> The general public is not commercial pressure.

a) It's not the general public - it's a vocal pressure group who go under the banner of "Christians". That offends me since I disagree with them but am a Christian.

> Its called democracy - a group of people standing up for what they believe to be right and trying to change something.

Yes, people are free to stand up for what they believe in. That's what I'm doing - arguing that we shouldn't be made to feel our opinions are automatically wrong because they disagree with those of the "Christian Pressure Group".

> I find the attitude that we should distance ourselves if it becomes uncomfortable interesting. Did Peter do that when asked three times if he knew Jesus?

I have no idea what you are talking about. Did I say we should distance ourselves if it becomes uncomfortable? Are you using Peter as a good example or a bad one?

Yes - and a democracy takes into account the views of the masses. Things should not be dictated by minorities. If it offends you - don't watch it.

If this is something you believe about so strongly, why are saying it form behind a shield of anonymity? I can think if no reason why you, or a group of people like you, should stop me from choosing to watch/do something that 1) has no impact on you and 2) is not harmful to me.

I have to admit, reading your posts makes me (irrationally?) angry, to the point where I find it difficult not to reduce my typing to offensive four letter words delivered in a mist of spit. I need to sit down and think why it makes me feel like that. When I have worked it out (or if you have any suggestions) we can talk more about it.
