God, I hate "Christians."
Another show just came up on SciFi Channel saying it was edited for "content." I know it wasn't for blood and gore, but for either a "bad word" or nudity.

Will those people please stop messing with entertainment? Isn't there something more important like war and government sanctioned killing?

1. Boobs kill
That's the only thing I can discern from all of it. The sight of a woman's boob will somehow hurt me or society, whether it's breastfeeding a baby, or bouncing up and down all perky in a sci-fi slasher movie.

2. I'm A Christian & I Like Bad Words, Nudity, Swearing, Partying, etc.
Does that mean I'm bad? Lots of so-called Christians piss me off, but the real ones don't.

6. Agreed! I think that most thinking people try to avoid putting
their mores on others.

8. Ah but you're a Christian
Not a "Christian"...a subtle but important difference no?

13. How about restricting it to prudes and busybodies?
That'll let the sane Christians off the hook.

5. Hate is unnecessary and accomplishes nothing
I don't like organized religion in general...but if we hate it makes us look just as bad as those who hold beliefs based on weaknesses...i.e. religious people.

It wouldn't have made for much of a discussion?

12. They love viiolence on TV - guts ripped out but don't show a penis
somehow they think sex is filthy you don't see people's 'naughty bits' on TV here. Yet, they expose everyone to violence, guns etc

14. Let's not "hate" religious groups. Focus your ire on the nutcases.
After all, we don't want to be like Pope Hitlerjugend, do we?

15. That's part of the reason I put the word "christians" in quotes.
