It seemed very weird that after 60 minutes of ABC Jesus-bashing, featuring men in Roman collars expressing a genuine desire that Jesus had been knocking boots so that Christianity can be rid of “unhealthy sexual attitudes,” ABC’s “Monday Night Football” immediately followed with an opening skit with actor Christopher Lloyd (remember him as “Rev. Jim” on “Taxi”?) in a Roman collar jokingly announcing in a mock Boston church that the New England Patriots were “our salvation” after the Red Sox folded?
