I love this show, actually I like this show, but I love the cast, so I look forward to it every Sunday. Last week's episode was my favorite episode since the very first episode. It was thrilling, answered questions and moved the story forward. This week's episode was unnecessarily insulting to Christianity and inserted too many flashbacks and cutaways to the present just when the plot was advancing in both timelines. Why does Hollywood have such a hard-on for Christians? I knew it was too good to be true that the devout Christian teen girl was written in a respectful manner for Episodes One to Seven. That ended tonight. In the opening scene, a lifeguard saves her life at a Christian summer camp, mockingly called Lady Magdalene. Really? She looks up at the lifeguard, his cross dangling from his chain, and says "You saved me", and he responds The Lord saved her. Come on! I went to a Christian summer camp and the lifeguards never wore crosses and one saved my little Brother who was being held under by a little girl who couldn't swim (my Brother could swim), and when we all thanked him, he responded like a normal human being. At the end of the episode, this same Christian girl tries to fly a charter plane to get help. It's her "purpose" she says, so she flies off and as the plane catches fire, she just sits there with her cross as if she's accepted this as The Lord's plan for her. What?! She doesn't kick or fight her way out of a window to fall to the water below. Again, what?! Christians believe God gives us freewill. We wouldn't just sit there and burn alive and then explode! There is a certain religion that does believe in martyrdom, and believes being a martyr is a sacrifice that will land you in Heaven with dozens of virgins as your reward, but Hollywood would never dare to mock that religion. While Christianity is mocked and shown in a negative light, an affair (Shauna's) is romanticized and justified. Call me crazy but if your Husband is cheating on you, I think you should file for divorce and move on from the cheating loser, not disrespect your body and vows like him, because now, you're no better than him. Just two cheating losers.
