Blasphemy is offensive to more people than just Mormons

[edit]

This sentence has been edited down to remove unnecessary items, but in the process makes it sound like Mormons are the only ones that take offense to blasphemy:

[As Mormons find exclamations referencing deity offensive as well, such references were also usually removed.]

In movies like "Zwartboek" (Black Book) and in a less serious example in "Life of Brian", you can see how people of other faith's can take offense to the use of a deity's name in vain to the point of taking that person's life. Clean Flicks was started by Mormons for Mormons but not exclusively for Mormons as there were quite a few people that I knew that were not Mormon yet rented from there because they liked the milder versions better, and I am sure some of them were glad blasphemy was also removed. Other than reverting back to the previous longer winded versions of this statement, I would like to see this sentence show a broader scope, or at least a less pointed one. Is there a way to say "As religious people tend to find..." and still have a reference to it? I mean, if you look in the news paper, you will see that Muslims take this very seriously as well, even more so than Mormons do, maybe you can reference that? --Billy Nair (talk) 11:24, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good point, but then again it was started by Mormons and they were editing the films according to their own standards.VatoFirme (talk) 03:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is this page really about Mormons or is it about CleanFlicks. The first two sources are lightplanet and these don't appear to be a real publication and don't mention Cleanflicks or it's business practices. This would read better as follows, "CleanFlicks was a Utah-based business which produced edited versions of films to remove content that they considered inappropriate for children or that viewers might otherwise find offensive. CleanFlicks removed sexual content,some references to deity, and some violence from movies, even profanity, either by muting audio or clipping entire portions of the track." The problem would still be finding a source to back up the pages claims on cleanflicks. Even if the company was allegedly started by members of a church it does not mean that they used that churches standards to edit these movies. This is also guilty of a sweeping statement that all mormons share the same view not to mention the blanketing statement covering members of other religions, "As Mormons and members of other religions find exclamations referencing deity offensive." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shloftin (talk • contribs) 06:34, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal: Robert Huntsman to here.

[edit]

Proposed by user:Lockley. Lockley, can you explain why you think this is the best course of action? Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 13:55, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, @Boleyn:. Robert Huntsman is only notable for his involvement with CleanFlicks and does not reach WP:BIO otherwise. That's clear from the article. As inventor Huntsman filed a single abandoned patent related to CleanFlicks. As attorney Huntsman filed a single notable case related to CleanFlicks which only reached the United States District Court for the District of Colorado before the company's business practice, and this legal theory, was deemed "illegitimate" by the judge. All best to you --Lockley (talk) 17:26, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
