Baptists call off 8-year boycott of Disney - we made our point

Church officials had earlier noted that the American Family Association, a Christian group which monitors media content, had ended its own Disney boycott in May.

The meeting also passed a resolution urging parents to monitor public schools for influences of "homosexual activists and their allies."

Parents and churches should do research and monitor entertainment and educational influences on children through access to textbooks, curricula and teachers, and decide whether public, private or home schooling is most appropriate, it said.

"Homosexual activists and their allies are devoting substantial resources and using political power to promote the acceptance among schoolchildren of homosexuality as a morally legitimate lifestyle," the statement said.

Seeing as how EVERYTHING has Disney princesses on it these days - I don't think they were very effective - idiots.

6. Why do religous people have credibility anyway?
They hear voices and talk to imaginary friends. They are mean spirited and wish others would go to hell to suffer.

This qualifies them for leadership positions?
