Jesus Freaks

Glee turns towards Jesus this week. This week's episode was a mix of sadness and stupidity. Finn prays to a grilled cheesus while Kurt's father lies dying in a hospital bed. First lets tackle Finn. Finn hasn't a brain cell in his head for praying to a grilled cheese sandwhich. But not only that, he was praying for things like them winning the football, touching Rachel's breasts, and becoming quarterback again. Like three wishes, all his requests were granted, but the last one hurts a fellow player. Side note: Did anyone find it hsteryical Finn was pushing Artie down the field in his wheelchair? That cannot be legal. Plus who is going to hit a kid in a wheelchair? Anyway, Finn's religious experience is based solely on getting those three things from a grilled cheese sandwhich. After he realizes that its just a sandwhich, he questions his faith. I think that is pretty ridiculous that because he realizes his sandwhich is just a sandwhich, he is going to question the existence of God. That boy didn't have faith to begin with.

Now to Kurt. His story was so sad this week. A friend of mine and I both text each other constantly during the show (we don't have enough sense to watch it together) and we looked at Kurt's behavior differently through this episode. I would love to know your take on this. He saw that Kurt was being a jerk towards his friends for trying to stop their efforts. I, on the other hand, understand Kurt. When you are hurting, you are not suppose to act rational. Controling their prayers over his father was the only control Kurt had at the time. Also, in my opinion, when something like this happens, you do question why God would let something like this happen. I am a christian, but it honestly hurts more when people say God will take of it when, in your mind, God let it happen in the first place. That may be over-thinking this episode, but from personal experience, I understand Kurt's behavior.
Also, I want briefly to touch on Sue and her sister. Out of the whole episode, the moment when her sister asked Sue if she could pray for her (Sue). Sue's relationship with her sister is so touching and it makes me like Sue even more.
Finally, I was much more impressed with the music this week. Mercedes' two songs were so good. They touched my heart and all day today I was singing "One of Us." Much better Glee.
