Not a great batch--did like the last one. Didn't understand the first one. Mixdorf's been goin AFTER the Catholics in his last couple of batches! What's up with that?

First one was a story about the third Star Wars getting a PG13 rather than the usual PG. I thought it would be funny if Star Wars nerds were looking for naked Amidala and hard-core porn.

People that find religious significance in fiberglass Jesus statues deserve ridicule. As does anyone who sees the face of the Virgin Mary in mold, the pattern of a pet's fur, etc. More often than not these are wacko Catholics.

Got it now on the first one--I was thinking of 'rating' in terms of "1 to 5 stars"

On the Catholics--I agree that the whole phenomenon is absurd, but has there been an upswing in recent times? Your headlines would lead one to believe that there had been.

I'll take a gool ol' hard-core Catholic over a nutty Evangelical Protestant ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

There have been a number of news stories related to religious icons lately.

I too am far more frightened of wacko Evangelicals than wacko Catholics, at least in this day and age. Wacko Evangelicals have taken the mantle of intolerance from the Spanish Inquisition and are marching boldly forward, leaving wreckage in their wake.

Perhaps such comments are best left for "Social Conscience." We're all about Headlines and Good Times.
