Four days after a horrific mass shooting occurred in a small, Texas church, CBS had no qualms airing an episode of its show Young Sheldon in which the lead character vows to “destroy” the pastor of his small church in Texas.

Now, the difference is stark in that Sheldon, a nerdy science kid, isn’t talking about killing the pastor, but defeating him in a debate over whether God exists or not. But the setting and the language in the script was rather insensitive to victims affected by the church massacre. 

Hollywood prides itself in showing concern after national tragedies, as it did when two movie premiers were canceled in respect to the Las Vegas shooting victims, and a mass shooting scene was re-edited in American Horror Story: Cult. This is the standard these moralizers have set for themselves, but apparently, this scene from Young Sheldon didn’t deserve the kid gloves normally employed; most likely because it attacks the other thing they hate: God.

Hollywood is rife with angry tweets aimed at the response of “thoughts and prayers” after shooting tragedies. It’s not God whom they cry out to for mercy, but for politicians to confiscate Americans’ guns.

This isn't an argument in favor of placing trigger warnings before shows, it’s just pointing out the inconsistencies in Hollywood. Even if this doesn’t pass the smell test that they meant actual harm by not editing this scene, it still shines a light on how Hollywood loves mocking people of faith, especially when the ditsy pastor can’t come up with a single decent defense of a child’s objection to God’s existence.
