Yes I am different than them. I have not attempted to have "christian movies" edited of content I find offending.

I haven't treid to get laws passed to remove certain religious tomes removed becuase of content that is offending to me. Try passages about people should be stoned to death for picking up sticks on sunday. Or if you conquer a people, kill all the men, but keep the women for yourselves.

So when they remove Kapote from the public libraries in Talabama, will that book with stories of rape,murder, incest and a plethora of other "objectionable" acts be removed also?

Books are burning
In the main square, and I saw there
The first eating the text
Books are burning
In the still air
And you know where they burn books
People are next
I believe the printed word should be forgiven
Doesn't matter what it said
Wisdom hotline from the dead back to the living
Key to the larder for your heart and head
Books are burning
In our own town, watch us turn 'round
And cast our glances elsewhere
Books are burning
In the playground
Smell of burnt book is not unlike human hair
I believe the printed word is more than sacred
Beyond the gauge of good or bad
The human right to let your soul fly free and naked
Above the violence of the fearful and sad
The church of matches
Anoints in ignorance with gasoline
The church of matches
Grows fat by breathing in the smoke of dreams
It's quite obscene
Books are burning
More each day now, and I pray now
You boys will tire of these games
Books are burning
I hope somehow, this will allow
A phoenix up from the flames
