Assignment #8

It is always interesting to look at the way the world and television shows portray the Christian faith.  The "Grill Chesus"  Glee episode was very interesting for the part I saw.  I was only able to see the second half, so I probably did not pick up on as much as I could of.  I noticed that at points some quotes would be right on but then shortly after it would be contradicted or would be changed into something a little off.  One of the quotes that I thought was really good was when the little lady playing chess said that God doesnt mess up and I agree with that but then you dont really feel that this is all taken to complete honesty.  So to answer your question I do agree with some of the points but many of them were a little off.  The grilled cheese thing for me as a Christian was kind of eye opening about the bizarre places that people find their faith and it gave me a reminder of the things people encounter and think in life and how they handle them and how I could better help them.  One final point that I was noticed as a Christian watching it was that it seemed like Kurt was turned off to Christianity because of the way Christians treated him because he was gay. I dont agree that being gay is right in any way but I think that being gay is a sin that they struggle with just like any other sin that people struggle with, and i think that if they come to get help we should help them break away from their sin.  So, I think that I would have noticed more if I had been an avid Glee watcher or if I had seen the whole show, but there were a few things about the way they portrayed Christianity and also things this secular show showed me about things we do as Christians that may need to change.
