Pat Boone: SNL’s Parody ‘Outright Sacrilege’
Saturday Night Live ruffled feathers with their blasphemous God’s Not Dead 2 parody, including those of singer-actor Pat Boone.
“This skit was outright sacrilege. They know if they did this to Muslims, they’d have to be put into the witness protection program,” Boone told The Hollywood Reporter. “There’s nothing sacred at SNL — except maybe the words ‘Mohammad’ or ‘Allah.’ They’d never take those names in vain, but when they called God a ‘boob man,’ they took his name in vain.”

The sketch, titled “God Is A Boob Man,” featured a Christian baker who refused to make a cake for a gay couple. When they threaten a lawsuit, she turns to a Jewish lawyer.
“Something can be devilishly funny, but this skit is diabolical. God has only one real enemy — Satan. Satan ridicules faith, and they’re taking Satan’s side,” Boone said. “They’re also ridiculing me and the film, telling impressionable young people not to see it because it’s ridiculous. Then they throw in that the lawyer is Jewish to make the Christian look even worse, but it’s just anti-Semitic.”
Boone is far from the only person outraged over the clip.
Charisma News columnist Michael Brown said, “SNL’s satire is really a mockery of its own, Christian-bashing position. But what else could we expect from SNL? There’s no possible way that a strongly liberal show like this could recognize that there is a real war on conservative moral values in America and that gay activism has become the principle threat to our freedoms of religion, conscience, and freedom. Soon enough, the nation will realize that this is no laughing matter.”
