Pat Boone Slams ‘SNL’ Parody Of ‘God’s Not Dead 2’

Saturday Night Live did a parody of Pat Boone‘s latest movie – God’s Not Dead 2 – and the Christian actor is not amused.

‘God Is A Boob Man’

God’s Not Dead 2 stars Melissa Joan Hart as a high school teacher, and follows her as she defends her faith in a society that no longer believes in god. SNL‘s parody sketch “God Is A Boob Man” features Vanessa Bayer as a baker who refuses to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple. When she won’t admit that god is gay, they take her to court. Holding her ground in court, she defiantly yells, “God is a boob man!”

While the parody plays on the over the top drama of the God’s Not Dead  2 trailer – including the theatrical court scenes dealing with faux laws – Boone, who stars in God’s Not Dead 2, does not see the humor. Instead, he’s charged that the “God Is a Boob Man” parody is “diabolical,” “sacrilege” and “anti-Semitic.”

“God has a sense of humor. Why else would he invent the porcupine and the giraffe?” Boone told The Hollywood Reporter. “Something can be devilishly funny, but this skit is diabolical. God has only one real enemy — Satan. Satan ridicules faith, and they’re taking Satan’s side. They’re also ridiculing me and the film, telling impressionable young people not to see it because it’s ridiculous. Then they throw in that the lawyer is Jewish to make the Christian look even worse, but it’s just anti-Semitic.”

 

“I won’t waste my breath demanding an apology. They don’t answer to me. They answer to the one they defame, and there are consequences,” said Boone. “This skit was outright sacrilege. They know if they did this to Muslims they’d have to be put into the witness protection program. There’s nothing sacred at SNL — except maybe the words ‘Mohammad’ or ‘Allah.’ They’d never take those names in vain, but when they called God a ‘boob man,’ they took his name in vain.”

SNL will return May 7 with Brie Larson as host and Alicia Keys as the musical guest.
