Very good question, Rich, and I'll answer it from my
perspective.

Because the Christian culture, at least in the United
States, DEMANDS, that ONLY their particular cultural
sensitivities and prejudices be catered to.  There is
no "If you don't want to see it, don't look at it." 
No, rather, it's "I don't want to see it, so you
can't, either."
