During the turn-of-tables scene where Apu is holding up Snake, at one point I am pretty sure that Apu invokes the name of one of the Hindu Gods as "Vishnu the Destroyer."

In Hindu tradition, Shiva is the Destroyer while Vishnu maintains life.

I wonder if this is a case of the writers getting it wrong, or if it is a case of them getting it wrong on purpose to expose Apu's lack of knowledge of his own religion and culture. --- Synchronet 3.15a-Linux NewsLink 1.92-mlp

I'm sure I've heard this line in the show before, but I thought in reruns.

With Amazing Race at the same time as The Simpsons, I'm not seeing the latter much, which would seem to eliminate a recent episode.

I suspect they do it deliberately, I'm not sure why. They seem to keep religion serious, except when they are making fun. How many shows have featured 3 religions to a fairly large amount, plus Islam to a much lesser amount?

I was thinking Jewish, Hinduism and then whatever Reverend Lovejoy is.

I didn't name the third since I have no idea what it is specifically, and didn't really know how to group it, Protestant or Anglican or something, likely an offshoot of the Church of England that came about when Henry the 8th needed a divorce, so he started a new religion that was kind of catholic but made him the head and allowed divorce, and then that splintered.

Don't ask me, my great, great grandmother married the Reverend Mr. Black (just like the Kingston Trio song, but not the same guy), and he was in that sort of group, but I'd have to look it up to state which one.

But I also forgot Buddhism, but I'm not sure that's really been dealt with as much as Hinduism, other than that episode where Lisa goes hunting for a new religion.
