You see, a few years back I used to LOVE Seth Macfarlane. I thought he was hilarious. Then, one day he took his anti-religious jokes too far in his TV shows. It just became unfunny to me. I have absolutely no qualms with people having their own choice of religion or no religion, whatever it may be, but I also like to have the same choice.
The thing is, I don't like to have things shoved down my throat. Especially when it's something that reaches such a large audience like a television show because then people blankly take it in without even noticing that they are being forcefed anti religion semantics. I'm not one to take such matters lightly. A few jokes here and there I can let slide but when it is EVERY FUCKING EPISODE, it grows old. You can be funny, without bringing up religion. I understand that he is an atheist and therefore doesn't like religion, but he's also said that he doesn't have a problem with religious people, if that's the case, then keep religion out of your humor, dude. I thought his shit (sans religious jokes) was pretty effing witty, but now, I think he's tired.
I don't support him. I can't support him. I'm not even religious! I'm spiritual. I don't believe in organized religion. I believe in my own special bond with God that can't be broken but I just can't support some a-hole who makes fun of religion because it just seems wrong to me. I can't handle it. Therefore, I won't be watching Ted or anything that Seth Macfarlane is associated with. It's kind of the same concept with Tom Cruise, I don't support him because I think he's an idiot. Seth Macfarlane is kind of in that same category.
