   I'm sure I've heard this line in the show before, but I thought in reruns.   
      
   With Amazing Race at the same time as The Simpsons, I'm not seeing the   
   latter much, which would seem to eliminate a recent episode.   
      
   I suspect they do it deliberately, I'm not sure why. They seem to keep   
   religion serious, except when they are making fun.  How many shows have   
   featured 3 religions to a fairly large amount, plus Islam to a much   
   lesser amount?
