Pat Boone accuses 'Saturday Night Live' of anti-Christian bias | The Tylt
Actor-singer Pat Boone is not happy with the recent "Saturday Night Live" parody of his latest movie, "God’s Not Dead 2."
In Boone's film, a public school teacher is persecuted for answering a student’s question about Jesus. In the "SNL" parody, a trailer for a movie titled "God is a Boob Man," a Christian woman is taken to court by a gay couple and a Jewish ACLU lawyer for refusing to declare that “God is gay.” Boone called the skit "diabolical" and accused "SNL" of "taking Satan’s side."
Did Saturday Night Live go too far in ridiculing Christian persecution? Or does Pat Boone need to lighten up and take a joke?
Also, Boone blasted NBC and "SNL" for allegedly disrespecting Christians while he deferred to Muslims, saying “There’s nothing sacred at 'SNL'—except maybe the words ‘Mohammad’ or ‘Allah.’"
What do you think?

Free speech is a fundamental right, even if it offends.
@FoxNews Boone needs to calm down. It's comedy. Comic relief is everyone's right. No matter the subject. Religion is not immune.

Offended Christians argue that their faith is too often targeted for ridicule.
@BreitbartNews It's easy to be "free speech" when slamming Christians.

Pat Boone freaking out about anti-Christian persecution just underscores the "SNL" skit's point.
This SNL parody of those "Christians are the most persecuted group in America" movies is perfection: https://t.co/5KeccMm2Nd

Does "SNL" pillory all faiths equally?
@ericmetaxas Big fan of SNL since late 70s but I agree with Pat. It's become increasingly raunchy and anti-Christian. Done with it.
