That soooo sounds like a suspension system for a 1967 Buick.

The former is a direct insult because you know that's how it would be received. The latter is no different, but it's okay to offend Christians, because to consciously not do so would be somehow inhibiting to you.

side note:
lol someone accused you of being me

One of us should be miffed.

Not even close. If I knew any Hindi "bad words", I wouldn't be any more averse to using them than I would "take the Lord's name in vain", except insofar as it feels sorta artificial to use a foreign curse word.

Why should I "respect" religion? Any religion?

11-03-2006, 05:20 PM

That is a good question.
I may not respect a religion, but one may want to try not to intentionally offend its followers unnecessarily.

I can't say if the original intent was to offend. I think it was to be ironic. And "Holy Jesus" is fairly common in vernacular ussage. I usually hold my tongue. When I didn't as a kid, my mom litterally put soap in my mouth. Maybe THAT is why I'm an atheist.

I did not say you did... just my criteria. I'm not always very good at it.

I was responding to the "Why not be blasphemous" (or however it went) post, not directly to the title of the thread.

I'm not talking about respecting religion, but respecting people. I'll shut up now, because it's clear that my point will not be acknowledged for what it is.

Pizza for dinner tonight

Pangloss62 · 11-03-2006, 05:48 PM

It's OK mr. noodle. I'll acknowlege your point.

I kinda love everybody right now...don't know why...just a feeling.

11-03-2006, 05:54 PM

I don't think there is such a thing as blasphemy.

If Jesus told him to buy it and then throw it out, that makes it alright.

That's exactly the problem. you cast aspersions on billions of people because of what one asshole did.

Well you see,the masseuse told him how it improved his sexual prowess so the Rev bought some. But when his wife said she wasn't taking it up the ass, he threw it away.

No, I don't. I understand that you'll always take it that way, but that doesn't change what I mean. I don't hold Christianity as beyond criticism, where it is deserved. That's what I would have to do in order to satisfy your conditions that nothing bad ever be said about Christianity under any circumstance whatsoever. I'm not gonna play that game. Sorry.
