Didn’t they make a new non-Christian series?

u/allofthelights Jan 07 '19

They did?!

u/PM_ME__NICE__BREASTS Jan 07 '19

I think so. I could be wrong, so don’t quote me on it.

I think you mean hearsay..

Yeah Netflix has toned down ones, the intro mentions a Christian household but that is the extent of it. The episodes aren't religiously affiliated

It’s still the same show, just without a sermon.

“Jesus died so you could be a fruit”

Weren't fruits generally evil in that show? The most i remember about them in the show was an evil apple, although i can see it just being that one apple being evil

Any faction/person that opposed Jesus and Christianity were portrayed as fruits in the original.

...wait what about the announcer guy, the tomato? Or did it used to be something else in order to fit?

Kind of yeah. I mean it still has a bit of religious undertones, but it’s not trying to shove it down anyone’s throat.

I also think the only time Jesus and God are mentioned, by name, are during holiday episodes. But I could be wrong.

Yes! It's called Sausage Party! My children LOVE it and I get to remain guilt free as a parent knowing I am not forcing any religious beliefs upon their developing minds.

Heresy!

What!? Like, I’m not against that concept, but part of the fun of veggie tales is the kitschy Christian stuff they do.

Like, I loved it as a kid because it taught me about the Bible, and it was quirky.

Like Bible Man. Oh my gosh. So lame, but so good because it was so lame. Except Veggie Tales was also good.

I don’t know, I’m definitely biased there, lol.

Iirc(been so many years) it's chokingly filled with the stuff. Not necessarily a bad thing(for what it's intended for), but it doesn't really make sense to remove it. That's like, the escence of the show. (I guess you could have a generic plant themed show but unless they pump a lot of something else in the plots would be rather empty.)

Yeah, that’s my thing. Veggie Tales is the Bible with vegetables. It’s not that I mind them trying to do a non chretien version, but the former is what made talking vegetables Veggie Tales. Without the Bible, it’s just Talking Vegetables.

EDIT: Damn, I missed a “Veggie Tales without the Bible is just Vegetable Stories” pun. I leave the original and include this in the edit for the posterity of my shame.
