Not All Dogs Go to Heaven

What happened to Family Guy? It USED to be funny. Now, it's just a platform for Seth Macfarlane to voice his beliefs and opinions in a highly-biased way. This episode was just terrible; it was so preachy! It stomped on Christian beliefs and just vehemently denied there is a God, and not in a satirical, hey-he-actually-has-a-point way. It just straight up threw Seth's personal beliefs into the audience's face and said that anyone who believed otherwise is an idiot. And I thought Seth Macfarlane said he was open-minded. Does this not suggest he is more judgmental and biased than most of the "religious crackpots" he slams? He has moved way beyond clever social commentary and satire into straight-up bashing.

I guarantee that a huge portion of the Family Guy audience is Christian, and I am sure that this episode just succeeded in alienating most of those viewers. However, this episode is not just an attack on Christianity. Because it asserts that ANYONE who believes in a God is an idiot, Macfarlane just ostracized every Jew, Muslim, Hindu, and other agnostic who watches his show. Stupid move on his, and Fox's part. Who's left to watch? Just a handful of fellow atheists. By all means, tell me I suck or should just go to hell for being "too stupid and narrow-minded" for this comment, but I can't be the only person turned off of Family Guy because of this episode, religious or not.

If you're gonna hit a certain belief system or lifestyle hard, why not goad everyone equally? Why the hell can this episode air when "Wish Upon a Weinstein", which poked fun at the Jewish culture, was never allowed to be broadcast with the rest of its original season? And, according to the DVD commentary, that episode was written by Jewish staff AND approved by local rabbis. Notice how the most offensive "jokes" are always aimed at Christianity/conservatives/Republicans/any non-liberal, non-Democrat and not Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, etc? Yet if Christians/conservatives/etc. protest, they are considered "close-minded", "racist", and "stupid" for protesting. Why is this strange reverse discrimination allowed?

I do think that most of Family Guy's Christianity/Jewish/Muslim/religious jokes are funny and usually have valid points. Not this travesty. It was just a direct attack, and the weak "jokes" that attempt to cover this fact up do nothing to suggest that this episode is just a silly social commentary.

Seth Macfarlane, quit using your show to beat others over the head with your personal beliefs! You obviously ridicule others for doing just that; it's hypocritical! Go back to clever social commentary. I miss my awesome Family Guy!

In this episode, Brian says he's an atheist. Apparently everyone is shocked by that... (I guess no one else is an atheist) So Brian becomes a hated person after Meg tells everyone about it. Then Brian pretends to not be an atheist and Meg takes him to a book burning. And then Brian tells Meg there is no god because Meg is ugly. That is a horrible thing. And if that's not bad enough, Meg believes Brian! Brian is just a jerk here and he never gets punished for saying what he said. Even without that scene, I would still dislike the episode, but since they added in that scene, it just made me give this episode a 1/10.

Seriously this has to be the most preachy thing since 'annoying' Jehovah Witnesses.

I though athiests hate preachy nonsense, wow I never realised how hypocritical they were until seeing this, and the good reviews.

Let's bring South Park in the situation, yeah they like some fun at RELIGION sometimes, and fair enuf you know Matt and trey themselves said u gotta make fun of all it's not fair it's only one.

Not really the same with family guy I wonder if there was an athiest alternative to this episode, I mean in the sense that they make fun of atheists, 'oh you belive monkey came into man, why is monkey still here??? Haha! Oh you don't belive in God? But you belive in daddy Big Bang, hahaha what about conservation of energy' you see how dumb it can sound?

Nothing against Seth just this episode was trash along with season 7 (70% wasboring 30% was decent)

I can almost see everyones point. It IS kind of offensive. And it would be easier to take if he wouldn't take his views so seriously. Having said that, I still crack up when I watch it.

But thats the main problem with the left. They are so use of making fun of the right that they think they are the intellectual be all end alls in the country. Not so.

They need to take a page from the middle aged white guy play book and laugh at themselves once in awhile. Does he read this? Not likely. But it wouldn't hurt.

And he does make fun of atheists. Brian admits to believing JUST to get a drink.

Fun seeing the star trek people in it. I'd never watched ST TNG before this year so this was funnier after the other times I've seen this episode. More fun though, is reading the people giving it low stars because they're offended by it. Grow up kids
