A new one!

[Goey]

I've got to ask ....

If the content was along religious lines other than Evangelical Christian, would

it have received the same rating?

What if it had a strong Catholic content? Or a strong Buddhist content?

Or a strong agnostic or atheist content ?

All have the capacity to "offend" someone or another.

I suspect the movie got its rating mostly because it was Evangelical

Christian based, which is pretty much out of favor these days with the

Hollywood crowd and quite afew other.)

Gotta protect the kids from those nasty evangelicals you know... If the kids

see this movie, they may end up getting saved, born-again, praisin Jeeeesus

and looking for miracles. Discusting! .... Hey, let have more gay sitcoms for the kids to

watch why don't we?

Actually, I suspect that the rating process is not very objective, clearly defined , or applied fairly

across the board in regards to religious content.

Not intended to slam anyone (Garth read my lips), just because I thought it was funny, and shoud mean something in light of this subject. <_<

Actually Goey, even tho' yours was a hypothetical question, my comment is still valid. You asked "If the content was along religious lines other than Evangelical Christian, would it have received the same rating?", and then included Catholic, Buddhist, agnostic, and atheist as examples of the different contents as part of your question. Thus giving this impression that if it were of those varieties, it most likely would not have gotten a PG or other harder rating than G. My 'dumb comment' was an example of how unlikely (from an atheist standpoint in any event) that would be.

Read it again.

ChattyKathy,

Actually, I found the comic quite funny. Thanks for the !

Ya know what, I kind of figured you would, glad you took it as my intent.
