Goodbye to The Office

Dear Readers,

Last night I watched the series finale of The Office.  I have now watched every single episode.  It was funny.  All of the shows were funny and I liked it.  It's a pretty popular show, so I guess a lot of people agree with me. 

There were some subliminal liberal messages in there.  In fact, some of the messages weren't merely subliminal, they were liminal.  That is to say, the messages were in your face. 

Here are three liberal lessons I picked up on from The Office:

1. Being gay is A-okay!   Oscar was often portrayed as one of the most level-headed, clear thinking people in the Office, and yet he was staunchly homosexual.

2. Fornication is like a big vacation!  Let's see... Michael Scott and Holly Flax, Dwight and Angela, Jim and Pam, Ryan and Kelly... every single one of these couples fornicated.  And all the viewers are just supposed sit there and watch it, with approving eyes!  For shame!

3. Christians are hyper-judgmental hypocrites.  Angela was the only outspoken Christian on the show, and for the most part she was a jerk.  She was dating Dwight and Andy at the same time!  And she did a lot of other slimy stuff.

But actually, there were two times I remember when Christianity was put in a very good light.  The first one was the time, just a few episodes ago in fact, where Jim and Pam fell back in love.  In the last scene, there is a flashback to their wedding day, where they got married in a Church, which looked like an Episcopalian Church or one of those liberal lukewarm denominations, but the minister quoted some scripture, from 1 Corinthians chapter 13, verse 13 "And now these three things remain, faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is love."  What a wonderful, uplifting ending to an episode that was.  Jim and Pam, a Christian monogamous couple, get inspired by Scripture to honor their marital vows, and to fall back in love.  How heart-warming. I love Jim and Pam.  And I'm so glad that they love each other, and that they have two wonderful daughters.

The second time Christianity is put in a good light is when... um... I don't remember the episode exactly, maybe it was when Jim and Pam take their baby daughter Cici to get christened at their church, and somehow a lot of the people from the Office get on board a bus bound for Mexico with a bunch of youthful missionaries.  The young Christians are going to build a school for disadvantaged children or something like that.  Good job, Office writers, for portraying Christianity so positively.  Though, overall, I think the show guides viewers down the dark path of political liberalism and secular humanism.

But you know what?  I also learned some positive lessons:

Appreciate the little things.

Learn how to dance and have a good time.

Pulling pranks is funny.

The Office is funny and I like it.

Michael Scott is sooooooo funny!

It's nice to have a show to watch with your wife and laugh and laugh and laugh.

Sincerely,
