LVNSD would be much more informative than "Rated R," or, "PG-13."

  • L - Language
  • V - Violence
  • N - Nudity
  • S - Sex
  • D - Drug use
  • B - Blasphemy

Let's include recommended age at the end, so theaters can know whom to exclude (legal reasons):

Family Guy LVNDB-18

Dexter's Lab V-8

Looney Toons VD-8

Telly Tubbies 0

If you’re just going to find any religious nutso to make your argument, I don’t think you’re really arguing in good faith.

Jerry Falwell was a significant Baptist pastor who had a large congregation. He founded a college and also was a significant conservative activist. You could say he was problematic, but he was a significant religious leader.

    I don’t know about him but it doesn’t change what I originally said.

    Billions of people are religious, if they were all so problematic, the world would not function as it does now.

    The reality is most people are quietly following their religion alone at home. Some crazy guy is gonna be louder and more on TV, but that doesn’t mean he represents all.

    It’s really funny when you look at “leftist” Americans for example. They say they didn’t vote for Trump so don’t judge them for his actions, but they ignore that no religious people got to vote for any of those radical and loud few in a position of power either.

    You dismissed a highly ranked and influential religious leader because you didn't agree with the take. This isn't a crank, but someone who had a large congregation and was influential in one of the larger religious organizations in the USA. It goes back to my argument of defining blasphemy. If a major pastor says something is is blasphemous, did that require a warning?

    I am not in USA. I don’t know about him, and nobody I know knows of him. He isn’t Jesus. He is nobody as far as I know, and religious text does not talk about whatever rich man in a rich country is trending at the moment.

    It may seem problematic to you specifically that someone around you is popular and spreading hate, but if you look a bit further around the world, he isn’t anything. Most religious people overall don’t know about him, especially when you consider that there are many religions besides Christianity too.
