religious groups need to get over themselves

really, they do:

Christian groups slam new Kidman children's movie - Yahoo! News

i can't believe the backwards ass logic these people imply (actually i take that back. i can. these people are leaders of a religion, logic doesn't account for anything with these people). they, the catholic church especially, denounce books for children and teenagers that clearly are fiction because they either portray witches and warlocks and wizards in a good light (harry potter) or are written by an atheist who is on the church like darcy tucker was on samy kapanen (for the record, i am a colorado avalanche fan). never mind the fact that they, you know, encourage young people to actually sit down and read or anything important like that. its all about ideology with these nuts. they don't want young people to read fiction that goes against core church teachings but they do want them to read a book that is fiction, and goes against core teachings of common sense. betcha didn't know that the bible advocates stoning women who are raped. that's worse than what the muslims do with their rape victims, and that isn't saying much. betcha didn't know that the bible advocates stoning children too.

let's teach about hating gays and lesbians but embrace the pedophiles that lead our services and the cardinals and popes who enable them. makes a whole lot of sense, don't it?
