Maybe I'm wrong, but why is it acceptable to bash this group's beliefs?

Seems hypocritical in our country to condemn anyone for their beliefs, no matter how bizarre they may seem?

Anyway, I always liked Battlefield Earth, for typical sci fi pulp fare, certainly no worse than most pulp.

But it was an awful movie.

And no, I'm not part of this faith. I just think they get a bad rap because so many celebrities embrace it and then exhibit odd behavior, so it is assumed it must be their church.
