The Simpsons, Sally Rooney and spirituality

I often think about a scene in The Simpsons Movie (2007): a terrifying dome comes down on Springfield, and its citizens are thrown into disarray.

In the panic, we see the church and Moe’s Bar emptying out, the congregants and the drinkers standing outside the respective buildings, looking up in horror.

A split second later, everyone from the church runs into the bar - and everyone from the bar runs into the church.
