SNL was always spotty for me. In the 40 years of it's existence most of the time I was not a fan and never watched it regularly. But it had it's moments, like Mr Robertson's Neighborhood, and the time that Stevie Wonder did his spoof of the Cannon Camera spoof add. And more recently Alec Baldwin ripping Trump a new asshole.
But, long term, I have liked "Weekend Update". But I can say I never really got into Julia's running characters.
My favorite weekend late night shows were "Fridays" and "Living Color" and "Mad TV".
Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood with Eddie Murphy?

Can't say I disagree with her, but it was certainly not my way to recovery from religion, and gods and any of that crap.
Perhaps each finds their own path. Or some other meaningless platitude.

I don't personally relate to that path, Abaddon. I remember vividly when I asked my mother, in the kitchen, in my parental home, when I was....ooooooh, say, 8? dunno....anyway, I asked her if she believed in God, and she replied, "well, it's as my dear old dad used to say: No evidence my dear." So I followed up "so you're sure there's no God?" and she replied: "well, no, not 100% certain." and I said : "so you're an agnostic then?" and she replied "Yes, I suppose I am really."
Only many many years later as an adult did I learn that it is both possible and quite reasonable to be both an atheist AND an agnostic. Cool story, right? LIKE THIS POST OR DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE everybody! lolz xx
