"We can't really say we feel comfortable in Los Angeles, because we don't." - John Flansburgh
Of course, there are so many versions of "Christian" out there, many who take their problems with such things to an extreme (like boycotting "Batman" because it's a "symbol of evil," trying to ban Halloween, and other idiotic nonsense like that) that a boycott can't be effective anyway.
No, I won't boycott stuff advertised during the 700 Club, but I generally won't buy anything religious in the first place (unless it deals with religion in a way that TRPTB probably don't want the 'commoners' thinking about, like the lost gospel books), and I occasionally buy the things that the 'christians' are boycotting, just to be contrary. (For example, I LOVED "The Last Temptation of Christ" and "Monty Python's The Life of Brian.")
To paraphrase gleanings from the writings of Jefferson, Franklin, and others: "If the priests don't like it, it probably has some good qualities."

One day in the social class, Mr. John ask his student, "if you see Marylin Manson walking down in the street at your city, who would kick his ass?"

Okey, okey, here's my question:
If you are an immortal, do you "rot" simply because of the
nuclear decay of the Carbon-14 particles inside your body?
PS: There is a lor of evidences against the gospels of Thomas and Phillip, ect. Read about it yourself if your willing to buy them.

I wonder how many people recognized the tralfamadorians when they made their brief, but frenetic appearance? I suspect that 1st of 2 might've, but who else?

P.S.: I never boycott anything. My purchase decisions are governed by 2 factors:

The older you get, the more you begin to realize that if any characteristic needs to be moved to the bottom of the "She's-gotta-be-like-this..." list, it's looks. Mind you, I don't recommend you choose a partner you find physically repulsive, but there's a lot more important characteristics that looks.

Sorry. That just "slipped out".

There was supposed to be a

And if anyone knows about how looks are unimportant it's me. I'm uglier than hell.
