The ironic thing is that Matt and Trey don't hate religion and have said so in several interviews.
Seriously. Punching down and no bad tactics, only bad targets is the most asinine thing I ever heard. Some of the greatest comedians of the last 70 years would not have been able to get work if people like Blob here were in control of clubs and theaters.
Yeah, their Mormon episode poked fun at Mormonism, but it was a rather positive look at Mormons. The message of the episode was "Yeah, we think this religion is dumb, but if it works for you and doesn't hurt anyone, then who cares?". They were much less merciful with Scientology, but there is nothing good about that greedy cult.
Most recently, Trey and Matt have said they'll keep doing South Park until Comedy Central cancels them. Considering that it's still one of the channel's highest rated shows, I don't see a cancellation coming on the horizon anytime soon. Poor Bob is just going to have to live with this show continuing to exist, which is hurting him, somehow.
