I know that I haven't written recently but here we go:
I am currently watching a Simpsons episode (Lisa &the 8th Commandment) and realised how many hidden morales are shown from an atheist standpoint. It occured to me that the old episodes were very dangerous to show if somebody were to look through the actual plot for America in the 20th century or even in the 21st.
In the heart of Middle America where the Bible rules, a Christian will typically be removed from society due to their lack to need to know much about the world around them as they see themselves as such a small part of it. This naivety and need not to question the things behind what is said is what allows The Simpsons to be what it is today.
In the particular episode that I am watching, we see the use of Hell as a tool to terrify children into Christianity. It shows how people are forced into Christianity because their own conscience doesn't enable them to 'sin' because of their utter fear of Hell.
I haven't much more to say but thanks for reading and good night.
