[MisterAnarchist]

...'e roman?

Seriously though, yes, Christians are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to jokes and I feel its the same for white people, sucks doesn't it? But if they're just jokes that don't hurt anyone should this fact hurt you?

 

[GreenDevilJF]

A christian called me a nazi?

LOL

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

No it's not okay, to each their own.
People asking is it okay to mock christians is like me asking,"Is it okay if I punch you in the face?"

It is ok to mock anything, because nothing is without faults.

Question yes, mock no.

 

[Shapsters]

Where do you live that black jokes make you KKK and Jewish jokes makes you a nazi? If you don't like the joke, don't laugh, and move on. Also, whining wont much help your cause either. They are JOKES!!!

I don't have any problem with harmless mocking. The world would be much better if everyone could playfully mock each other. Im just saying that people shouldn't have a serious problem against something good.

Not everyone thinks Christianity is good, most citing The Crusades and "missionary work" (noted for destroying unique cultures and religions).

How do you like it when people mock you? It's annoying isn't it?

"Legislate unfair treatment because of said belief" example please.

"Good" is subjective. I personally know plenty of Christians who use their religion in order to be dicks to people.
"oh, well, if you're not straight, god won't love you." - Paraphrased from memory.
Just for instance.

Now we are relating, Christians who say stuff like that are assholes. I don't even consider them christians. I refer to them as dicktians or chrisdicks.

Annoying, yes, damaging, no. To be honest, though, I'd probably smile and laugh at the motivation behind the mockery. You're being a bit dramatic about the Punch-In-The-FACE routine.

And for the example, say, I couldn't make a law saying that abortion doctors HAD to be atheist, or exclusively ban Christian doctors from performing abortions altogether.

hah you got me there. Well my argument is that those guys who did the crusades were just dicks. Anyone that murders and claims being a christian is just a ballsack. and missionary work? how is giving food to people in 3rd world countries a bad thing?

Some of those missionaries are like "we think your ancient religion is stupid and wrong, believe in Christianity" and they destroy all traces of the old religion, get a chruch put up and leave.

That has a profound effect on unique cultures and religions. Thankfully, that's illegal now (I've been told), but it's a bit late for some.

I personally believe you should never do anything in the name of a God or religion, just do it or don't.
If you need a God backing you up to do something, you can't be very confident...

But, I'm ranting again.

 

[jboking]

we get made fun of on tv more than any race i think

I'm fairly certain we don't count as a race...but I do get your point. Shrug it off I guess.

This is where I find your argument breaks down. You can either argue that Christianity has been a force for good by claiming the good works done in the name of Christianity, or you can dismiss the evil done in its name as not Christian works. To only accept the acts which were both motivated by belief, as well as good, you make yourself a hypocrite. Christianity should either be judged by all of the collected works of Christians around the world (including the Crusades, which were promoted by the Catholic Church, and the internecine Protestant/Catholic fighting) or it should not be judged by any temporal morality.

You guys either suck out loud for having a blood-stained and wretched history, or you don't get to claim any goodness from Mother Theresa or any good works; especially when we're talking about judging groups, and I'm reminded how often religious leaders rail against atheism as causing Stalin, Hitler (who was Christian, incidentally), Chairman Mao, et al. Either man up and take the good with the bad, or throw in the towel on the whole "Christianity is good" bit.

 

[traceur_]

Either it's all ok or none of it is, I poke fun at my anglican friend and he pokes fun at my atheism, it's all in good fun, and it is absolutely ok to make fun of scientology.

 

[lolmeister]

Jokes are made about all religions, racist jokes are told (even black people telling jokes about whites, I have heard some before). But nearly all jokes about religions and races that I have heard are not intended with malice. Of course, some people take them too far, and have an unprovoked dislike of a certain group, but these people are a minority. People who are prejudiced for no reason are just a bunch of jackasses, but people who tell jokes just for fun arent. If everyone could get along, and not get offended by stupid jokes, it would be great.
Also the "christianity holocaust" statement is a TAD extreme.

 

[gh0ti]

For me, you can mock whoever you want. That's free speech. So long as you don't incite violence against others, then insult away. In the end, it just proves how insecure you are, and you'll likely be ostracised for it.

 

[mike1921]

you make a jewsih joke your called a nazi. you make a black joke your a kk member. your make a buddist joke your heartless. you make fun of christians your patted on the back and gets a"thats a good one buddy i totaly agree" wait what. what my point here is it just me or is it ok to mock christians now a days really i mean alot of people do this and even have youtube channels devoted to this an hell even a person said right to my face it was ok to do it becouse they "deserve it".ive seen alot of ppl develope a kind of nazi like behavior about christians and its starting to disturb me how long is it before something like a holocoust happens for the chirstians

.................What........the......fuck?

Most of the mocking of Christians that you'll find in America are from other Christians, or Atheists. Atheists are less than 15% of America (I'm not gonna look it up for any other country, you could look it up for your respective country but unless less than 40% of your country is christian a genocide is absolutely ridiculous).

Also, even if whatever country you're in starts a christian genocide, if it's somewhere close to a first world country then it'll probably fuck up public relations.

but I will not be stoned for my beliefs.

All I needed to hear. Or read.

PS. I am always willing to be stoned, regardless of belief

I think you missed my point. I will not lie down and die for your giggles. I will fight. I will not harm you physically, I will not insult you. I will ask you to stop; that's the Christian way.

That is the ridiculous way.

The only "religion" that it is okay to mock is Scientology.
Because it actualy deserves it.

No, it's ok to mock every religion, every race, every gender, every sexual orientation, every political position, and every person.

No one should be free from being mocked.

dude your an asshole, who cares if our beliefs are "illogical", The teachings of christianity teach people how to become a better person. Who cares if it doesn't make sence as long as it makes us better people.

I care. Because Christianity is such a pervasive and evangelical force it is important because it affects me personally. It needs to be firmly established that believing in a man who was resurrected is against all empirical laws of nature. You're welcome to your "faith" but it is just that, and no one else should be forced to take it seriously as it is a silly hope and overreaction to the fear of death.

As "for making better people," over Christianity's long history I think any fair-minded person could say that a lot of "evil" and a decent amount of "good" have been done in the name of "Jesus." Just the same as the human race in general. There is no evidence to back up the notion that Christians are any more "moral" than atheists or lumberjacks or any other way you wish to divide humans up. Humans make their own decisions about morality, its just when Christians "screw up" it tends to look a lot more like hypocrisy. As for the actual teachings of the bible themselves: The genocide and infanticide commanded by "God" are well documented, but the New Testament marks the first appearance of hell in the mythology. Jesus is pretty loving, unless you don't believe in him, that is.
