Paranorman is such a good movie, depriving a kid of it because of your stupid religion is just pathetic.

    If it was only religious beliefs. A lot, if not most, are homophobic without ever thinking about their "religion".

    The vast majority of homophobia has religious roots though. Even if the current iteration the person isexpressing isn't explicitly so. It'll be some childhood bull shit like their religious parents telling them Para-Norman is an evil movie, and they don't even realize its the cause later in life.

    Religious roots or religious "justification"? Like they don't seem to put as much importance on other things their religion says is important, like the commandments about lying or being envious of their neighbours or most of what their religion's namesake said, who was pretty clear that punishing sinners isn't supposed to be a duty of his followers.

    The only people who told me as a child that I was going to hell for not disowning my lesbian parents were “christian”…
