I have an idea for a new thread...

[Jehosefat]

By the logic applied in this forum with regards to being offended, my deduction from reading the very one-sided mantra towards the offended, is that, for instance I am over reacting for not accepting my Savior to be mocked in such a vile manner, and then calling it out.

 

Yet, should I start making offensive (to others) comments about people with whom I am in disagreement, I would very soon be labeled an intolerant (list whichever noun is most applicable here), and likely be banned from this site.

 

As has been noted here, if one needs to make a comment purely to offend, then as our incumbent president has said yesterday, rather shut up.

You complained on 2 fronts:

 

1) It wasn't humourous. It WAS humourous just not to you because you don't know about Cards Against Humanity. You have no context.

 

2) It offended YOUR god not you. Subtle difference. Your god is not my god and probably not the god of a fair number of people here.

 

Religion will always be a heated subject because it's based on belief not rational thought.

Comes guys chill out. You have as much right to believe what you want as others have the right to joke about it.

Nobody ridiculed you. You are not the religion, and the religion is not you. That's a rather large and important distinction. 

 

Furthermore, it didn't actually ridicule the religion at all. It didn't call it in to question, it didn't say it was an irrational belief system based on bronze age thoughts of belonging and / or society, and it didn't say YOU were a fool for believing in it

 

(for clarity, I only hold to the italicized text - people are free to believe what they want, as long as it doesn't hurt others... as to whether religion helps more than it harms, well, that's another discussion)

 

 

We (as a collective) are fully within our rights to ridicule anything that someone believes in. Do not ridicule the person for believing in it, as people are at times gullible and open to manipulation and erroneous thought regardless of their intelligence or lack thereof. 

 

EDIT: For example - would you ridicule the belief of those in the flat earth society, or the (hilarious) Flying Spaghetti Monster? 

 

Of course you would. But you wouldn't be ridiculing the person unless you said they were an idiot / cretin / backwards hick for believing such claptrap...

For reference and clarity, which of the 2000 odd gods are referring too, I will be sure to only joke about the other 1999 ones.

Robbie - a silly question which might help you understand our reasoning... Which of the 3 gods do you think were offended by the cards?

[Shebeen]
