Your argument is baseless, and to compare Christians to the taliban speaks volumes of you.

No, I'm one myself. But I don't believe in forcing my beliefs on anyone.

People who wish to force companies who are in businesses open to all by ways of threats and boycotts go too far. If you don't like the movie, stay home. If you don't like the TV show, change the channel or turn it off. But its not yours or anyone's place to keep others who want to see a movie, eat at a restaurant, or watch a certain TV show from doing so by coercion.

Maybe the Taliban comparison might seem extreme, but that's exactly how they were. Their way of the highway. What's Bozo's implied threat to BK here? If its not "Back away from this movie or we'll do what we can to financially destroy you", then what in blazes is it?

That's not a teaching of Jesus. Its more like one of Al Capone - who said "You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word."

We don't live in a theocracy, and the sooner you social conservatives get that, the sooner we'll be the movement Sen. Goldwater wanted. He had little use for the religious right, too.

I take Jesus at his word about not making a big show over my religion. Some of y'all should try it sometime.

Peace
