Simpson's Questions

How come the First Church of Springfield is packed (except for Super Bowl Sunday, in which the sign outside reads "Where Every Sunday Is Super Sunday?") weekly given that Reverend Lovejoy is preaching sermons- in a failed attempt to be relevant, I guess -titled "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Salvation" in his monotone style?

And, how is it that he allows Ned Flanders gets to park in the "Parishoner of the Month" spot every month?

And, how did Bart and Milhouse actually get it past Reverend Lovejoy to get an 18-minute version of "In The Garden Of Eden" by I. Ron Butterfly (to Iron Butterfly's "In A Gadda Da Vida") and even get him to introduce it by saying, "From God's brain to your mouths..."?

I guess what I'm getting at today is simple: The portrayal of the Simpson's writers regarding evangelicalism and where they are right and where they are off base...or...

You can go scholarly or pop culture with this one, kids.
