"She of Little Faith"
1306 DABF02
Original Airdate: 12/16/01
Homer and Bart build a model rocket together but lose control of it as it
burns down the church. Without any money for repairs, the church decides
to sell out to corporate sponsors: mainly Mr. Burns. Lisa is appalled by
the shameless display of billboards and corporate monikers emblazoned on
the church walls and finally decides to simply quit the church for good.
She decides to test out new religions and finally happens upon a Buddhist
temple.
Lisa becomes enamored with the easy-going approach to enlightenment and
decides to take Buddhism as her new religion. Her family, worried about
her soul, try to bring her back to Christianity by subtly dropping Christian
innuendo. Lisa realizes that Buddhism allows for the celebration of all
holidays and finally comes back to her family to celebrate and simply pay
"lip-service" to the church.
