Netflix has caused controversy by streaming a “comedy” special that depicts Jesus as a homosexual and his mother as God’s pot-smoking mistress. This comes to us from a “comedy” group with a history of sacrilegious content of this sort, including, reportedly, a skit that portrays Christ as a homicidal sadist.
There is part of me that thinks we should ignore this idiocy and go on with our day. It’s so utterly stupid and witless — just provocation for provocation’s sake — that I fear we dignify it by responding with exactly the outrage that the creators of the special were banking on. In the end, what they’ve produced is the intellectual equivalent of making a fart noise in our faces. Why pay it the respect of getting angry about it?
