Humor

[Guest guest]

And from lack of humor... ;-)

I do think that it is only cool to joke with one's OWN culture or religion, though (the Jewish jokes Rainbow mentioned being a great example).

To do so with someone ELSE'S is usually an underhanded form of hostility that's just not respectful. ('Humor' is probably THE most widely used weapon in the history of the planet.)

To not be able to laugh at oneself implies the lack of a sense of humor.

There is a difference between jokes and malice. The program in question is full of very negative images of Christians and how they are portrayed. There are Christians who make fun in Christians, but this isn't humor, it is intentionally insulting.

As for asking if such a show would be made about muslims was simply a question. I don't think it would be because there would be lawsuits like a blizzard because it would violate PC in a major way. If you think I'm wrong, just read the news. England had been pretty tough enforcing its PC speech codes against Christians and others. However, when complaints were filed against Muslims "dissing" homosexuals, they have backed off of enforcement of the law all of a sudden. That's in the news and really is happening.

Now I really don't want to get into an argument over hurting muslim's feelings. I see that as pointless since the blame will always cycle back to the Christians, as if the muslims are totally blameless since its founding by Mohammed. Sorry that just doesn't fly.
