Well, at least there isn't a Mohammed action figure....

Cities would burn and heads would roll.

You chose to not use sensitivity so I exercised my right to report your post with the inappropriate images.

America.......land of liberty and freedom.

interesting how they only get reported when i post them

If indeed this is a 'Jesus Joke ' thread, as you say, then does that somehow justify your name calling and sloppy finger pointing?

Hey there Nagi. How's it goin'?

Sorry, I just have to get in on this one. Too much like living in the South! Thump, thump thump...

It is a useless thread. No question. But if one is so incensed by what is written here... CHANGE THE FLIPPING CHANNEL!!!

I am not into knitting, therefore I avoid threads about knitting. I should be shot dead for interfering on a knitting thread and telling them that I don't agree with them about knitting because I don't like it.

If you were to start a thread on the almighty salvation at hand through your belief in Jesus Christ, I doubt too many of the posters here would give it a second thought. But as soon as you start telling people that they are wrong because their beliefs don't coincide with yours, brother, you are asking for a heap of trouble.

None of this is directed at you Nagi. I just hijacked your post. Sorry but thanks for the ride. I'll type to ya later.

I just thought that this was a Jesus joke thread, which was created and read by people who, well, liked Jesus jokes. It sounds harmless to me.

Exactly. It was a Jesus JOKE thread. You'd have to have a persecution complex or just be a whiny git to report this topic...

It may have been a "joke thread" but she didn't report the "joke". She reported the pictures. I wouldn't call that whiny since they were clearly in violation of TOS.

What thread were you reading? It must not have been this one because no one said anyone's beliefs were wrong. In fact, that was discussed and agreed upon a few posts back. She didn't say "you people are bad, you must stop posting now!" She only asked for a little respect and sensitivity...is that too hard to do? How about you actually read before you hijack the next thread.

I am also a Christian and I don't like people making fun of Jesus or my beliefs either, but on a non-religious forum, you can't expect it to not happen. If people don't believe it, they don't hold the same feelings for it. I agree it'd be nice if ppl had respect for others who don't believe the same as they do, but really I don't find it surprising when people do make fun of things related to Jesus. They make fun of a lot of things here sometimes. Christianity is a nice target for some. I don't like it, but I can't stop it. It would be interesting to see the reactions that would happen if it was a joke thread about Mohammad or Buddha instead.

you know what the reaction would be: howls for your head, demands for a lifetime ban, heavy moderater/admin involvement, etc.

[almaty 19]

i agree with sister stina, i take no joy in taking anyone religion as a joke..if i have in the past, then i am sorry...and please accept my apology ..

note, no muslim should ever dishonor or disrespect jesus( pbuh) as he is honored in the faith

That is a misquote. I never said ' blah blah blah' . Those were your words and in violation of TOS.

Are you sure about that? People seem to get away with snide and inaccurate asides about Muslims all the time on this board... get more wives called 'cook, clean, and laundry', cities would burn and heads would roll, because those Muslims are just so violent that even our messageboards aren't safe, that sort of thing. They're at least as innocuous as 'Jesus saves, rebound to Elijah.'

that was actually a nod to islam, not a swipe at it.

Well as for Buddha you really can't joke about something you don't know well enough to joke about. Most people don't know anything about Buddha (with the exception of him being an overweigh monk). There are some good Hindu jokes though but most of them are only funny because there are so many gods in Hinduism that you can never really know them all .

As for Mohammad, well... we know him well enough but you just don't joke about him for the reason that you get death threats. Death threats aren't much fun . I know even personally a few former Muslims or Finns who've insulted Mohammed who are death threatened, so it's a bad idea. I hope that in the future Islam would also become modernized enough not to produce such a large number of death threats, even the children of the Danish cartoonists where death threatened. I know, I know, most Muslims aren't like that but many enough are.

Of course the world is filled with good Jewish and Holocaust jokes but they are considered too dirty to be told. Besides anyone who tells one is an anti-Semite according to the American standards so that's a big no-no. Even a larger no-no are jokes about blacks. I really used to love those jokes when I was young but after visiting the US multiple times and finding out that no-one laughs at them (unless blacks tell them themselves) I stopped telling them. Apparently you are considered a racist if you tell such jokes (in the US at least that is). Some gay jokes are also funny, actually most of them are, but you can't really tell those either since then you are a homophobe or a racist since gayness is clearly a race... err... anyway...

It's sad how politically correct you need to be in the US. It kind of eats most of the fun from the jokes you make, since people make jokes of one another precisely because people are different. And when you can't joke about differences, all you have left is toilet humor and predictable situation comics.

Christian jokes seem to be rather safe in comparison to all the rest (and even blond jokes are although blonds too are like kind of... err... a race...). Besides Christian jokes are so diverse, you have separate jokes about god, Christ, the Holy Spirit, angels, Protestants, Catholics, churches, cults, priests, the pope, the Madonna, nuns, monks and all the rest.

There are some atheist jokes too but they are rather boring, since it's hard to make fun of something that lacks a distinguishable culture, a set of beliefs or equal. Still, there are a few okay ones like: How many atheists does it take to change a light bulb? -None, they like to remain in the dark.

She didn't say "you people are bad, you must stop posting now!" She only asked for a little respect and sensitivity...is that too hard to do? How about you actually read before you hijack the next thread.

The first time it was forced upon us that the poster was right where others were wrong was when she(?) said:

"I would appreciate a mature sensitivity to other members and their religious belief, I am offended by the blasphemy in this thread. It is entirely possible to believe what you want to believe without being insulting.

Jesus is my Lord and Saviour and these negative comments are provocative and uncalled for. Please be respectful and exercise some sensitivity on this cultural and religious diverse board."

And it happened again when the poster claimed:

"If you prefer being obnoxious and disrespectful then go ahead. No, I do not expect you to fear retribution. God loves you whether you believe it or not. And I have no problem with you personally, just asking you to exercise good common sense and sensitivity out of respect for others. However I will let your words stand out by themselves and not get baited into any further debate with you. Give enough rope to someone and they will hang themselves. Policy of this board I believe.

Have a nice day."

So you can climb down off of your high horse. The poster decidedly stated that others were wrong for their lack of respect and beliefs other than those held by the poster. I strongly suggest that you read a little more before you try and correct someone and most importantly, get your facts straight.

I am all for being sensitive to ones needs and respectful of their beliefs. But this KC Chiefs fan just walked into a Broncos game and told everyone they were full of it but could they please understand her right to say so. That is just foolish.
