The more important the individual you offend is, the more serious your offense against him is, and the more serious the consequences of your actions are. It is a correlative thing.
Make light of a gnat--nothing heavy about that. Make light of the One who designed everything from millions of galaxies full of supposedly-coincidental gas cloud formations down to the intricacies of a gnat's wings and digestive or reproductive systems--that's heavy.
A "harmless" jab at me would be quite a light offense. A "harmless" jab at an infinite Being is proportionately infinitely offensive. Making light jokes about God is always heavy.

The
Jain would disagree with this philosophy. Forgive the horrible link, with all the flashing buttons and scrolling flashing text. If you require more,
see Google.
Basicly the concept is that all life is precious. This should blow most of your minds, but the idea is that nothing at all, however so minute, should be harmed. That's it in a nutshell. Read up if you care to, or not.
I mean seriously, these fuckers don't believe in your version of God, so they're inherantly evil and will burn in hell forever.
And that, is my problem with your religion. Just because they don't believe the same as you, never mind the fact that they have harmed no living creature in their entire lives, they're damned to hell. It must be nice having such a superiority complex, eh?
Quzah.
