The creators take a stance against those who are too doubtful of the…

Their fear of ‘nothing’, described by Baker as being “so huge, terrible, overbearing, inevitable, and omnipresent that, once experienced, it can be never forgotten”, can never be truly alleviated, only stymied (Baker). The clean, well-lighted place serves in this capacity for the characters, but is additionally a symbol for similar places within reality. The troubles of…

Scientology, Christianity, Judaism, Agnostic, and Muslim. There isn't a religion that this show won't touch. This show in its own is a religious oppression because it tries to be a religious satire, but in a very offensive way. One of the main characters, Kyle is Jewish and his friend, Cartman, constantly makes fun of him for being a "Jew."
