Sex, Violence, and the Word of God

Lawmakers Decry Christian Film's PG Rating

"This incident raises the disquieting possibility that the MPAA considers exposure to Christian themes more dangerous for children than exposure to gratuitous sex and violence," Blunt said in a letter to MPAA Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dan Glickman.

Surely, you can imagine the look on my face when I read that quote; head cocked to one side, eyes blinking, staring in disbelief at the screen while trying my best to make some sense of what could possibly be different about the sex and ultra-violence in the Bible -- to which children are forcibly exposed from before they're even old enough to walk and talk -- and anything that Hollywood has managed to produce. And I still can't come up with any logical reasoning behind that quote. Religious Conservatives are brainless ass-hats incapable of intelligent behavior or thought. Not that they don't sometimes do something that appears intelligent. It happens. But not by design. Any connection between intelligence and religious conservatism is purely coincidental.

Update: I just realized that, to Religious Conservatives, apparently PG movies contain gratuitous sex and violence. More proof of the ridiculous lengths to which they'll go, just for the opportunity to grandstand in the name of the ultimate non-sequitur, Christian morality.
