WATCH: ‘Young Sheldon’ Sexualizes Teenage Baptism

Paul Bois

A recent episode of “The Big Bang Theory” spinoff “Young Sheldon” featured the sexualization of a teenage baptism.

The episode focused on a recurring story surrounding Sheldon’s older brother Georgie and his crush on a fellow student named Veronica who becomes a Christian mid-way through his courting session. To keep close with Veronica, Georgie does all sorts of Christian activity with no sincerity whatsoever, including attending his mom’s Bible study and accompanying them to church. At one point in the episode, as the three give their prayers up to the Almighty, Georgie asks God to give him Veronica in exchange for his allegiance. Transcript provided by Media Research Center:
