And there is a certain fondness for the people it makes fun of. The cast did go to Christian events and talk to Christian teens. What it is critical is the hypocrisy of taking a religion that talks about love and using it to be intolerant of gays, non-believers and others. 70146@blogcritics.org Sat, 19 Jun 2004 20:25:24 EDT
