"Church is not a place for answers. It is a place for questions."
- Reverand Sikes
Desperate Housewives has stirred up controversy over the years. I have heard it used behind the pulpit as an example of our how society is slipping into moral decay. But recently the writers of ABC turned their poisoned pens towards the pride and pettiness in the pews.The background to the episode is that one of the women on Wisteria Lane, Lynette Scavo, has just battled back from cancer and survived a tornado where a neighbor of her's had died. This opens her up asking some of the BIG questions about life. She decides she might find some answers in church, although she has no history in a house with a steeple.
The 11 minutes of this clip may be fiction, but I dare you to watch it and not flinch.
