[@rturae]

The fact that Burns in church I think alone is hilarious enough

[@Simp_Zone]

True, especially since he's literally satan. Or was that flanders?? Meh!

[@TinyDeskEngineer]

Especially considering he said himself religion was one of the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business. Although I guess considering how he's _already_ succeeded in business, there's not much reason for him to continue that.

[@stpat7614]

There's no end of sociopaths in church. For some, church is their profession.

[@ShadowtheYouTuber523]

​Well in which episode did he say this? This clip is from $pringfield so if he said that in an episode before this, he must've been joking about that one or forgot one of the demons and randomly said religion as he had a brain fart.

That's how well made characters are supposed to be. Complicated. Then you really don't know whats going to happen next, and that's how people really are. That's the big problem across the entire writing industry, not just new Simpsons. So many characters have to fit perfectly into their type-casted mold.

Saw anime “Gabriel Dropout” a while back. It is about this idealistic sweet blonde angel going to school. One night she hears an online commercial for an MMORPG. She created a character & is sucked in and after ONE microtransaction becomes a slacker & online gamer, nearly a complete dropout. A warning: she is in the midst of a game & just remembered she had some extra allowance. It is made to sound intense, for effect, but remember it is a comedy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqbCdoGEa7x7o5osi=KuPqDCu208TXv6GR
