Well, Nate, you are not being held down and forced to watch the Torah scroll being submerged in piss. Similiarily, I don't have to watch Popetown or other anti Catholic stuff if I choose not to. The best censor is ultimately the remote control.

Was about to say that. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. That's one of the biggest things that pisses me off. If you don't want to see something, then don't look at it. I don't like to see Jezus pinned on a cross everywhere I go either, but I'm not... okay wait, bad example.
I don't like to see the hairy ass of a construction worker as he bends over to grab a tool, but I'm not organizing crusades and speeches and lawsuits to get the guy to wear a decent belt, now am I? There are people who think differently then you in the world and by saying 'that should not be there because it insults our way of thinking' then you are implying that your way of thinking is the only right one, which is both untrue and self centered.
If there's something on TV that you don't want to see (apparently gay performance at the super bowl for example) then turn off your TV. If there's a song on the radio you don't like, turn off your radio. If someone writes a book you don't like, DON'T READ THE BOOK. Don't try to get this stuff banned or go protesting against it because it makes you look downright stupid, plus if you are going to ignore freedom of speech only when it suits you, don't expect people won't do it back to you.
