This review is from a Christian point of view. First I understand how this episode and it's plot points would be useful to the progress of the storyline of the show, but I felt like this show was more of a message to Christianity than a progression of the show. The pace was more sluggish, and this episode felt distant from the rest of the show, as if it had a different purpose. Some reviewers are saying this episode is attacking Christianity, which it does from my point of view. However I think it offends more than it makes sense. The Christian leaders shown are not realistic, at least from what I've seen in my life in a Christian family. Leaders in the church groups I've been a part of have been more genuine than the people shown in the show. There was less ignorance and saying "we don't need proof" as Ezekiel said. There is proof that backs Christian beliefs, so saying this is illogical. However, I am aware some churches/Christians are like that. And to me, an ignorant Christian is not a good example of Christ. Also the atheist arguments made in this episode were not logical. It was more bullying than real debate or actual points. The people who made these shows created the "Christians" in them, and I must say, they didn't do a very good job. However, I do understand how some of the other aspects of the episode furthered the plot, but not much did. This was about 10-25% the amount of progression that the other episodes showed. But other than this episode, I've enjoyed the show overall so far.
