Atheist Revolution has a post near and dear to my hear. When the morality police attack, we all lose. Even if the place they attack is an adult bookstore in rural Indiana.
The newspaper in which I found this story, The Indianapolis Star, described this as reflecting "the latest clash of small-town values, including a heaping serving of religious fervor, against what some here view as an increasingly hedonistic and dangerous world." Yes, but it is also a story about Christians attempting to force their morality on others.

Amen brother vjack! It used to be that Beach Blvd here in Orange county was home to a dozen adult bookstores, a couple of pussycat theaters, and countless strip clubs. The Christians worked hard for years to shut them down. They succeeded for the most part. Or more exactly, redevelopment succeeded where Christian activism failed. The adult venues moved down the road from Anaheim and Buena Park to Stanton and Garden Grove. It is like stamping in a in a mud puddle.
What people do in their sex lives, how they like their porn, or how they like to hookup, it's none of our business. The morality police need to police themselves, not us.

Thanks for the link. I'm happy to see that this one struck a nerve. It seems to me that the more the religious right does this sort of thing, the more they expose their true intentions for America.
There is something about a group of busybodies telling me what I can and cannot do that strikes me as fundamentally un-Amercian. Let's call it a pet peeve.
I hear you. It really is un-American. so strange that they see us as the definition of un-American though.
