Post Lisa Whelchel/"Best Sister"

How old was Lisa in "Best Sister"? How
devoted to god was she during the season
that aired "Best Sister"? The reason I'm
asking these questions is because I would have thought that Lisa would be
against the lines that were given to her
character, Blair, I mean since Lisa is
a Christian. Just wondering!

What kind of lines did she say? I remember seeing the episode a long time ago, but I can't remember the lines

Well, actually, I dont' think she would be against the lines cause it's all about doubting your faith which I'm sure a lot of Christians do and maybe even Lisa did at one point, I know I did once.Besides, in the end, "blair" kinda found that she was wrong.AT least I think she would've had to with all that her "sister" said!

There are only a few lines I can remember:
Lisa: "God is a legend"
Lisa: "I can tell you the day that he died"
Lisa: "I'm tired of all this talk about god"
Lisa: "What god?" "If there is a god then
prove it"
Just those kind of lines.

I was thinkin' the same thing. But I guess only Lisa knows the deal. I always got the impression from that episode that Blair believed in God but she was just blaming Him for the divorce. That's just my 2 cents.

Thumbs up

I have always thought the same thing. I think everyone goes through a period in their life where their faith is tested. I know I have been through several. I think that these episodes bring that to life and they were really good episodes.
