'Living Biblically' Episode 2 tackles false idols and the evils of social media

After making a splash with its premiere, CBS debuted episode 2 of its bold comedy about religion, “Living Biblically.” This week, Chip tackled the concept of false idols when he recognized an upsetting attachment to his own cell phone.

The episode opens with Chip on his phone watching funny videos of goats getting scared. His wife, Leslie, walks in and laments that she missed the window to get tickets to see Beyonce. In a conversation that many couples have likely had, he mentions that he doesn’t understand the appeal of Beyonce. This sends Leslie into a sarcastic frenzy.

“She’s a goddess and I worship her,” she says, prompting Chip to note that she may be falling victim to false idol worship.

The next day, Chip finds himself at the bar talking to his “God Squad,” Father Gene and Rabbi Gil. They suggest that, before he high roads Leslie over her affection for the singer, he should look at his own life and determine if he worships any false idols himself. It quickly becomes apparent that Chip has an unnatural attachment to his phone, something he notices everyone else at the bar is stricken with too.
