Yeah, how do they know that God didn't drive this man's hands to make an evidence of him, like he did with writers of the books in Bible?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries.

Ok, this article doesn't names Christians, but who else could it be?
Quote:‘I’ve never see so many sex poses’: Parents flood FCC with complaints about Shakira and J Lo’s Super Bowl halftime show
In the wake of Shakira and J Lo’s widely praised Super Bowl halftime show, the FCC received 1,312 complaints from viewers who were upset with the alleged sexual nature of the performance.
“Jennifer Lopez’s gyrating on a stripper pole with her butt and her crotch smack in front of my eyes, my husband and children was an affront to women and children and violates your rules,” complained a viewer from Tennessee. “I will be boycotting Pepsi and their products and unless you can guarantee a decent half time show next year, we will boycott the Super Bowl."

Personally, I thought these two women were dynamite!
To those viewers who were offended by the performances, I have a suggestion: No one forced you to watch the Super Bowl. Your TV remote has two controls. One changes the station and the other turns the set off. If you don't like the program, exercise the same choice everyone else has. Watch something else or go read a book.
As for myself, I stocked up on Pepsi.

The way we glorify violence, and panic about sex is so backwards. You'll take your kids to a game where people are ramming into each other, and sometimes grievously hurting each other, but if the halftime show has some sexy ladies dancing, that's just too traumatic for you.
"Daddy, why isn't the man getting up?"
"Well, his leg is broken from the three guys that tackled him to the ground."
"Daddy, why to those girls dance like that?"
"Avert your eyes, son!"

Religious conservatives object to sex on the grounds that it might lead to dancing.
Seriously, though - it was J-Lo and Shakira. What did they expect?

Not to mention that J-Lo is a 50 year old woman and could probably be a mother to lots of people who complained she is too sexy.
She is at age when she can easily be a grandmother and can you imagine people calling "Hey, there's this sexy grandma seducing my husband on TV."

The FCC got 1312 complaints. 102,000,000 watched the Super Bowl. Pepsi must be absolutely terrified about a boycott.

Yeah, Pepsi will be shaking in their boots over this. With all the brands under the Pepsi banner, I think they can weather this.
Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Frito-Lay, Quaker Oats, Doritos, Aquafina, Sobe, Starbucks, Lipton tea, Tropicana...to name a few. Not to mention the restaurants they pair with - Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Arby's, Papa John's.
1,300 complaints won't even be noticed. They are surely already coming up with ads for next year's Super Bowl as well as planning the halftime show since they have that contract for the next couple years at least.
