So true. This is how you trick all Christians. Because all Christians are mindless like that, and every one of them judge everyone else.

Non-Christians, on the other hand, they never judge someone like that and are always open and chartible to everyone.

herein lies the problem with fervently devout christians... no sense of humor or irony :(

personally, I'm kinda pissed that gnosticism was done away with. that sounds like a good religion to me.

Why is it that Christianity always get made fun of the most?

It's ones choice to believe in something and have faith in something that is beyond the human life. Whether or not one believes this to be contrary shouldn't provoke jokes or any harmful ill will towards that individual.

I know that it wasn't the posters intent to ridicule or even came up with the joke but it seems that's i'm reading more and more crap spewed out Christianity and I just wonder why? What makes it so laughable? Judaism, Muslim (i forget the name for it) and a whole plethora of religions don't get the same slack as Christianity does.

I don't fully believe in it but I'm not going to sit here and make fun of it just because I don't. Truth is I could see myself believing in it. I just don't get all the hostility towards this religion

Because at lot of vocal Christians act like their shit doesn't stink and try to push their beliefs down everyone's throat by getting legislation passed and telling everyone how to live.

If only it was so simply limited to a certain group of people, huh?

I will admit I make fun of Christianity and I am Christian. Not really a good Christian, but ya know....

I just like to make fun of everything though. I just don't get when I make fun of other religions people crucify me. SEE SEE!!! I have sense of humor!

Anyway... it seems when I make fun of other peoples religion people have the same reaction...HOW DARE YOU!??!!?! Give me an effn break.

All legislation that is passed tells people how to live. It doesn't have to be based in Christianity.

Pick your next lame justification for bashing....

becos this is america and people deal more with the amusing foibles of christianity than any other religion. if i lived in iran i'd probly be making mohamed jokes all the time too. then i'd get my head chopped off.

I know it's easy to attack but come on, there are plenty of religions that are in America (although I know this country was founded by Christians thus a majority are Christians) and if one makes fun of them it's like killing the president.

I'm not advocating for us to make fun of any religion just so we're clear

i advocate making fun of all religions. minorities are just more sensitive and can sue you if you get the wrong person. it's the plight of the WASP.

As a Christian, I was dissapointed in this thread. I thought he was going to say something like, "Throw a bucket of locusts in his house and start running around screaming about 'The end!'" That would have been a good trick to play.

Isn't an Atheist lumping all Christians into one big bucket just as judgemental?

What a hypocrite..."look at me, I'm an Atheist, and I'm so open minded. But those Chrisitians....wow, what a bunch of holier than thou, closed minded freaks!!"

I honestly hope you're joking.

I just think it's ironic that these incidents happen. It's like watching a professed vegetarian place bacon bits on their salad then they proclaim the bits aren't real bacon but a soy product and i ask how they know that is the case because we are eating at Bonanza and there is no label for the bacon bits that says they are artificial.

...that's all


I judge therefore I am.

atheists don't claim that only god/jesus can pass judgment.

“ Religion has certain ideas at the heart of it which we call sacred or holy or whatever. What it means is ‘Here is an idea or notion that you are not allowed to say anything bad about; you’re just not. Why not? — because you’re not.’ If somebody votes for a party you don’t agree with, you’re free to argue about it as much as you like; everybody will have an argument, but nobody feels agrieved by it. If somebody thinks taxes should go up or or down, you are free to have an argument about it. But on the other hand, if somebody says ‘I mustn’t move a light switch on Saturday’ you say, ‘I respect that.’
Why should it be that it’s perfectly legitimate to support the Labour party or the Conservative party, Republicans or Democrats, this model of economics versus that, MacIntosh instead of Windows — but to have an opinion about how the Universe began, about who created the Universe… no, that’s holy?… We are used to not challenging religious ideas but it’s very interesting how much a furor Richard [Dawkins] creates when he does it! Everybody gets absolutely frantic about it because you are not allowed to say these things. Yet when you look at it rationally there is not reason why those ideas shouldn’t be as open to debate as any other, except that we have agreed somehow between us that they shouldn’t be. ”
~ Douglas Adams, author of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Last Chance to See.

This thread fails to recognise that some Christians are not closed-minded bigots.

I'd even go as far as using "many" instead of "some".

Yep. For the purposes of this thread I think you could quite easily replace 'Christian' with 'Conservative Evangelical.'
