Now here's a subject I'm very, very familiar with. I grew up with a Pentecostal reverend for a father; "spare the rod, spoil the child" to the full-on hilt, bible study, prayer meetings, speaking in tongues, your genitals are "tools of the devil," the whole sha-bang. It didn't rub off, though; I call myself an Optimistic Agnostic -- I'm not fully convinced there's a God, but I like to think there's somebody out there watching out for us -- but if I still had any contact with my dad I'm sure he'd label me a flat-out heathen.

And reading those reviews, I was reminded of what it was like growing up trying to watch any movie not made by Disney and trying to listen to any song not sung by Pat Boone. Hell, he went ballistic on me once when I was watching a cartoon and Buggs Bunny said, "There's something awful screwy going on around here." The word "screw" set him right the hell off!

But still, zealots are zealots and there's not really a lot one can do about it. Besides, their reviews aren't intended for anyone but others of their ilk. So long as they don't show up on boards like this attempting to shove their beliefs down my throat, more power to 'em.
