As a Christian and a young playwright, I struggled with how to write
about Christians in a comedy. What would people say if I made fun of
them? What if I point out the ironies and contradictions of the
church, or a Christian character? Now, of course, I know the answer:
it doesn’t matter. My job, as a comedian, was not to protect a certain
class of people (Christians, or Climate Changers, or whoever). My job
was to write things that were true, and because they were true, they
were funny. We just happen not to see too many satires and jokes about
Global Warming because too many of the people who write jokes believe
in the stuff. Source
