Is "Dr. Archie Morris," the character on ER an atheist?

NBC Sermonizes Against Chastity

Last night (Thursday) on NBC’s “ER,” the character of Hope Bobeck, who is defined as a Christian, abruptly decides that she should enter a sexual relationship with an atheist character.

“Chastity has always been overrated,” she states as she tells Dr. Archie Morris that they should meet for dinner and drinks and then “see what happens.” The doctor did determine not to join her for this tryst, but who knows what will happen in future episodes. The point here is that the portrayal is of a Christian young lady who suddenly determines that the Bible’s plan for sexuality is wrong.

2. Chastity is over-rated, and Atheists rock in the sack.

One of the smartest moves she has ever made.
