Ned Flanders

Ned Flanders is the next door neighbor of Homer Simpson.Ned is a kind man and devout Christian Who often donates to Charity and does volunteer Work,He Is a caring father to his well behaved Children Rod and Todd and has a loving Relationship With His Wife Maude.his family also does very well for  themselves financially.all of this evokes feelings of Jelaousy in Homer and several episodes feature Homer antagonizing Ned for no good reason and Ned  remaining tolerant of his behaviour.Homer once attempted to humiliate Ned by betting him that  His son Bart could be best Todd in a good tournament however due to Ned,s sensitivity the terminology for loser was changed to father of the boy who does not win,the stipulation being that the father had to Moe the lawn in his wife,s Sunday dress.after Todd and Bart threw the game Homer and Ned both had to endure the punishment though Ned didn,t seem to mind much to Homer,s frustartion.When Ned opened up his business the Leftorium  Homer Wished for it,s failure and deliberately avoided refering patrons Who could benefit to the store,this(combined With Ned,s bad skills at business) caused the  Ned to fall on hard times Which Homer promptly took advantage of to buy all of Ned,s things.however after seeing the store close down Homer became full of regret and made phone calls to bring customers over to The Leftorium and save Ned from bankruptcy.Ned remained unaware of Homer,s cruelty and thanked him for helping him when he needed it.When Homer later quit church Ned tried persuading him to come back but Homer refused.When Ned and other volunteer Fireman rescued Homer from death He realised the error of his ways and returned to church even if he continued to sleep through it.Surprisingly Homer and Ned developed a friendship after they attended a football game together and Ned helped Homer get a signed football from one of his Heroes.Homer responded by being over grateful and clingy Causing Ned to appear as if he was high When he tried getting away.later at church When Homer breathed heavily through his nostrils Ned had a rare moment of anger and snapped at Homer prompting the Churchgoers to accuse him of Jealousy however Homer came to Ned,s defense and claimed the world would be a much better place if people were to follow Ned,s example.their relationship returned to Homer antagonizing Him without any explanation. When Ned became foster parent to Bart and his sister Lisa he tried to baptize them Without the permission of their parents but that plan was foiled by Homer. In Spite of his Kindnees Ned if far from perfect as he sometimes makes disparaging comments about atheists,agnostics and any non Christians in general.When Ned,s house was destroyed Homer and other townsfolk  re built it only for it to fall down again  causing Ned to lash out at Homer,his family and everyone else there.his feelings of guilt over doing this led him to commit himself to a mental institution however he got therapy for his issues with repressing anger and was released from the institution.Homer continued being a thorn in Ned,s side such as when he was coaching a kids soccer team only for Homer to heckle him relentlessly until he quit.after Maude died in a freak-t-shirt accident caused by Homer Ned  had a brief crisis of faith in God but ultimately stayed true to his beliefs.this led to Homer showing compassion for Ned by attempting to set him up with other women to move on as well as making somewhat of an effort to console him though this may have been brought on by his feelings of guilt.
