What a simplistic and idiotic way of seeing religion...
6 February 2020
You know Macfarlane and his position about religion and faith. This episode was pretty much expected to come anyway since is the creator and a writer of the series. Still you can expect that someone that is so critic about the role of religion on culture and society will be more informed about what he is criticizing. The whole idea that one of the crew members will be become some sort of "God" in a society after 5 minutes of "intervene" or "interact" with someone of that society is totally idiotic. Maybe because the episode is short-timed, the way the series wants to present how religion can be "so bad" for human kind development is so simplistic that actually gives any fundamentalist a good tool to criticize liberals, showing the poor knowledge about how religion has been developing in the world in the last 3500 years. This episode just does the opposite of what it wants to achieve and actually it serves for the purposes of those who wants to control the faith of people for their own obscure interests. The last part of the episode is not better but worst, if you think Earth is cool as it was before the humans changed the shape of the Earth landscapes, you will not like what you'll see. Once again because of their own arrogance liberals like MacFarlane are the worst enemies of science and knowledge, showing how poor is their comprehension of history. Anyway this episode closed a poor season with a lot of pseudo-science stuff that actually would make any scientist to laugh. I heard the second season is better, I hope so.

Do not forget to downlike this!! I know most watchers of this show are liberals and they are not so open to criticism and they pretend to be. They are fundamentalist but in the other side of the ideological spectrum.
