E-mail exchange with a coworker this morning:

Coworker, SUBJECT: Um...

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Conservative Christian groups accuse the makers of a video starring SpongeBob SquarePants, Barney and a host of other cartoon characters of promoting homosexuality to children.

The wacky square yellow SpongeBob is one of the stars of a music video due to be sent to 61,000 U.S. schools in March. The makers -- the nonprofit We Are Family Foundation -- say the video is designed to encourage tolerance and diversity.

But at least two Christian activist groups say the innocent cartoon characters are being exploited to promote the acceptance of homosexuality.[Emphasis added.]

I'm really trying to understand how you might *exploit* a cartoon character, but then again, I’m not a Christian activist, so maybe I just don't get it.

D, RE: Um...
I think the lesson here is just that many evangelical Christians know as much about grammar as they do theology.
