Double Flee A

A christian website that categorically analyzes movies' content and warns people against watching them. Here is the South Park review.

An email I sent the guy that runs that site:

Are you so lobotomized that you couldn't put it together that the movie South Park, for all its lack of substance, can only be wildly successful because people like you devote so much energy to telling people not watch it? You do more to perpetuate "the problem" by holding it under a microscope than you would by ignoring it. The unreligious expect you to react and you do. I understand this country was settled by witch-hunting puritans, but over the last however many hundreds of years, you'd think we'd come to see that the moral bar was set artificially, impossibly high. Specifically, I'd like to say that sex is good. That's how new people are made. Because people like you hide it from and condemn it to young people, they come to see it as being an unnaturally large part of life, something worth being both obsessed with and ashamed of, and that is your worst mistake in your doomed crusade to cleanse the world. Just stop now and find some real peace, and let somebody else warn people about information that you don't give them credit for being able to process. If your religion is so great why do you have to protect its followers from information? Finally, you religious guys drive me nuts, 1) because of your weird desire to be avatars of morality and 2) because you pick on children, the only people likely not to question your obsolete dogmatic hokum. Food for thought, for free, from me to you: George Bernard Shaw once said "the vilest abortionist is he who attempts to mould a child's character."
