Conservatives and Hollywood

Barbara Sanitee of Tulsa Interfaith Alliance sent out an Alternet article entitled For Religion or Money: Jesus on the Big Screen which, needless to say, is about religious movies. But it was one little paragraph at the end that I particularly wanted you to see:

But a recent study indicated that those with strict religious beliefs enjoy violent and sexually explicit movies as much as any other person. In 2005, a study of 1,000 Americans sponsored by MarketCast and Variety found that those who were the most conservative in their religious beliefs were actually more likely to see films rated R for violence than those who consider themselves more liberal in their religious beliefs.


And the question, of course, is, "What would Jesus watch?"
