lockmat Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Is anyone really surprised?And it's happened on all three of those airlines at the same time? That's kinda weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston1stWordOnTheMoon Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 And it's happened on all three of those airlines at the same time? That's kinda weird.Not so weird for it to happen on multiple airlines at or near the same time. They often use the same company that edits and distributes the movies.

Parrothead Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Wow, I wonder how far America is willing to bend over to remove God from our lexicon? What kind of message does this send to our enemies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 This is going overboard! It's freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion.Actually, a lot of the lawsuits you see along these lines are brought or sponsored by an organization out of Madison, Wisconsin called the Freedom From Religion Foundation. I won't link to them here. They don't deserve the PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 That organization is basically doing what they are against. They are against having religion thrown at them, or so I assume, but they are more than happy to force or atleast try to force everyone to go their way.

What kind of message does this send to our enemies?You clearly are offended by a capitalistic corporation's decision to censure the content on their product. Were you equally offended that they censured out references to homosexuality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonmacbro Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 This is going overboard! It's freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion.I'm not an atheist, but I will take freedom FROM religion at times too. I think cutting it from movies is overboard, but there are times I don't want to hear 'the message'.Wow, I wonder how far America is willing to bend over to remove God from our lexicon? What kind of message does this send to our enemies?You're not serious are you? What kinda message does it send to our 'enemies' ...? You really think our enemies (whoever and wherever they are) care if we say God on an airline movie?I am more concerned about the government protecting me from deadly lettuce and spinach and beef, than Al Qaeda.Don't get played.

Were you equally offended that they censured out references to homosexuality?Probably not. I think that is one word (the shame, the horror of two same-sex people .. in love ...or worse yet ... having sex!) a lot of Americans wish would just go away. I doubt a lot of people would stand up to keep those references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you equally offended that they censured out references to homosexuality? I'm sorry, we are speaking of religion here, are we not? Not sexual preference. In regard to your first statement, yes, I am offended. Thanks for noticing! You're not serious are you? What kinda message does it send to our 'enemies' ...? You really think our enemies (whoever and wherever they are) care if we say God on an airline movie?Don't get played. You're the one getting played, if you don't think our enemies (and, um, Al Qaeda is but one of our enemies.) notice news clips like this and use it against us. The more we remove God, the more secular we become. That does not bode well for us. I mean, hell, just look at England, France, and Australia. They are having their share of issues with Muslims demanding Allah be in everything that was once credited to God. No real coincidence there, and we are headed down the same path. I am more concerned about the government protecting me from deadly lettuce and spinach and beef, than Al Qaeda. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Wow. No kidding... Where did that quote you replied "wow" to come from? My friend was flying from LAX or Burbank (can't remember) to Phoenix a couple weeks ago and a muslim man who was on the No Fly list was taken off in cuffs. I'm sure the govt. is protecting us a lot more than we think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieDidIt Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I thought they only edited out the word when it was used in "vain." Like "OH GOD!" As NOT to offend those of a religious nature.Editing as they would curse words. They have done that for years.........yet they leave ass and krap in. Go figure.
