Okaly Doakaly...lets put the FUN back in fundamentalism
Ned and his family have some common characteristics with the conservative, "Focus on the Family" type of culturally repressed, homeschooled family.
​
Ned is, nonetheless entertaining and funny. The minister Reverand Lovejoy is also a caracature of sorts, as he deftly searches the scriptures for the right words for the right Okaaashunn.
​
One thing that everyone has to remember is that all Christians are no more conservative than are all gay people flamers.
​
Humor is a tool that society can use to heal itself and promote tolerance without lack of respect for morality.
​
Gay marriage will probably become a societal norm within fifty years, but what will be really interesting is when they start talking about gay divorce. Everybody needs the Lord, after all!

Christianity Today accepts transgenderism

​
The Christian right has recently found themselves to be in an awkward position concerning the "The Simpsons" TV program. A recent episode (which I did not personally see) had the Simpsons hometown of Springfield legalizing and promoting homosexual marriage.
​
I just read an interesting article on Transgenderism in Christianity Today. Wonder what Ned would think of that? I doubt he would be oklie doklie with it.
