Ah yes, Christians are considered the majority in the US and maybe they need to begin to act like a minority in order to get the attention of President Obama. Obama listens to Muslims, gays, and all other minorities but so seldom seems to hear Christians. I really think that the next time someone makes a "work" of art like **** Christ we should demonstrate outside his house, the art studio that displays it, and everywhere else it is extolled, no matter how much or for what reason. The next time someone makes a movie to dig at Christianity like The daVinci Papers we should do the same. Since there are so many of us that we seem to be a majority we should use those numbers to float one suit after another like the minorities do.
Yes, this is the voiced opinion of the Godfather and roysoldboy, but how many others feel the same way? I wonder what would happen if we tried to help minorities to see what they look like.

People like RSB seldom get off their backsides to do anything constructive, or deconstructive for that matter. And the movie was called the Da Vinci code d...y.
yes, quit being a bunch of whining babies and do something. Riots are especially good at getting peoples attention just don't expect it to be positive.
Also don't be surprised when you movement is demonized as the occupy movement has been
When New York artist Andres Serrano plunged a plastic crucifix into a glass of his own urine and photographed it in 1987 under the title **** Christ, he said he was making a statement on the misuse of religion.
Controversy has followed the work ever since, but reached an unprecedented peak on Palm Sunday when it was attacked with hammers and destroyed after an "anti-blasphemy" campaign by French Catholic fundamentalists in the southern city of Avignon
But on Palm Sunday morning, four people in sunglasses aged between 18 and 25 entered the exhibition just after it opened at 11am. One took a hammer out of his sock and threatened the guards with it. A guard grabbed another man around the waist but within seconds the group managed to take a hammer to the plexiglass screen and slash the photograph with another sharp object, thought to be a screwdriver or ice-pick. They also smashed another work, which showed the hands of a meditating nun.

Why do they need the attention? That's like the biggest, fattest kid at the dinner table demanding a third serving.
