The actual quote is "It is the test of a good religion whether you can make a joke about it". It was said by G.K. Chesterton, a very quotable individual! A group about ...

If we can't discuss this movie without preaching about one's personal beliefs or without insulting other members' religious beliefs then we won't discuss this movie at all.

Huh?

I'm afraid I have to disagree. I'm a big fan of Animation Nation, though I don't get to join in the discussions as much as I'd like to. Based on your reaction, I'm assuming you saw the "IN YOUR FACE, DREAMWORKS!!!" thread with the quote "Put THAT up your pipe and smoke it, Katzenburg!"

How about North, South, Easton, West Studios?
