"One of our basic American rights is freedom of religion," reads the petition. "That enjoins on all of us the obligation to respect one another's faith, regardless of whether or not we agree with it. This was not `performance art,' but an act of hatred against Christianity and against all religion."

"What they did was an absolutely unspeakable thing," Rita Cummins said. "They've offended every single one of us. To blaspheme Jesus Christ like that was beyond bad taste. It was an incredibly offensive thing."

There is nothing that says you have to respect or condone religion or actions, contrary to the beliefs of liberals. Sorry, but as offensive as this was, there is nothing that says you have the right to NOT be offended. I suggest that these people put their efforts into boycots and the like, rather than trying to take any sort of legal action.

Seems to me that they are pursuing boycotts.
I didn't see any mention of legal action in the article...
why would you imply that's what they're doing?

I love reading stuff like this...it points up just how many people out there can read the Constitution, which is pretty plain-spoken, and invent something totally different.

These mutants, who did not even see the show they're so cranked about, actually believe that we, as Americans, are "enjoined with the obligation to respect another's faith, regardless of whether or not we agree with it".

I must have missed that line in the Constitution. Thanks, EX-nuns, but I'll DIS-respect whichever religion I wish to, verbally if I so choose. I am IN NO WAY "enjoined" to respect ANYTHING, religious or otherwise.

What absolute fools. Those raising this stink DESERVE disrespect.
