Trivia
This was the first episode where the animation was produced by Film Roman Productions. Up until this point, Film Roman Productions had mostly worked on Garfield and Friends (1988) and Bobby's World (1990) episodes, and were not used to the speed with which this series was produced. However, they quickly adjusted. Film Roman Productions went on to do the animation for the rest of the series, including The Simpsons Movie (2007), up to Season 28's Havana Wild Weekend (2016). Previously, the animation was produced by Klasky-Csupo, and as of 2016 is produced at Fox Television Animation. (Now 20th Television Animation)

Goofs
When we see God he has five fingers for the majority of the episode, but in the last scene, where Homer questions the meaning of life, God only has four fingers.

Quotes
Rev. Lovejoy: No Homer, God didn't burn your house down, but he was working in the hearts of your friends be they Christian, Jew, or... miscellaneous.
Apu: Hindu. There are seven hundred million of us.
Rev. Lovejoy: Aww, that's super.

This is one of the funniest episodes of the show but it has a terrible message. So I don't know. Wish that these great character interactions worked toward a better overall package.
