I like the superhero Jesus on South Park, myself.

I've not seen enough of that one to comment. I haven't been watching South Park very long. I never realized how good it is. I figured it was just a potty-mouthed cartoon.

In Book of David, Jesus is as much a story-telling device, like the next door neighbor in Home Improvement. It gives us a chance to find out what's on the protagonist's mind. If you think of the program as a TV show rather than a religious experience, that makes sense.

I thought this was a good point about the show.

""The Book of Daniel" doesn't disparage Bible-believing Christians. Instead, it demonstrates the difficulty of turning serious religion into entertainment. Religion can be played as sentimental, spooky or satire, but doing it straight — think "ER" repotted in a synagogue — is hard to pull off."
