proseeds to tell brian all about this other universe. He explains that since christianity never existed “The dark ages of scientific ropression never occured and thus humanity is a thousand years more advanced.”

The idea of things being better of with out the ideals of religon and sin can be offensive to some who believe otherwise differently. We are all free thinkers and though this episode of family guy does hold creative ideas and humor, it doesn’t change anything. Yet people put off by this kind of humor. Should regilon be a taboo subject in comedy? before you answer this, remember George Carlon, one of the greatest comedians of all time.
