Post Here If You Love Jesus!

Precisely. If you take religion so seriously, and are easily offended by material making fun of someone you believe existed and died for you, all that means is that YOU can't post such material. You have no right to say that I, or anyone else for that matter, can't do so. Your beliefs and sensativities shouldn't dictate what the rest of us can and can't say. And again, I'm not sure why this one subject always conjures up such reaction, other then what Mousy presented, while only a fraction of such effort is spent complaining on other equally as controversial subjects. Are they less important?

You should try this one crazy trick that most religous folk avoid just this once. Try looking at things from the other side of your comments. For example, I find it very offensive when people DO believe in Jesus or god. Should I go around to every pro-religious thread and tell them to stop posting positive messages about god and/or jesus because I find it extremely offensive to assume that the bible is the truth? Should I consider your very existence indecent and thoughtless just because you believe in god?

In other words, can you be a little more understanding?

It's not that simple. God to many people is like a dearest family member and part of their soul, so when they see God get ridiculed and insulted it hurts them to a point of feeling the need to complain about. Now, I still think they should stop themselves and see it as an excercise of freedom of speech rather a evil attack on their faith, but we also need to give them a little slack for the reasons I just mentioned. How would you feel if there was a thread ridiculing your father or someone very close to your heart.
Like IKE, I think the lol pictures are funny, but any sentence with the word biitch and Jesus or any portrayal of Jesus as a fool or worse is going too far. Having said that, I respect your right to go to HELL , I mean your right to say what's on your mind. lol JK

There's a small problem with that comparison. My family members obviously exist. Weather god does is not so clear. I see the whole people getting all bent out of shape thing about the subject as a way of shoving their beliefs down my throat. There are plenty of things that I'm quite passionate about, and take it to heart when they are ridiculed. I may say a lot of things in rebuttle, but telling people to have some respect (which actually displays a lack of respect for others merely by making such a request in the first place) and quit posting things that oppose my beliefs is not one of them. They have as much right to take what I love lightly, as I do to hold dear what I love.

What I'm trying to say is that it would be silly not to undestand when believers get mad or hurt at such material. But I agree that they do need to see others' right to speak their mind in a forum that is easy to ignore and turn off.

Oh I understand what you're trying to say perfectly, as well as why they get upset. But what I'M saying is that the only truly silly thing here is not seeing how offensive it is to non-believers that the world revolves around automatically assuming you believe in the respective god of your nation/ethnicity. When something goes wrong, people don't ASK if you believe in god, they just come flat out and say "well....you have to pray. It's the only thing that can help, now". When such things happen or are said, I just keep my mouth shut (as much as the assumption outrageous me), smile, nod and move on. I don't introduce my views, let alone go off about the person being indecent and needing to show some respect.

It just blows my mind that this subject is still so taboo that even believers are condemned for joking around about it like they are on this thread. Mentioning being athiest or agnostic in most societies is like mentioning the the G word when discussing the Armenian genocide in Turkey. People condemn it, and just want to keep the opposing view bottled up and silent. It just annoys me that the "faithfull" only think of themselves when it comes to offending/being offended.

You know, I have a problem with your kind of Christians who can't seem to mind your own business. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Furthermore, because I feel that I am able to joke about anything, even rape, as George Carlin said, what makes you assume I am not a Christian?

Like was said before, if you don't like it, stop coming back to this damn thread. It's almost as if things like this give Christians like you a cause to celebrate and exist. The impression I get is that ones Christianity is dependent on what others say or do. Seriously.

First of all read my post correctly and thoroughly THEN try to argue with me.

I never said you were not a christian.
