I have long been known among my religious friends as a person who doesn’t really like the Veggie Tales videos all the much.  To me the represent an interesting contradiction of which I may blog on later.

But they are a cherished and beloved form of entertainment to many, and one that promotes biblical values.

IN that regard I respect them.  I may mock them a bit saying things like "I love Veggie Tales: With a good Ranch dressing" but that is all in fun, more to tweak the noses of my friends then really a dislike if Larry.

But there is not mistaking what they are.  They are and always have been a religious expression.  They have always heavily promoted Evangelical Christianity.

NBC decided to capitalize on the 50 million in video sales that the Veggie’s have to their credit, and brought them on to mainstream…sort of.

But the took them and they boiled and sanitized them into a mushy meaningless mess.  They removed much of the references to God.
