"30 Days:" Can't we all just get along?

Tonight’s episode of “30 Days� (10 p.m. on FX) features an atheist moving in with a family of born-again Christians. Given the country’s climate, this episode may be the boldest of “30 Days�’ statements to date – and this is a series that openly seeks controversy, and, conversely, seeks to find resolution between both sides of controversies.

At this point in American history, resolute faith vs. whatever else is a possibility remains a contentious issue. Atheists assert that we have to find our own moral compasses, which are more meaningful than some moral code forced upon us, while fundamentalist Christians find such meaning in their faith that they feel that others who muddle through their troubled lives would be happier if Christ became a part of their existence, so why shouldn’t they urge their answers upon others?

This issue is so difficult that Morgan Spurlock – the series creator – offers little sense of resolution. He didn’t have this problem in the second-season premiere of the show, in which he openly admitted he skewed the truth to appear to depict a rapprochement between illegal immigrants and an anti-immigration activist.

Regardless, at this point, the best we can hope for is that those who disagree with others can at least respect others’ opinions, which is what this series aspires to and which is so obviously missing from American culture these days.

With that lofty goal in mind, here are some utterly frivolous scenarios proposed for future “30 Days� episodes:

The producer of “Girls Gone Wild� videos spends a month with radical feminists who won’t let him anywhere near alcohol.

A tee totaling Jew moves in with Mel Gibson.

A humble, soft-spoken human being spends quality time with Oliver Stone.

Bill O’Reilly and Keith Olbermann cohabitate.

Lindsay Lohan hangs with a family of sober, hard-working people who’ve never heard of the word “exhaustion.�

Paris Hilton encounters a race of individuals who prefer to keep their genitals outside the purview of cameras.

Donald Rumsfeld is introduced to the perceptions of a family from the planet Earth.

A penguin moves in with a puffin.
