Synopsis

Bart, Homer, and Milhouse start to build model rockets. After two rockets explode before they even lift-off, Homer hires his nerdy college roommates, Gary, Doug, and Benjamin, to build a super-rocket. Homer even has Nibbles, the school hamster, pilot it. The lift-off goes as planned, but the rocket soon goes off course. After Nibbles ejects himself, the out-of-control rocket crashes and blows up the church. To rebuild the church, Mr. Burns sells ad-space. When the church is finished, it is filled with ads piled among ads. Rev. Lovejoy begins advertising instead of sermons. Disgusted with the corruption, Lisa leaves. At home, she decides to find a new religion. While walking through town, Lisa finds a Buddhist temple. With some advice from members Lenny, Carl, and actor Richard Gere, Lisa becomes a buddhist. The news shocks the Simpsons family (particularly Marge) and the members of the Church Council (Lovejoy, Kearney, Agnes Skinner, Ned Flanders, Jasper, and Marge). Marge tries to bribe her back with lunch desserts, but fails. The Church Council decides to bribe back Lisa with Christmas. Just when it seems they are going to succeed, Lisa finds out and runs away. Returning to the Buddist temple, Gere tells Lisa that Buddhists repsect diversity among religions. Lisa goes back home and tells her family that she will only pay lip service to the church. Soon afterwards, Lisa demands where her pony is (earlier, Homer said they were giving her a pony which was actually Ralph and Milhouse).

Quotes

  • (after Homer blows up the church)
    Marge: This is the worst thing you've ever done!
    Homer: You say that so much it's lost all meaning.
  • Lisa: (praying) Lord, I'm not turning my back on you. I just need to find a temple that's free of corruption.
    Marge: (off-camera, trying to sound like God) Why do you have to be so different, always making a big deal out of eeeeeeeeeeverything? Oooooooooo...
    Lisa: Mom, I know it's you! I can't believe you're eavesdropping on my prayers.
    Marge: Oh, honey, I'm worried about your soul. I want at least one member of this family to go to Heaven.
    Lisa: I still believe in God. I just think there's another path to him or her.
    Marge: Her?! (looking upward) Uh, she's just kidding Mr. Lord.
