She's born-again. She's homophobic. Moreover, she's quite possibly insane. She's SHOCKED.

7. First of all, you've misread my intent

Secondly, freedom from hatred is far more important, but that's by-the-by and I obviously need to clarify one or two things:

I'm a little bit disappointed that no-one suspected my post might have been delivered with tongue resting partially in cheek. Not sarcasm, a wry rumination on just what we consider completely sacred and unimpeachable against what we just accept the requirement of photo-ID for.

So we have censorship / age limits systems in place for movies, video games, porn and cigarettes; we know that. We also know that there's no question that the hate-filled extremism of SOME establishments is a bigger threat than any of the things I've listed that we accept limitations on, yet we accept that a seven year old child cannot go and buy Grand Theft Auto, and yet - for no good reason - that such an impressionable creature attending a church known to deliver hate-filled rhetoric is perfectly fine.

What good reason is there to accept one and not the other, especially given the relative harmlessness of the entertainment products?
