I know that T&M aren't necessarily into continuity, but this past week's episode when Kyle renounces the Jewish faith and claims that there is no God...which episode was it that spoofed the year 2000 when "God" Himself came down and got asked the question about bleeding asses? That episode would've proved to Kyle that there IS a God, and therefore this episode of him saying there isn't and renouncing would technically not go with continuity.

On a lighter note, this was one of the stupidest episodes they've done in awhile.

Kyle never said there wasn't a God, he just renounced his faith.

Yeah, dumber the better. Beefcake! BEEFCAKE!

Failure is not an option. It's bundled with the software.

Actually, he *did* say there wasn't a God, and renouncing his faith pretty much means that he said it again, if not in those words.

and at the end, when Cartman has lost it all, "You *are* up there."

Yeah, but he didn't really mean it. There's something of a difference between saying "God doesn't exist" and "I don't believe in God".

Here's one for ya: How could Kyle possibly have a crisis of faith about God's existence now when God appeared in all his strange glory before all the people gathered in Las Vegas for New Year's Eve 2000 in "Are You There, God? It's Me, Jesus"? Kyle was there with the others, and even spoke to God in person.

The difference is between saying "God doesn't exist" (in which case religion of any sort is useless to you - you become an athiest) and "I don't believe in this belief system" (Catholicism, Judaism, etc. - you simply look for another belief system or stay agnostic). But after declaring that there is no God, renouncing your faith is pretty redundant.

But yeah, Kyle did suffer a crisis of faith, so his declarations on there being no God could not be taken at face value.

As for meaning it... "Then I was right. Job has all his children killed, and Michael Bay gets to keep making movies. There isn't a God." :D:D:D

Whoops. You'd have lost a case in court by now. :) First you say he didn't say it, then, when it is shown to you that he did say it, you say he didn't mean it. :D

didn't

No, that doesn't work here, because there, if you insist it's the same thing, it's just semantics ("I have no mother" "Mother, you don't exist"). :-P Here it's a matter of fact, because he did say it. Whether he meant it or not is another thing altogether.

It's like disowning your parents. "I have no mother" vs. "Mom, you don't exist". Same thing.
