Should all religious programming be banned?
Why do you find a bare female breast offensive? I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem with a bare male chest.

Then MONITOR what they are watching!
Parent YOUR children!
... and NO - religious programming shouldn't be banned, however - it should be noted that there are religious topics on a particular show ... just as most shows have a ratings scale shown before each airing or in the "tv guides". You know? Like "Adult language, sexual situations, etc"
I don't find a bare female breast offensive at all, BUT - I do not think the way it was exposed is appropriate for my children.
That said, my child (and future unborn child) can ask her mother or myself ANYTHING! She has been raised to be inquizative and taught not to be embarassed to bring things she doesn't understand to our attention.
All questions are answered in what we deem to be an appropriate manner for her age. We will not lie to her ... we will explain things as we can so she will understand.
... and just for the record, my child does not watch TV at all ... She is a very bright and creative child that has learned how to express herself artistically and can amuse herself and play games and do athletics with her friends, US, or on her own!
We don't have to passify her with the boob tube!
She can continue to learn for herself and grow without the influence of Kim Possible, The Power Puff Girls, and the other garbage on TV that has no real intrinsic value to her growth other than keeping her sitting still bug-eyed until a commercial comes on that brainwashes her into wanting MORE bullshit toys hawked by these cartoon characters!!!
Most parents put their kids in front of the TV for what reason?
TO BABYSIT THEM!
That is the weakest form of parenting there is!
