But they have the problem that "The Simpsons" also has a long history of a fairly positive display of Christianity. Most notably, the Simpson's neighbor Ned Flanders.
Positive? Ned Flanders' character is designed to be mocked, not modeled after.
I am aiming for a discussion of my view that Ned Flanders is a good representation of what a "good Christian" is.
No, it's satire. If anything, it's condescending.
