    Overall, this was a perfect AD episode and should be viewed by any fan of the show. I'm not sure which plot I like better.

    After a church sermon, Stan realizes that he has no one to hang out with. After praying for a friend, he meets Brett, another ultra-conservative who is virtually identical to Stan. They do everything together, from destroying children's toy sailboats with Stan's paddleboat to cutting their palms, shaking hands, and getting HIV tested. However, their perfect friendship hits a snag when Stan discovers that Brett does not believe in God. Any attempts to convince Brett about God's existence only sour the relationship. Not wanting Brett's soul to burn in Hell due to his system of beliefs, Stan decides to make his life miserable, since people tend to look to God for guidance during a crisis. However, after Stan ruins everything he lived for, Brett attempts to commit suicide by jumping off a building. He just barely makes it out alive and, while he is in a coma at the hospital, Stan prays to God that if He brings him back, he will accept Brett's views the way they are. When Brett does recover, Brett claims he had a near-death experience and met God, declaring he is now a believer; however, he then says he was sent to Hell for attempting suicide, and that Satan promised to revive him if he helped spread the word of the Devil. Although initially appalled by this, Stan decides to make good on his word to God and proudly walks off with his friend.

    Meanwhile, for petty revenge after Steve starts gloating of how special he is, Roger convinces Steve that he has been accepted to Hogwarts. Roger directs him to an old shack to embarrass him, only to discover it actually a Meth Lab. Nevertheless, Steve is still convinced it is Hogwarts (with the Drug dealers as his professors), and Roger decides to use Steve in a scam to make money off the Drug dealers (Steve thinks it is Potions). However, when the Steve accidentally brings home some "homework", the Drug dealers angrily arrive and attack Roger. Roger, who gets a faceful of a Methamphetamine powder, goes berserk and kills them all after a drawn-out gun battle, though Steve, convinced by Roger that his "professors" were in fact Death Eaters in disguise, thinks he defeated them since his glasses were broken during the scuffle.moreless

    This episode is pretty good, and as an atheist I found Stan's approach particularly hilarious as he tries to push his beliefs on to his new friend, and in the end accepts his friend when he decides to become a Satanist. Of course it seemed to get more absurd, but in the end it's all Stan's fault that it happened anyway.

    As for Steve's gullibility in becoming a cocaine or "potion" maker, that wasn't quite as good, but was hilarious as, in true AD fashion, Roger's revenge plan gets way out of hand and a gunfight destroys the house for what seems like the hundredth time, and Steve still being stupid enough to believe he was learning to become a wizard.

    The whole episode is ridiculous and very funny, with Stan pushing his beliefs, and Steve pushing his dope.moreless

    This episode ie extremely funny and has my favorite gun fight in cartoon history. Some hillarious parts are when Stan called the lab guys to see if that machine that beams the image of the Cristain God inside someone's head and then you see them and a guys head is off and when Bret's wife said that someone beamed some expeirimental beams in my head and suddenly i'm gay and then Stan looks guilty. Also the leader of drug dealers had some great lines like you do not freakin ask where we got this from. Also the gun fight was incredible and it was so funny when Steve thought he was perforing spells and defeating the drug dealers even though Roger is clearly in a gun fight with them. Overall because of two equally great storylines is why this is tied for my favorite episode.moreless
